Is this definite integral solvable?

Posted 8 years ago

I have been looking at the eccentricity in induction motor. Through using the Maxwell's equations I have arrived at the equation (1) in the attached file.
However, I cannot find a solution for the equation (2) in a closed form using Mathematica. I believe, that the solution can be greatly simplified as described in the attached file. Am I correct or not?

This may be useless information by now, but I looked at the integral and found that there is a relatively simple equation for this integral, at least for integer values of p. See the attached notebook.

If I use symmetry take 2 x integral from 0 to Pi and define the constraints on the parameters, Mathematica gives me an analytical answer to the integral:

In[34]:= Integrate[2 Cos[p b]/ (1 + e Cos[b]), {b, 0, Pi}, 
 Assumptions -> e > 0 && p > 0 && p \[Element] Integers && e <= 1]

Out[34]= -((
 2 \[Pi] HypergeometricPFQRegularized[{1/2, 1, 1}, {1 - p, 1 + p}, (
   2 e)/(-1 + e)])/(-1 + e))

If you post actual Mathematica code people are more likely to try it out.

By any chance, is ? a mall parameter ?<<1 ?
