INTRINSIC DAMPING IN BASIC MAGNETIC LEVITATION SYSTEMS WITH A CONTINUOUS SHEET TRACK

Previous work on basic magnetic levitation systems is extended to analyze vertical and lateral intrinsic damping in these systems under the assumption that quasi-static forces remain essentially unchanged in dynamic situations caused by small vertical and/or transverse perturbations. The analysis shows that the intrinsic damping is quite small.
