Problems demanding globally optimal solutions are ubiquitous, yet many are intractable
when they involve constrained functions having many local optima and interacting, mixed …

In this study, two formulations for the robust optimisation of the size of the permanent magnet
in a synchronous machine are discussed. The optimisation is constrained by a partial …

One of the important challenges in design of the PM electrical machines is to reduce the
cogging torque. In this paper, in order to reduce the cogging torque, a new method for …

This work deals with the differential-evolution (DE)-based method for simultaneous
identification of the electric, magnetic, and mechanical subsystem parameters of a line-start …

The topology optimization by distributing the magnetic material in the design domain, which
is called as the ON/OFF method, is attractive for designers of magnetic devices, because an …

This work deals with the design optimization of electrical machines under the consideration
of manufacturing uncertainties. In order to efficiently quantify the uncertainty, a hybrid Gauss …

This thesis deals with optimal design of surface and interior permanent magnet motors with
an emphasis on reduced torque pulsations while maximizing the motor performance in all …

An optimization of radial active magnetic bearings is presented in the paper. The radial
bearing is numerically optimized, using differential evolution-a stochastic direct search …

Recently, the combination of global convergent stochastic search methods with
approximation schemes based on radial basis functions has been introduced. This paper …

This paper presents an analytical electromagnetic model of a rectilinear actuator. The model
is based on a reluctance network, which can be solved with the same techniques as for an …
