Abstract: Several schemes have recently been proposed for achieving either fault tolerance or self-sensing in magnetic bearings. The present work describes the fundamental connection between ability to ...

Abstract: The physical hardware of magnetic bearing systems has a very strong impact on the application of sliding mode control to this technology. Finite current slew rates affect the character of ...

Abstract: Magnetic bearings are subject to performance limits which are quite different from those of conventional bearings. These are due in part to the inherent nonlinearity of the device and in part ...
