Description of TEAM Workshop Problem 28: An Electrodynamic Levitation Device
نویسندگان
چکیده
|This paper presents a new TEAM workshop problem taking into account moving bodies. An electrodynamic levitation device which consists of a conducting plate over two exciting coils shall be examined. The aim is to determine the dynamic characteristics of the levitating plate. A coupled solution of the electromagnetic and the mechanical problem is necessary for that.

An overlapping mortar element approach to coupled magneto-mechanical problems
This paper presents a finite element approach with moving non-matching overlapping grids to solve coupled magneto-mechanical problems. As an example of application, we consider the team workshop problem 28 for an electrodynamic levitation device. The connection between the background mesh including the two exciting coils and the foreground mesh of the conducting plate is established by using a ...
متن کاملModel of the Electromagnetic Levitation Device
1. Introduction From the principal point of view, the magnetic levitation is a method which is used for suspending an object in the air, without any physical contact. There are few main types of the magnetic levitation – electromagnetic, electrodynamic, transformation, superconductive and diamagnetic. All these are usually based on the force interaction between magnetic field and gravitation fi...
متن کاملTest and theory of electrodynamic bearings coupled to active magnetic dampers
Electrodynamic bearings (EDBs) are passive magnetic bearings that exploit the interaction between eddy currents developed in a rotating conductor and a static magnetic field to generate forces. Similar to other types of magnetic suspensions, EDBs provide contactless support, thus avoiding problems with lubrication, friction and wear. Electrodynamic bearings have also drawbacks such as the diffi...
متن کاملPOD-based reduced-order model of an eddy-current levitation problem
The accurate and efficient treatment of eddy-current problems with movement is still a challenge. Very few works applying reduced-order models are available in the literature. In this paper, we propose a proper-orthogonal-decomposition reduced-ordermodel to handle these kind of motional problems. A classical magnetodynamic finite element formulation based on the magnetic vector potential is use...
متن کاملElectrodynamic magnetic suspension-models, scaling laws, and experimental results
A simple experiment illustrating the principles of electrodynamic magnetic suspension is described and test results are given. A disk-shaped coil made of insulated copper magnet wire and energized with 60-Hz ac line voltage is levitated in a stable equilibrium position above a wide aluminum plate. The mechanisms generating levitation force are identified by the use of Maxwell’s equations. A lum...
