Physics of Electric Discharges in Atmospheric Gases: An Informal Introduction

development and implementation of an optimized control strategy for induction machine in an electric vehicle

in the area of automotive engineering there is a tendency to more electrification of power train. in this work control of an induction machine for the application of electric vehicle is investigated. through the changing operating point of the machine, adapting the rotor magnetization current seems to be useful to increase the machines efficiency. in the literature there are many approaches wh...

Electro-Hydrodynamics of Micro-Discharges in Gases at Atmospheric Pressure

: metadiscourse in introduction sections of applied linguistics and physics research articles: exploring variation in frequency and type

abstract in written mode of language, metadiscourse markers are used commonly to help writers in general and academic writers in particular to produce coherent and professional texts. the purpose of the present study was to compare introduction sections of applied linguistics and physics articles regarding their use of interactive and interactional metadiscourse markers based on the model pro...

Pattern Formation in Electric Discharges

Electric discharges with low current densities can be described by a minimal model of reaction, drift and diffusion of two charged species coupled nonlinearly to an externally imposed electric field. The intrinsic ionization–field–coupling of the model leads to pattern formation both in stationary or periodically driven barrier discharges and in transient streamer discharges. In particular, we ...

Physics of Failure: an Introduction

The physics of failure (POF) is an approach to designing reliable products to avoid failure, based on the knowledge of root cause failure mechanisms. It is based on failure reliability technology that studies the failure regularities from the failure reasons and failure mechanisms of the products. A clear understanding of the physics-of-failure is necessary in applications that afford little op...
