Abstract: The interest in eddy current dampers is increasing especially in aeronautic and automotive industry. Such devices seem to be a valid alternative to conventional fluid film and viscoelastc dampers. ...

Abstract: Eddy current dampers are promising for the passive and semiactive vibration control of mechanical structures. Among them, the “motional” types are based on Lorentz forces between a moving conductor ...

Abstract: Multiribbed serpentine belt drive systems are widely adopted in accessory drive automotive applications due to the better performances relative to the flat or V-belt drives. Nevertheless, they ...

Abstract: A new model of electrodynamic bearings is presented in this paper. The model takes into account the R-L dynamics of the eddy currents on which this type of bearing is based, making it valid ...

Abstract: The aim of this paper is to investigate the potential of a self-sensing strategy in the case of an electromagnetic damper for the vibration control of flexible structures and rotors. The study ...

Abstract: Electrodynamic bearings are a kind of passive magnetic bearings based on eddy currents that develop between a rotating conductor and a static magnetic field. Relative to active magnetic bearings, ...

Abstract: The vibration control of rotors for gas or steam turbines is usually performed using passive dampers when hydrodynamic bearings are not used. In layouts where the rotating parts are supported ...
