damping property of eddy current damper are further studied us-
ing the FEA method.
3.1 Prototype Description. From Eq. 共6兲, we see that the
damping coefficient is proportional to the square of the magnetic
flux density B, so it is critical to have a large flux density B, which
we achieve by choosing high-intensity rare-earth magnets and by
designing low reluctance magnetic loops.

5 Conclusion
In this paper, we describe the design and analysis of a new type
of eddy current damper with remarkably high damping density.
We split the magnetic field and arrange the poles in an alternating
pattern so as to shorten the eddy current loops and thus increase
the damping. An analytical model of the induced eddy current
damping is proposed based on electromagnetic theory. Finite-
element analysis is used to calculate the magnetic field and eddy
current density. Experiments are conducted and the results are
compared with the analytical prediction and FEA computation.
We experimentally demonstrate that the proposed new type of
eddy current damper achieves significantly high efficiency and
compactness with a damping density and dimensionless damping

experiments also indicate that the damping coefficients decrease
