Abstract :
This study presents the design of a linear composite magnetic damper based on a magnet array that induces eddy currents in a composite metal tube resulting in an efficient braking response. A finite element method is employed for design optimization. Experimental measurements of the armature and damper velocities are performed to validate the simulation results.
