Transient eddy currents in thin metal sheets

In the present paper, an approach is outlined to the solution of the transient eddy currents produced upon field switching in a thin nonmagnetic metal layer. The results may be used in evaluating the distribution of the transient volume force densities acting on the metal. Some of the fields in which problems of this kind arise are power equipment shielding, nondestructive eddy current test instrumentation, and magnetic levitation.
