... proposed motors are determined. Some specific design issues, including the stator/rotor pole sandwiching pole angle, the stator tooth angle and the rotor pole angle have been optimized to minimize the cogging torque while maintaining the high torque density by means of response surface methodology (RSM...

... uniformity and value of the sensitivity distribution of the sensor, while keeping the mutual capacitances between the electrodes above a predefined level. Design/methodology/approach The optimization methods that have been used are response surface methodology, genetic algorithm and a combination of both...

... Optimization techniques Permanent magnet actuators Response surface methodology Sequential linear programming 3D finite element method Permanent magnets are being increasingly used in recent years for actuators for different applications (Campbell, 1994 ; Boldea and Nasar, 1997 ; Furlani, 2001...

... The accent is put on the cases when the device characteristics are presented as polynomials, obtained on the bases of the design of experiments (DOE) and the response surface methodology. An arbitrary technical characteristic Z_x=Z(x→) is presented. Practical...
