Abstract

The magnetic suspension system consisting of a metallic cylindrical shell encircling an alternating-current filament is analyzed by vector field methods for arbitrary relative orientations of shell and current axes. The induced magnetic field and resulting force-torque system, and associated eddy-currents, are calculated for a variety of shell constructions: homogeneous shells, shells with annular hollow space, and shells composed of annular layers of different metals. End effects neglected in the computations are analyzed in a companion paper. The biaxial shell-filament systems treated model the magnetic suspension in ’’disturbance compensation systems’’ for Navy navigational satellites.
