Description
Computational Methods for the Innovative Design of Electrical Devices is
entirely focused on the optimal design of various classes of electrical devices. Emerging new methods, like e.g. those based on genetic algorithms, are presented and applied in the design optimization of different devices and systems. Accordingly, the solution to field analysis problems is based on the use of finite element method, and analytical methods as well. An original aspect of the book is the broad spectrum of applications in the area of electrical engineering, especially electrical machines. This way, traditional design criteria of conventional devices are revisited in a critical way, and some innovative solutions are suggested. In particular, the optimization procedures developed are oriented to three main aspects: shape design, material properties identification,
machine optimal behaviour.
Topics covered include:
New parallel finite-element solvers
Response surface method
Evolutionary computing
Multiobjective optimization
Swarm intelligence
MEMS applications
Identification of magnetic properties of anisotropic laminations
Neural networks for non-destructive testing
Brushless DC motors, transformers
Permanent magnet disc motors, magnetic separators
Magnetic levitation systems
