This review presents developments in structural shape optimization post 2000 from
perspective of numerical analysis techniques. Traditional shape optimization with FEM has …

This work uses multi-material topology optimization (MMTO) to maximize the average torque
of a 3-phase permanent magnet synchronous machine (PMSM). Eight materials are …

Density-based topology optimization (TO) methodologies in magnetostatics interpolate
either the magnetic permeability or the magnetic reluctivity to define intermediate materials …

A topology optimization method is presented and applied to a blazed diffraction grating in
reflection under conical incidence. This type of grating is meant to disperse the incident light …

In structural optimization, both parameters and shape are relevant for the model
performance. Yet, conventional optimization techniques usually consider either parameters …

In recent years, the deterministic design optimization method has been widely used to
improve the output performance of brushless direct current (BLDC) motors. However, it does …

In this paper, a systematic approach to achieve optimized design of interior permanent
magnet machine (IPM) having novel semi-overlapping windings (NSWs) is presented. The …

This paper investigates the optimization of iron distribution in the rotor of a permanent
magnet synchronous machine. The objective is to maximize the average torque for fixed …

The objective of conventional topology optimization is to optimize the material distribution for
a prescribed design domain. However, solving the topology optimization problem strongly …

The noise that comes from finite element simulation often causes the model to fall into the
local optimal solution and over fitting during optimization of generator. Thus, this paper …
