ZnO nanowires, among other peizoelectric nanostructures, have been frequently applied to realize nanogenerators (NGs). However, it has been recently shown that ZnO nanosheets have higher mechanical strength than the nanowires, which entitles them as another candidate in this field of application. In this paper, we rep…

Rotor eddy-current loss calculation by means of 3D finite element analysis is often necessary during later design stages of a new machine, but can still be very time-consuming. This paper proposes two FEM-based methods that potentially require less time to solve than a transient model of the complete machine geometry…

The interior permanent magnet motor is the central component of modern high performance hybrid electric vehicles. During the vehicle's normal operation, demagnetization can occur in the magnets due to temperature rise and high current loading, which could change the IPM's electrical and mechanical characteristic and t…

In this paper, a spoke-type IPM motor (buried with circumferentially magnetized magnets) with fractional-slot concentrated windings is designed to block the two-pole sub-harmonic and, thus, reduce the iron core losses and torque ripple. This is demonstrated by the comparison of a conventional V-type IPM configuration…

Hot compressive deformation and cracking behaviors of cast 21-4N steel were investigated over a temperature range between 900°C~1250°C. The strength of the specimen at the outer surface of ingot is greater than that in the inner part because of the initial rapid solidification and corresponding fine structure at the o…

The reaction kinetics of esterification-hydrolysis in the n -propanol + acetic acid + n -propyl acetate + water system is considered. The phase state of the reaction mixture-homogeneous or two-phase-can change in the course of reaction due to the occurrence of a splitting region. For the analysis of the behavior of th…
