Abstract

In the eddy current braking system of high-speed maglev, the peak braking force and the critical speed are key factors determining the performance of eddy current braking force. In this paper, the analytical formula of eddy current braking force is derived by a subdomain method considering the skin effect of the induction plate, and, subsequently, the characteristics of peak braking force and critical speed are analyzed. The analytical model is set up in a 2D Cartesian coordinate system. The Poisson equations in each subdomain are listed by treating the vector magnetic potential as a variable. By combining the boundary conditions between two adjacent subdomains, the expressions of eddy current density and magnetic density in the induction plate are obtained. Then, the analytical formula of the eddy current braking force is obtained by the Ampere force formula. The results of finite-element analysis confirm the validity of the analytical calculation. The methods of improving the performance of eddy current braking force under high speed are proposed by parametric analysis of peak braking force and critical speed, which provides guidance for the design of the eddy current braking system in high-speed maglev.
