Abstract: Optimization methods, and more particularly topological improving approaches, have made it possible to explore new electrical machines designs and have provided new ways for improving these machines. However, the vast majority of these optimizations is based solely on the magnetic aspect. This work proposes to include two mechanical aspects: the maximum equivalent von Mises stress and the maximum displacement of the material to avoid excessive deformation during rotation. These criteria are added to the common magnetic aspects to optimize the topology of the rotor of a synchronous reluctance machine.
