Previously, topology optimization in linear magnetostatics was formulated to design Hall-effect thrusters and it was solved using gradient based solvers. In that previous version, the gradient information was provided by the continuous adjoint method. Herein, the adjoint approach is updated in order to take into account the saturation aspect of materials. This new version of the adjoint method is implemented and compared to a finite difference approach. The comparison shows that the so-developed adjoint based gradient information in non linear magnetostatics is accurate and ready for use to solve a topology optimization design problem. Hence, a Hall-effect thruster topology optimization problem is solved in both linear and non-linear cases and a comparative description of the found designs will be presented.","PeriodicalId":317315,"journal":{"name":"2019 22nd International Conference on the Computation of Electromagnetic Fields (COMPUMAG)","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132821220","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The LGR is composed of one or more loops and gaps acting as inductances and capacitances respectively. Typical LGR designs produce a uniform field on a sample at a single resonant frequency, but for certain experiments it is necessary to study the response of a material to uniform fields at multiple frequencies applied simultaneously. In this work we develop an empirical design procedure using finite element method calculations to design an asymmetric loop-gap resonator with uniform fields at two frequencies in the same sample volume and analyze the field uniformity, frequency tunability and filling factors, providing comparison to a manufactured device.","PeriodicalId":317315,"journal":{"name":"2019 22nd International Conference on the Computation of Electromagnetic Fields (COMPUMAG)","volume":"49 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133023880","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In order to further improve the accuracy, this paper takes the reluctance resolver as the research object and utilizes Ansoft to establish its finite element (FE) analysis model. The optimized parameters are the slot-opening width of stator, the rotor sine coefficient, and the minimum air-gap length. The total harmonic distortion and zero-position voltages of the output signals are selected as objective functions. The mathematical model based on support vector regression machine is established by the simulation samples. The improved multi-objective particle swarm optimization algorithm is applied to optimize the model to get the optimal parameters. The final optimal design is selected from the Pareto front using the TOPSIS method. The simulation of the design and experimental results verify the feasibility of the method.","PeriodicalId":317315,"journal":{"name":"2019 22nd International Conference on the Computation of Electromagnetic Fields (COMPUMAG)","volume":"132 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127566351","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
