Magnetic Actuators and Sensors Ed 2

A fully updated, easy-to-read guide on magnetic actuators and sensors
The Second Edition of this must-have book for today's engineers includes the latest updates and advances in the field of magnetic actuators and sensors. Magnetic Actuators and Sensors emphasizes computer-aided design techniques―especially magnetic finite element analysis; offers many new sections on topics ranging from magnetic separators to spin valve sensors; and features numerous worked calculations, illustrations, and real-life applications.
To aid readers in building solid, fundamental, theoretical background and design know-how, the book provides in-depth coverage in four parts:
PART I: MAGNETICS
Introduction
Basic Electromagnetics
Reluctance Method
Finite-Element Method
Magnetic Force
Other Magnetic Performance Parameters
PART II: ACTUATORS
