Resumen de Optimum design of Maglev lift system's electromagnet for weight reduction using response surface methodology
Purpose – This paper aims to discuss the optimum design of a Maglev lift system's electromagnet to reduce the weight of the machine with constraint of normal force using response surface methodology (RSM).
Design/methodology/approach – The optimum design of Maglev lift system's electromagnet for weight reduction is performed by using RSM. The magnetostatic analysis of Maglev lift system's electromagnet is performed by using ANSYS.
Findings – The process is based on minimization of an appropriate objective function, while at each step the response is determined by the 3D finite element method (FEM).
Research limitations/implications – It is necessary to compare normal force between the 3D FEM result and the experimental result of the manufactured model.
Originality/value – The paper deals with the possibility of using the RSM for optimization of an electromagnet with a higher number of the design variables.
