Electromagnetic Disc Braking with Smart Assistant
Abstract: Electro-mechanical disc brakes are electrically actuated, yet mechanically transmit torque. The magnetic flux attracts the armature to the face of the brake when power is applied to the coil of an electromagnet. It squeezes the inner and outer friction discs together as it does so. The design of an electromagnetic disc brake requires a multidisciplinary approach. Its performance is an outcome of the usage of concepts from various fields, viz. …

Design and Development of an Electromagnetic Propulsion Train
Abstract: The recent advancement of new transportation techniques led to the search for methods of propulsion that were superior to classical mechanical systems. Among these new moments, electromagnetic propulsion (EMP) has attracted attention because this technique allows for motion generation via electromagnetic force without using conventional wheel-based friction processing. The paper describes the conceptual design, principle of working and performance evaluation of a prototype model train to be propelled electromagnetically.The system, …
