Abstract
In this paper a brushless permanent magnet motor is designed considering
minimum thrust ripple and maximum thrust density (the ratio of the thrust to permanent
magnet volumes). Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) is used as optimization method. Finite
element analysis (FEA) is carried out base on the optimized and conventional geometric
dimensions of the motor. The results of the FEA deal to the significant improvement of the all
objective functions.
