Three-Dimensional Shape Optimization of Claw-Pole-Motors

Pole Shape Optimization of Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors Using the Reduced Basis Technique

In the present work, an integrated method of pole shape design optimization for reduction of torque pulsation components in permanent magnet synchronous motors is developed. A progressive design process is presented to find feasible optimal shapes. This method is applied on the pole shape optimization of two prototype permanent magnet synchronous motors, i.e., 4-poles/6-slots and 4-poles-12slots.

Three-dimensional Parametric Shape Optimization Using Parallel Computers

The design software system described here is based on a combination of several software components. These components include optimization, physics-based analysis such as computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and finite element analysis (FEA) and supporting tools, and shape design parameterization. The optimization and CFD/FEA related codes, such as mesh generation and partitioning, can be consider...

Shape Optimization in Three-Dimensional Contact Problems with Coulomb Friction

We study the discretized problem of the shape optimization of three-dimensional elastic bodies in unilateral contact. The aim is to extend existing results to the case of contact problems obeying the Coulomb friction law. Mathematical modelling of the Coulomb friction problem leads to an implicit variational inequality. It is shown that for small coefficients of friction the discretized problem...
