Design and Analysis of a New Dual-Stator Hybrid Magnet Flux Modulation Machine

This paper proposes a new dual-stator hybrid-magnet flux modulation machine (DS-FMHMM) for direct-drive applications, which employs NdFeB magnet excitation and Ferrite magnet excitation on the rotor and outer stator sides, respectively. Wit...

Nuclear Engineering in a Package

A FULLY EQUIPPED ATOMIC LABORATORY with instructions and experiments make up Nuclear-Chicago's new "packaged" nuclear engineering program for coDeges. First reactor from its production line will be installed at Northwestern University, Evan...

Thermohydraulics of two-phase systems for industrial design and nuclear engineering

COMPUTATIONAL INTELLIGENCE IN NUCLEAR ENGINEERING

Approaches to several recent issues in the operation of nuclear power plants using computational intelligence are discussed. These issues include 1) noise analysis techniques, 2) on-line monitoring and sensor validation, 3) regularization o...

Three-dimensional structure and formation mechanisms of Y2O3 hollow-precipitates in a Cu-based metallic glass

Recently, the high ductility of Cu-based bulk metallic glasses (BMGs) has been directly linked to the presence of Y2O3 precipitates, and surrounding crystallized areas. Nevertheless, the formation of the precipitates remains to be defined. ...

ATIB: Design and Evaluation of an Architecture for Brokered Self-Sovereign Identity Integration and Trust-Enhancing Attribute Aggregation for Service Provider

Identity management is a principle component of securing online services. In the advancement of traditional identity management patterns, the identity provider remained a Trusted Third Party (TTP). The service provider and the user need to ...

A new insight on the diffusion growth mechanism of intermetallic compounds in Al-Er system

The diffusion growth of intermetallic compounds in Al-Er alloys are closely related to the properties of the alloys. The current work aims at explaining the dominance of Al3Er in the Al-Er alloys precipitation phases and the interface thin ...

Critical thickness of GaN film in controllable stress-induced self-separation for preparing native GaN substrates

Stress-induced self-separation is one of the most efficient process for preparing native GaN substrate. The control of GaN film thickness is the key point for GaN film separating from substrate completely. Considering the bowing of bilayer,...

Graph Theory-Based Approach to Accomplish Complete Coverage Path Planning Tasks for Reconfigurable Robots

Extensive studies regarding complete coverage problems have been conducted, but a few tackle scenarios where the mobile robot is equipped with reconfigurable modules. The reconfigurability of these robots creates opportunities to develop ne...

Reducing Torque Ripple Through Innovative Configuration of Permanent Magnet Based on Air Gap Field Modulation Theory in a Novel Axial Flux Reversal Permanent Magnet Machine

In this paper, a novel axial flux reversal permanent magnet (PM) (AFRPM) machine, which combines the merit of the axial flux PM (AFPM) machine and flux reversal PM machine, is proposed. Meanwhile, according to the characteristics of the mac...

Delay-Dependent H∞ Control for Singular Markovian Jump Systems With Generally Uncertain Transition Rates

This article is devoted to the problem of H control for a class of singular Markovian jump systems with time-varying delay and generally uncertain transition rates, which means each transition rate is completely unknown or only its estimate...

Improving die tooling properties by spraying TiC-Ti-Al and TiB2-Ti-Al electro-explosive coatings

This article describes increasing wear resistance of 5CrNiMo die steel by more than 5 times. This effect is achieved by creating TiC-Ti-Al and TiB _2 -Ti-Al coatings on the surface of 5CrNiMo die steel. The microhardness of the formed coati...
