Optimal Design of Thrust Characteristics of Permanent Magnet Type Linear Motor Using Orthogonal Table and Multi-Regression Analysis

We propose an optimization method using the orthogonal table of experimental design method and multi-regression analysis coupled with 2-D FEM. This method is independent on the starting point.
A linear synchronous motor with permanent magnets (PMLSM) is designed to develop a large thrust and a small force ripple. We have obtained approximately the same result when starting from different initial positions.
