APPLICATION OF FINITE ELEMENT MODELLING IN LVDT DESIGN

Abstract

Application of finite‐element modelling of magnetic fields in a linear variable differential transformer (LVDT) is demonstrated and electromagnetics of such devices briefly discussed. A finite‐element aided design of a particular LVDT, built and tested at USITT, Southampton, is used to illustrate practical aspects of such modelling.
