- Abstract
- Forces due to induced current can play a significant role in the behavior of electromagnetic devices. In some case these forces produce a useful effect, like in induction motors, whereas in others they involve non-desired phenomena, like instabilities in magnetic bearings. This paper set out to compute theses forces, first in a simple case, and second on a semi-passive magnetic bearing. Through these two examples, we show the influence of the skin effect on the magnetic field distribution in a conducting part and on the way of modeling these elements by replacing volume currents by equivalent surface currents density in COMSOL software. Finally, modeling results are compared to experimental measurements.
