Shape Optimization of a Thomson coil Actuator of Arc Eliminator Using Topology Modification

Topology Modification을 이용한 Thomson coil Actuator의 형상 최적화

The shape optimization of a Thomson coil actuator used in an arc eliminator is done for fast response by adopting topology modification method. The performance of the actuator is analyzed by using an equivalent circuit method. Both shape optimization and performance analysis are accomplished based on the segmentation of plate. The effectiveness of the proposed method is proved by the comparison of results before and after the shape optimization.
