Hybrid Excitation Eddy Current Braking: Torque Calculation Using EMWorks2D Inside SOLIDWORKS

Eddy current brakes are based on the braking torques (forces) generated by induced Eddy Currents inside an electrical conductor by electromagnetic induction. Stationary electric conductor immerged inside a time-varying magnetic flux and/ or a moving electrical conductor inside a static magnetic flux will lead to the creation of eddy currents in this conductor.
