Abstract
Purpose
This paper aims to investigate the magnetostrictive phenomenon in a single electrical steel sheet, which may cause vibration and noise in the cores of transformers and induction motors. A measurement system of magnetostriction is created and the principal strain of magnetostriction is modeled. Furthermore, the magnetostriction property along arbitrary alternating magnetization directions is modeled.
Design/methodology/approach
A measurement system with a triaxial strain gauge is developed to obtain the magnetostrictive waveform, and the principal strain is computed in terms of the in-plane strain formula. A three-layer feed-forward neural network model is proposed to model the measured magnetostriction property of the electrical steel sheet.
Findings
The principal strain of magnetostriction of the non-oriented electrical steel has strong anisotropy. The proposed estimation model can be effectively used to model the anisotropic magnetostriction with an acceptable prediction time.
Originality/value
This paper develops the neural network combined with fast Fourier transform (FFT) to model the principal strain property of magnetostriction under alternating magnetizations, and its validation has been verified.

Abstract
Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to propose a multi-objective optimization algorithm, which can improve both the performance robustness and the constraint feasibility when the uncertainty in design variables is considered.
Design/methodology/approach
Multi-objective robust optimization by gradient index combined with the reliability-based design optimization (RBDO).
Findings
It is shown that searching for the optimal design of the TEAM problem 22, which can minimize the magnetic stray field by keeping the target system energy (180 MJ) and improve the feasibility of superconductivity constraint (quenching condition), is possible by using the proposed method.
Originality/value
RBDO method applied to the electromagnetic problem cooperated with the design sensitivity analysis by the finite element method.
