The purpose of this paper is to use a new rational approach for the design of some magnetic couplings. Our method is based on the association of analytical models and an exact global optimization algorithm named IBBA and developed by the third author. The analytical model presented in this paper is more sophisticated than those previously dealt using IBBA. Therefore, some under and over estimating functions have been constructed for those particular problems of design in order to improve the convergence of IBBA. Some optimal results highlight the efficiency of this approach.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
