FEM matrix formulation in 2D eddy current analysis

Abstract

The finite element matrix for 2D eddy current analysis using eight node quadrilateral isoparametric finite elements is presented. Special attention is taken to the formulation of the finite element matrix for conductors in the quasi-stationary field regarding applied boundary conditions and conductors topology in the field.
