Abstract

Permanent magnet electrical machine rotors and construction methods can include at least one magnet and at least one retention element. An axial relative force maintained between one or more magnets and one or more retention elements can urge the retention element along one or more magnet surfaces to induce a hoop stress in the retention elements and a compressive stress within the magnets.
