Abstract

This paper presents a new topology optimization method based on basis functions for design of rotating machines. In this method, the core shape of a given rotating machine is represented by the linear combination of the basis functions. The shape is then freely deformed by changing the weighting coefficients to the basis functions to find the optimal shape. The proposed method is compared with the conventional shape optimization based on polygon morphing. The former is shown to outperform the latter in both interior permanent magnet and synchronous motor models.
