An interactive hybrid evolutionary computation (IHC) process for MEMS design synthesis is described, which uses both human expertise and local performance improvement to augment the performance of an evolutionary process. The human expertise identifies good design patterns, and local...

This paper presents a specific design methodology of a DC generation system using a high-speed slotless generator with surface-mounted magnets and soft magnetic composite (SMC) stator yoke connected to a rectifier. The method is based on an analytical design model of the machine, an electrical...

In this paper we describe briefly a set of procedures for the optimal design of full mission aerospace systems. This involves multi-physics simulations at various fidelity levels, surrogates, distributed computing and multi-objective optimization. Low-fidelity analysis is used to populate a...
