Magnetic Equivalent Circuit (MEC) literature?
Magnetic Equivalent Circuit (MEC) literature?
(OP)
Hi,
I'm designing a magnetic spring, which will initially be designed using a MEC model (magnetic reluctance circuitry). Does anyone know any good books or papers about this subject? I found some literature, but the magnetic circuits are only briefly explained, and I need specific information for the permeances in my airgap.....

RE: Magnetic Equivalent Circuit (MEC) literature?
Moskowitz's book Permanent Magnet Design and Application Handbook has some good sections on permeance/reluctance calculations. It also acknowledges Rotor's book Electromagnetic Devices as a source.
Hope this helps,

The problem in my case is, that it's a tubular strucure, with loads of different circular paths, which all should be characterised well.
