Multi-hazard resistant steel plate shear wall bridge pier concept

Bridges are built in a variety of locations, many of which are susceptible to multiple extreme hazards (earthquakes, vehicle collisions, tsunamis or storm surges, and blasts are considered in this research since they are present as a minimum for some locations). This underscores the need to develop an innovative design concept for bridges from a multi-hazard perspective in which all hazards and...

The New Bridge Converter Control Method

The article describes a new control method of transistor power bridge converter. It is a new one, because of some original solutions and its difference in comparison to existing methods. It’s irrelevant of load, similar to the “phase shifted” control method. It is easy to realize using ordinary electronic elements. A significant advantage of method is the possibility of permanent output current...
