  • Abstract
    The present paper is devoted to the modelling of a fast acting linear electromagnetic actuator in which the mechanical and electrical time constants are of the same order of magnitude. The computation of the electromagnetic and the mechanical quantities must then be performed simultaneously. This paper describes the algorithm used to solve both the Maxwell´s equations and the equation of motion.
