Description
Summary:Purpose - The space-mapping (SM) optimization technique, with its input, implicit or output mapping-based implementations, provides a basis for computationally efficient engineering optimization. Various algorithms and design optimization problems, related to microwave devices, antennas and electronic circuits, are presented in numerous publications. However, a new application area for SM optimization is currently expanding, i.e. the design of electromechanical actuators. The purpose of this paper is to present an overview of the recent developments.Design methodology approach - New algorithm variants and their application to design problems in electromechanics and related fields are briefly summarized.Findings - The paper finds that SM optimization offers a significant speed-up of the optimization procedures for the design of electromechanical actuators. Its true potential in the area of magnetic systems and actuator design is still rather unexplored.Originality value - This overview is complementary to the previous published reviews and shows that the application of SM optimization has also extended to the design of electromechanical devices.
