Optimal Design of Linear Oscillatory Actuator with Active Vibration Absorber

Abstract

In this paper, the modified optimal design method is suggested, in which the simple dynamic analysis method is coupled with Genetic Algorithm (GA). The motion analysis of the Linear Oscillatory Actuator (LOA) is coupled with the magnetic field analysis using the finite element method (FEM). This method is applied to the unique LOA with the active vibration absorber to obtain the maximum amplitude and the least vibration. The computed results are compared with the results of both usual analysis method and the measurement. The usefulness of this method is confirmed in analysis accuracy.
