Induction Motor Design for Ad Hoc Actuation Systems

Abstract:

In this paper the application of Taguchis methodology to the design of actuators for aerospace applications is presented. The preliminary design employing time-stepping finite element analysis is carried out in order to determine actuators basic dimensional and operating characteristics. Configuration considered is subsequently optimized regarding the mean torque and torque ripple through the application of a specific optimization procedure employing Taguchis methodology. Resulting IM configuration has been validated through manufactured prototype illustrating the effectiveness of the proposed optimization algorithm.
