Project Background:

ITT created a solid-state Eddy Current vibration dampening system for space applications. They developed a prototype that exceeded their analytical model by a factor of 2 and they are unsure of the specific cause.

Problem Statement:

ITT would like a model of a solid-state Eddy Current damping system. They would like a prototype that closely follows the analytical model.

Objectives/Scope:

1. Develop system model that accurately models behavior
2. Develop prototype with space applications in mind
3. Test prototype to compare with model

Deliverables:

• Eddy current dampener prototype

• Analytical system model

• Test fixture

• Documentation to assist future development

Expected Project Benefits:

• Further understand magnetic damping

• Understand the correlation between analytical model and real world application
