Abstract

Evolutionary design refers to the use of evolutionary computing methods in the design process. Normally, this entails the formulization of the design problem as an optimization problem, which is solved using evolutionary techniques such as a genetic algorithm or particle swarm optimization. This paper provides three examples in the use of this highly effective method to the design of electromagnetic and electromechanical devices.
