Editors’ Choice: Combined Electromagnetic and Mechanical Design Optimization of Interior Permanent Magnet Rotors for Electric Vehicle Drivetrains
This study presents a comprehensive optimization of IPM rotors for EV drivetrains, balancing mechanical stress and electromagnetic performance to achieve high torque density and rotor reliability at high speeds.

In many high-speed electrical machines, centrifugal forces within the rotor can be first-order constraints on electromagnetic optimization. This can be particularly acute in interior permanent magnet (IPM) machines in which magnets are usually retained entirely by the rotor core with no additional m...
