Abstract: In a relentless desire to continuously improve the performance of electric actuators, topological optimal design methods present interesting possibilities. In particular, this work applies an optimization approach of material distribution in order to define new configurations of material arrangements (air, steel, copper) for internal parts of machines, that potentially provide better performance. This methodology is applied to different design configurations of magnet-free synchronous machine rotors.
