In this system, different damping coefficients, in which values are computed based on the adaptive percentage-varying factor, are electronically switched at different points within the predefined oscillating quadrants. An analytical model of the switching damping device is presented, and the predictive results indicate that a reasonable large range of frequency shifts can be achieved for the proposed output resistances. The outputs for a range of values of internal coil resistance and electromotive force (emf) constant are recorded, and for the proposed system, the frequency can be shifted up to range of +19.50 to â��81.46 away from the initial resonance. © Springer International Publishing Switzerland 2016. %Z cited By 1; Conference of 2nd Applied Electromagnetic International Conference, APPEIC 2015 ; Conference Date: 3 December 2015 Through 5 December 2015; Conference Code:178339
