ANALYSIS OF EDDY-CURRENT BRAKES WITH NON-MAGNETIC ROTORS

Theoretical calculation, using a schematic case, of the fields in the air gap for the extremely high rotational speeds at which the inductance reaction cannot be neglected and of flux and torque in relation to speed, followed by application to practical cases.
