Stabilization of electrodynamic bearings with active magnetic dampers

Qingwen Cui

Electrodynamic Bearings (EDBs) are a kind of passive magnetic bearings that exploits the interaction between the induced eddy currents in a conductor and a magnetic field to provide re-storing forces. They have been regarded as an appealing alternative to ...

A probabilistic approach is necessary to estimate the magnitude of the braking force that compares in terms of return period with the vertical traffic loads present in bridge design codes. A data set from a Danish Field Operational Test served as support t ...

Characterization of Surface Cracks Through The Local Magnetic Field Induced by Eddy Currents

Hannes Bleuler, Marco Picasso, Pavel Kejik, Roland Moser, Gilles Raphaël Santi, David Florian Hippert

It is important to reliably characterize cracks in metallic mechanical parts in order to assess the serenity of damage due to fatigue. The most important parameter for this is the crack depth. This is notoriously difficult with standard Eddy current techni ...

Robust and Efficient 3D Model of an Electromagnetic Induction (EMI) Sensor

Yves Perriard, Chafic Abu Antoun

Eddy current induction is used in a wide range of electronic devices, for example in detection sensors. Due to the advances in computer hardware and software, the need for 3D computation and system comprehension is a requirement to develop and optimize suc ...

The High-Resolution Magnetic Camera: A Novel Sensor for Eddy Current Testing

Hannes Bleuler, Marco Picasso, Pavel Kejik, Roland Moser, Gilles Raphaël Santi, David Florian Hippert

Eddy current techniques are often used to detect and, in some advanced applications, to characterize fatigue surface-breaking cracks appearing in mechanical parts. One of the major difficulties in this approach is to reliably separate the crack contributio ...

Application of lower hybrid range of frequencies (LHRF) waves can induce both co- and counter-current directed changes in toroidal rotation in Alcator C-Mod plasmas, depending on the target plasma current, electron density, confinement regime and magnetic ...

This paper compares different cascaded and multilevel topologies to interface supercapacitors to a dc bus in regenerative braking applications. It is shown that the modular multilevel dc/dc converter (MMC) can benefit from both reduced voltage and increase ...

2013

Due to technological limitations robot actuators are often designed for specific tasks with narrow performance goals, whereas a wide range of output and behaviours is necessary for robots to operate autonomously in uncertain complex environments. We presen ...

Multilevel two quadrant DC/DC converter for regenerative braking in mobile applications

Alfred Rufer, Daniel Montesinos Miracle

In this paper different cascaded and multilevel topologies are compared for regenerative braking systems using supercapacitors (SC). It shows that the multilevel buck derived topology can beneficiate from both reduced voltage across the inductor and increa ...

Slotless Permanent-Magnet Machines: General Analytical Magnetic Field Calculation

Yves Perriard, Pierre-Daniel Pfister

This paper presents a general analytical model for predicting the magnetic field of slotless permanent-magnet machines. The model takes into account the effect of eddy currents in conductive regions and notably in conductive permanent magnets without negle ...
