Abstract :
This thesis compares the advantages and disadvantages of the Tunnel Actuator and those of the existing linear motors. Then, an optimum design method for performance improvement was proposed, and an optimal design to maximize the thrust of the tunnel actuator was made by using 3D finite elements method and response surface method.
