Abstract
This thesis presents the results of(a) an experimental verification of Davies: generalised analysis of eddy-current coupling performance.
and (b) a comparison of the performance of a coupling fitted with a solid iron drum and an iron drum fitted with copper endrings as a practical attempt to approximate the idealised condition of endrings of negligible resistance. For (a), the coupling was comprehensively tested with the copper endring drum. Full details of the tests, together with their analysis and comparison with Davies' generalised analysis, are given.
An attempt is made to assess the effects of the end-regions of the solid iron drum on the coupling's performance, This assessment is based on a comparison of test results for the endring drum with those for a solid iron drum, Gibbs! analysis of the end-region is compared with test results and a simpler alternative analysis of the end-region is also presented,
