Cal ulation of eddy urrents with edge elements on non-mat hing grids in moving stru tures F. Rapetti, F. Bouillault, L. Santandrea, A. Bua, Y. Maday, A. Razek (IEEE Fellow) Abstra t|In this paper we present a non- onforming non-overlapping domain de omposition method to approximate the eddy urrent problem, formulated in terms of the ele tri eld variable, in non-stationary stru tures. This approximation, that allows for non-mat hing grids at the sliding interfa e, is based on the mortar element method ombined with edge elements in spa e and nite dieren es in time. Numeri al results illustrate how the method works and the in uen e of the free part movement on the ele tri eld distribution.

Introdu tion T HE omputation of the spa e and time distribution of indu ed urrents in ele tromagneti systems is of great importan e for performan e predi tions and devi es design. One important aspe t to be taken into a ount is the presen e of moving stru tures.
