چکیده

Properly fabricated polymer gels exhibit an abrupt change in volume in response to a small change in an environmental parameter, such as temperature. We have developed gels that change in volume in response to an applied alternating magnetic field, and we are working to apply these gels as actuators. This paper describes power electronic circuits suitable for electromagnetic activation of these polymer gels. Issues in the selection of circuit topologies for this application are discussed. Experimental results are presented, which demonstrate magnetic activation of gels using prototype power electronic drives.

Closed-Loop Feedback Control of Magnetically-Activated Gels

Polymer gels that exhibit a change in volume in response to a small change in an environmental parameter such as temperature have been fabricated and studied for several decades. We have developed gels that change volume in response to an applied alternating magnetic field. These gels could serve as actuators in servomechanisms. This paper presents practical techniques for using closed-loop fee...

SiC versus Si - Evaluation of Potentials for Performance Improvement of Inverter and DC-DC Converter Systems by SiC Power Semiconductors

Switching devices based on wide bandgap materials such as silicon carbide (SiC) offer a significant performance improvement on the switch level (specific on resistance, etc.) compared with Si devices. Well-known examples are SiC diodes employed, for example, in inverter drives with high switching frequencies. In this paper, the impact on the system-level performance, i.e., efficiency, power den...
