S. Noguchi et A. Ishiyama, AN OPTIMAL-DESIGN METHOD FOR HIGHLY HOMOGENEOUS AND HIGH-FIELD SUPERCONDUCTING MAGNETS, IEEE transactions on magnetics, 32(4), 1996, pp. 2655-2658
Highly homogeneous and high-field superconducting magnets are difficul
t to be designed for its optimal configuration, which has the minimum
winding volume. In this paper, we proposed an optimal design method, u
tilizing a modified Genetic algorithm, which is newly developed, to re
alize the minimum winding volume design for multi-section superconduct
ing magnets. The detail of the algorithm and two examples of its appli
cation to three-section superconducting magnets are shown.
