In this paper the equivalent sources methods, written in terms both of the actual and of the external field, are used for the computation of the total force in two-dimensional axisymmetric problems. A Finite Element modeling of the magnetizing currents as field sources is presented in order to improve the formulations using the external field. The numerical accuracy of all the proposed formulae is thoroughly checked on linear and nonlinear test examples.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
