A modified migration model biogeography evolutionary approach for electromagnetic device multiobjective optimization

摘要

Inthispaper, we present anefficient androbust algorithm for multiobjective optimization of electromagnetic devices.Therecentlydeveloped biogeography-based optimization (BBO) is modified byadapting its migration model function so as to improve its convergence.The proposed Modified Migration Model biogeography-based optimization (MMMBBO) algorithm is applied into the optimal geometrical design of an electromagnetic actuator. This multiobjective optimization problem is solved by maximizing the output force as well as minimizing the total weight of the actuator. The comparison between the optimization results using BBO and MMMBBO shows the superiority of the proposed approach.
