In order to predict the lateral rotordynamics of a high-speed induction motor, an optimization procedure is used for identifying the dynamic behavior of the magnetic core made of a lamination stack, tie rods, and short-circuit rods. Modal parameters predicted by a finite-element model based on beam elements and measured on induction motors are included in modal error functions contained in a functional. The minimization of this functional by using the Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm permits extracting the equivalent constitutive properties of the lamination stack for several rotors of different sizes. Finally, the size effect on the constitutive properties identified is discussed.
