Differential evolution algorithm is a new global optimization algorithm. DE does not require an initial value, and it has rapid convergence, strong adaptability to a nonlinear function, the features of parallelcalculation, especially in adoption to the complex problem of multivariable optimization. The constitutive integration algorithm affecting the incremental calculation step, and convergence and accuracy of the results is a key of finite element analysis. It is usually divided into an explicit and implicit integration. Return mapping algorithm is an implicit integration to avoid solving the equivalent plastic strain directly so that we achieve a fast and accurate solution for the constitutive equations. Making use of DE and return mapping algorithm to program, the elasticplastic finite element simulation and parameter inversion, the inversion and simulation results are verificated, the results show that it is closed to the actual situation, indicating usefulness and correctness of the program.

Abstract This paper discusses the optimization of surface-mounted permanent magnet brushless AC (PMBLAC) motor using Analytical Sub-domain model with Differential Evolution Algorithm (ASDEA). Only two regions were considered in this analytical sub-domain model, ie magnet and airgap regions, with assistance of Complex Relative Permeance Function (CRPF) to account for the stator slotting effect. Five machine parameters were chosen to be optimized, namely the magnet arc-pole-pitch ratio, slot opening width, magnet thickness, airgap length and stator inner radius. The optimization process has four objectives, ie minimum torque ripple, low cogging torque, high efficiency, and high output torque. The results from the optimized ASDEA were compared with the Analytical Sub-domain Genetic Algorithm (ASGA) and further validated against 2-D finite element model (FEM). Results show a good agreement between analytically optimized models and finite element model. The ASDEA has faster computational time compared to ASGA, and this provides benefit in terms of reducing the machine design parameterization time and less redundancy work required to achieve motor design specifications.
