Presents a multi-objective design approach to the many power
magnetic devices in use today

Power Magnetic Devices: A Multi-Objective Design Approach
addresses the design of power magnetic devices--including
inductors, transformers, electromagnets, and rotating electric
machinery--using a structured design approach based on formal
single- and multi-objective optimization.

The book opens with a discussion of evolutionary-computing-based
optimization. Magnetic analysis techniques useful to the design of
all the devices considered in the book are then set forth. This
material is then used for inductor design so readers can start the
design process. Core loss is next considered; this material is used
to support transformer design. A chapter on force and torque
production feeds into a chapter on electromagnet design. This is
followed by chapters on rotating machinery and the design of a
permanent magnet AC machine. Finally, enhancements to the design
process including thermal analysis and AC conductor losses due to
skin and proximity effects are set forth.

Power Magnetic Devices:

* Focuses on the design process as it relates to power magnetic
devices such as inductors, transformers, electromagnets, and
rotating machinery

* Offers a structured design approach based on single- and
multi-objective optimization

* Helps experienced designers take advantage of new techniques
which can yield superior designs with less engineering time

* Provides numerous case studies throughout the book to
facilitate readers' comprehension of the analysis and design
process

* Includes Powerpoint-slide-based student and instructor lecture
notes and MATLAB-based examples, toolboxes, and design codes

Designed to support the educational needs of students, Power
Magnetic Devices: A Multi-Objective Design Approach also serves
as a valuable reference tool for practicing engineers and
designers. MATLAB examples are available via the book support
site.
