Nonlinear analysis of eddy-current couplings in feedback control systems

A nonlinear analysis is developed for eddy-current couplings in feedback control systems. The analysis makes use of the describing function method to predict transient response. Effects of the nonlinearity are discussed and backed with an analog computer study. Conclusions arrived at show the absq...
