Optimization with experimental design: an approach using Taguchi's methodology and finite element simulations
Stéphane Brisset, F. Gillon, Stéphane Vivier, Pascal Brochet · IEEE Transactions on Magnetics · 2001
In this paper, an optimization method, based on fractional experimental design, is proposed and applied to the design of a brushless DC motor. Taguchi's methodology and a limited number of finite element simulations are used to build an approximation of the cost function of an optimization problem. This approximation allows one to quickly locate the global optimum.
