1. 1. Simulation, design and experimental validation of a passive magnetic damper for ultra-fast actuators

   University essay from KTH/Elektroteknisk teori och konstruktion

   Author : Chen Chen; [2014]
   Keywords : Damping; Thomson actuator; eddy currents; magnets; ferromagnetic materials;

   Abstract : A contact system driven by a high energetic Thomson actuator requires to be decelerated from full speed down to zero. The forces originated from the interaction between a stationary copper tube and a moving array of magnets combined with plastic or ferromagnetic material are used to generate eddy-current damping.

3. 2. Modeling and Optimizing Ultra-fast Thomson-type Actuators for Electrical Switches

   University essay from Blekinge Tekniska Högskola/Sektionen för ingenjörsvetenskap

   Author : Mohammadali Honarpardaz; [2011]
   Keywords : Thomson Coil; Ultra-fast Actuators; Circuit Breakers; Multi objective Optimization; Electromagnetic Force; Finite Element Method; COMSOL Multiphysics.;

   Abstract : In order to obtain an ultra-fast actuator functionality in mechanical switching mechanisms, Thomson-type coils (TC) can be a suitable choice to be employed, with the ability to exert massive forces in short time. In this Master thesis, a practical Thomson coil was designed and simulated with finite element methods to present features and the performance of TC-type actuators, primarily from the mechanical aspects.
