Inspection reliability of small-scale defects, targeting dimensions below 100 µm, is crucial for
structural safety of critical components in high-value applications. Early defects are often …

We describe the design of an eddy current brake for use as programmable viscous damper
for haptic interfaces. Unlike other types of programmable brakes, eddy current brakes can …

A Tesla disc turbine and a flexible test rig have been designed and manufactured, and
experimental results are presented. An analysis of the performance and efficiency of the disc …

This paper proposes a novel permanent magnet retarder (PMR) structure that uses water
cooling to improve the braking performance of conventional PMR for heavy vehicles. A finite …

This paper deals with a review of eddy current brakes (ECBs) on working principles and
technology evolution. Only rotational types of ECBs are investigated in this study. Linear …

Yaw stability of an automotive vehicle in a steering maneuver is critical to the overall safety
of the vehicle. In this paper we present a theoretical development and experimental results …

This paper deals with analytical model extraction and also optimization of the double-sided
PM axial eddy-current couplers, which are one of the best-known couplers used in dynamic …

This paper presents a nonlinear sliding-mode-type controller for slip regulation in a braking
event for an electromagnetic brake-by-wire (BBW)-system-equipped automobile. The …

Analytical approaches could be very useful in the design and analysis of electromagnetic
devices. This paper is concerned with the design and analysis of an axial-flux wound …

A self-excited induction generator (SEIG) can be a candidate for isolated applications
because it does not require any external exciting power but can independently generate …
