Therefore, the purpose of this work is to perform detailed geometrical sensitivity analysis of a 36 slot/4 pole permanent magnet assisted synchronous reluctance (PMASR) motor using h-indexing and level sensitivity analysis in order to specify a guideline for designers to prioritize the design variables for optimization. Systematic multi-level design optimization for multiple objectives is implemented by an NSGA-II algorithm aided by the finite element analysis tool, hardware prototyping and experimental validation. The optimized designs also exhibit better structural and thermal characteristics.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={Geometrical sensitivity analysis based on design optimization and multiphysics analysis of PM assisted synchronous reluctance motor}, URL={http://ochroma.man.poznan.pl/Content/111110/PDF/17_155-164_00769_Bpast.No.67-1_06.02.20.pdf}, doi={10.24425/bpas.2019.127345}, keywords={PMASR motor, sensitivity analysis, finite element analysis, thermal analysis, stress analysis}, }
