The interior permanent magnet synchronous motor(IPMSM)with multi-segmented skewed poles(MSP)is more and more widely used as electric vehicle(EV)drive motor due to its high power density,high torque density and wide speed range,as well as low cogging torque and low torque fluctuation.The electromagnetic noise of driving motor is one of the main noise sources of EVs.The electromagnetic force generated by the air gap magnetic field acting on the inner surface of the motor stator is the main source of the electromagnetic noise.Therefore,the analysis and optimization of the magnetic field and electromagnetic force of the IPMSM with MSP is of great theoretical and engineering value to solve the electromagnetic noise problem of the IPMSM with MSP of EVs from the source.(1)The analytical
