Topology Optimization Using Gabor Filter: Application to Synchronous Reluctance Motor

This article proposes a novel topology optimization method using the Gabor filter, which is widely used in field of image processing. The proposed applied to synchronous reluctance motor; its average torque maximized, and simultaneously, ripple minimized. It shown that results motor with thin layer-shaped flux barriers, achieves better performance comparison conventional model optimized normalized Gaussian network (NGnet).
