Abstract

Utilization of eddy-current braking systems has been on the rise due to their technical advantages. Numerous studies have been performed to analyze the performance of these systems. Such studies demonstrated the effect of different parameters on their performance such as magnetic properties as well as braking speed range. This paper presents a particle swarm optimization evolutionary methodology for nonlinear electromagnetic eddy-current braking systems. Using this methodology, a configuration yielding minimum braking distance for a body decelerating from a given speed may be predicted. Details of the methodology and sample simulation results are given in this paper
