The coupling between eddy current and motion in a cantilevered beam is examined. The beam, which provides a simple model for the limiter blades of a tokamak fusion reactor, was subjected to simultaneous orthogonal time-varying and constant magnetic fields. The dynamic deformation of the beam includes two different modes: a bending mode and a torsional mode. Interaction of current with each mode and with the combined modes of vibration in described. Experimental verification of the case without torsional motion was performed with the FELIX facility at ANL. The peak deflection and stresses are much less than those predicted without consideration given to the coupling.
