Magnetic field and force analysis of high T/sub c/ superconductor with flux flow and creep

This paper describes a new method for the magnetic force analysis of a high T/sub c/ superconductor based on the flux flow and creep model. The introduction of the artificial conductivity, which is used in the conventional method, is not needed. The CPU time requirement of the calculations is considerably lower than that in the case of the conventional method. Thereby the vibration of a levitated permanent magnet was numerically analyzed by taking into account the flux flow and creep.<
