Hi all,
I am working on the design of switched reluctance motor. The attached file shows the magnetic flux density in rotor and stator as well as the B-H curve of corresponding material. The rotor and stator are in saturation region. What is the maximum allowable magnetic flux density to have good performance in long time?

Long term performance isn't the issue, you're wasting magnetic material if you are operating into deep saturation.
 
For a spinning motor you are always going to have areas that are well into saturation on a regular basis. That's because the conducting area goes from a small amount (teeth moving towards each other) to a large area (teeth line up perfectly) back to a small area (teeth moving away from each other). I don't have any experience with switch reluctance motors but I know that with our universal motors a good bit of material is saturated quite a bit of the time.
