Optimization of the Brushed DC motor for Automotive Applications by the use Taguchi method

This paper presents an analysis and optimal design of the brushed permanent magnet motor for automotive applications. The mathematical model describing the phenomenon in the design motor was developed in the 2D finite element method (FEM). The optimization was made using the Taguchi method. Taguchi method optimization requires solving the analysis task for a determined number of experiments, and the number of experiments is closely related to the number of design variables. The optimized brushed permanent magnet motor was described by three design variables. In the conducted research the objective function is constructed by three or four components described the motor parameters and mass of permanent magnet material used to construction of the motor. Selected results of optimization were presented and discussed
