Finite element analysis of the skin effect in current carrying conductors

The current density distribution in a conductor of finite size is affected by the presence of eddy currents in the conductor. This phenomenon, generally known as skin effect, causes ohmic losses in the conductors and alters their magnetic induction. This paper presents an analysis of skin effect phe...

Description
Summary:The current density distribution in a conductor of finite size is affected by the presence of eddy currents in the conductor. This phenomenon, generally known as skin effect, causes ohmic losses in the conductors and alters their magnetic induction. This paper presents an analysis of skin effect phenomena using the triangular finite element method. The results obtained by this method are compared with those of classical one-dimensional analysis for (i) a conductor in free space and (ii) a conductor in the presence of an iron boundary.
