Surface-mounted permanent magnet synchronous motors (SMPMSM) with high power density and good speed regulation are widely used in industrial applications. In order to further improve its power density, this paper studied the relationship between the thickness of the stator yoke, the thickness of the rotor yoke, the relative magnet span of the motor and the motor power density using the finite element simulation method. On this basis, a response surface model between the three parameters and the power density of the motor was established. Based on this model and a differential evolution algorithm, the motor was optimized and the power density was improve; finally, the optimization results were verified using the finite element simulation method. In addition, the optimization results showed that, when other structure parameters remain unchanged, there is an optimal combination of parameters that can maximize the motor's power density, including the thickness of the stator yoke, the thickness of the rotor yoke and relative magnet span of the motor.

Based on traditional sandwich structure, two piezoelectric transducers were designed to meet the strict underwater application backgrounds such as high pressure, corrosion resistance, and high strength. Both transducers integrated most of previous researches while one transducer has a multilayer cavity structure which is different from the other structure and previous transducer structures. After a detailed simulation analysis of every structural parameter, key parameters were pointed out to have an obvious influence on its performance. Then, two models were constructed and compared with chosen sets of geometry parameters and manufacturing process, which can also provide a reference for low-frequency transducer design. The simulation results and experimental results of our transducers show a good consistency which indicates the cavity structure can reduce the resonance frequency. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
