Abstract

Linear switched reluctance motors (LSRMs) are attractive machines for industrial applications. Their structure is simple, robust, and low cost. Despite these advantages, LSRMs suffer from inherent high force ripples which induce noise and vibration problems. The force performance of these motors is largely influenced by their geometry. Therefore, the dimensions must be optimised to improve the force performance. The aim of the present work was to determine the optimum dimensions of a double-sided LSRM using non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm-II and multi-objective seeker optimisation algorithm along with a three-dimensional (3D) finite element analysis. The analysis and modelling results are presented, and a laboratory prototype is built. The results revealed that the optimised motor has a higher average force, lower force ripple, and lower total mass
