Abstract

This paper proposes a robust and reliability-based shape optimization method to find the optimal design of a permanent magnet (PM) synchronous machine . Specifically, design of rotor poles and stator teeth is subjected to the shape optimization under manufacturing tolerances/imperfections and probabilistic constraints. In a forward problem, certain parameters are assumed to be random. This affects also a shape optimization problem, which is formulated in terms of a tracking-type robust cost functional. The latter is equipped with probabilistic constraints in order to attain a new, desired, robust design. The topological gradient is evaluated using the Topological Asymptotic Expansion Method , to which we apply a Stochastic Collocation Method. In the end, to illustrate our approach, we provide the optimization results for a 2D model of the PM machine.
