Comprehensive Parametric Study for Design Improvement of a Low-Speed AFPMSG for Small Scale Wind-Turbines

In this paper, a comprehensive parametric analysis for an axial-flux permanent magnet synchronous generator (AFPMSG), designed to operate in a small-scale wind-power applications, is presented, and the condition for maximum efficiency, minimum weight and minimum cost is deduced. Then a Computer-Aided Design (CAD) procedure based on the results of parametric study is proposed. Matching between t...

Role of Fire Field Models as a Design Tool for Performance- Based Fire-code Implementation

The worldwide movement from prescription-based to performance-based fire codes is unmistakable and irreversible. In the implementation of such performance-based fire codes, both basic and innovative engineering design tools are needed to analyze potential fire scenarios for relative fire hazards and risk assessment. Among such innovative design tools are fire models, particularly the fire field...

Large-Scale Reliability Based Design Optimization For Vehicle Crash Safety

The focus of this paper is on a large-scale reliability based design optimization of a car body structure for crash safety. The application of multidisciplinary design optimization (MDO) to automotive vehicle structure design has been an interest topic over the past several years (Yang et al. 1994, Schramm et al. 1999). Sobieski et al. (2000) and Kodiyalam et al. (2001) reported a method with v...
