Numerical simulation of its transient response includes simultaneously solving differential equations of magnetic, electrical and mechanical subsystems. The magnetic subsystem is analyzed by finite element method (FEM), while the electrical and mechanical subsystems are modeled separately and mutually coupled. A modified genetic algorithm is programmed in MATLAB software package. The shape optimization has been performed on two-dimensional (2D) axial-symmetric model of electromagnetic actuator. The measurement results obtained after the production and testing of electromagnetic actuator are compared with results of numerical simulation.</p>}, number={03}, journal={The Applied Computational Electromagnetics Society Journal (ACES)}, author={Eduard Plavec and Ivo Uglešić and Mladen Vidović}, year={2021}, month={Jul.}, pages={325–334} }
