Identification of Jiles–Atherton Model Parameters Using Particle Swarm Optimization

This paper presents the use of the multiobjective particle swarm optimization (PSO) technique for the identification of Jiles-Atherton model parameters. This approach, implemented for the first time in order to solve this kind of problem, is tested for two magnetic materials: NO 3% SiFe and NiFe 20-80. The results are compared with those obtained with a direct search method and a genetic algorithm procedure. Experimental measures performed on both samples of materials allow us to complete and argue the validation for the PSO method.
