A study of the brush/rotor interface of a homopolar motor using acoustic emission
نویسندگان
چکیده
Acoustic emission transducers were used to study the brush/rotor interface of a homopolar motor as a function of design parameters such as speed and load. The results indicate that acoustic emission is well suited for in situ monitoring of brush wear and rotor conditions, and for analyzing the tribological phenomena occurring at the brush/rotor interface. r 2007 Elsevier Ltd.

In-Situ Monitoring of the Brush/Rotor Interface in a Homopolar Motor with Acoustic Emission
Homopolar motors have been proposed as an alternative propulsion means for ships. Such motors operate in a very harsh and demanding environment, making in-situ diagnostics and faultmonitoring systems a key issue for extended operation. In a typical homopolar motor, several thousand brushes are used, which are all in sliding contact with a copper rotor at a velocity of about 10 m/s. Wear and deg...
متن کاملStudy of the Frictional Surface Damage Using Acoustic Emission Method
In this study, the change at rubbing surfaces has been investigated experimentally using an acoustic emission signal monitoring system. A steel ring is slipped on the surface of a metallic sheet to simulate frictional conditions. The mechanical disturbances caused by the movement of the ring produce stress waves propagating along the sheet surface. The out of plane displacement of the sheet su...
متن کاملAn Acoustic Study of Emotivity-Prosody Interface in Persian Speech Using the Tilt Model
This paper aims to explore some acoustic properties (i.e. duration and pitch amplitude of speech) associated with three different emotions: anger, sadness and joy against neutrality as a reference point, all being intentionally expressed by six Persian speakers. The primary purpose of this study is to find out if there is any correspondence between the given emotions and prosody patterning in P...
متن کاملPerformance Improvement of a Slotted Solid Rotor Induction Motor with High Temperature Superconder Coating
This paper analyzes an induction motor with high temperature superconducter (HTS) coated slotted solid rotor. By slotting the solid rotor, the electromagnetic torque near synchronous speed will increase but the starting torque will decrease. To improve starting torque, rotor slots are coated with HTS materials. Using HTS material vary the rotor resistance to great extends in starting step and t...
متن کاملA New Switched Reluctance Motor Design to Reduce Torque Ripple using Finite Element Fuzzy Optimization
This paper presents a new design to reduce torque ripple in Switched Reluctance Motors (SRM). Although SRM possesses many advantages in terms of motor structure, it suffers from large torque ripple that causes problems such as vibration and acoustic noise. The paper describes new rotor and stator pole shapes with a non-uniform air gap profile to reduce torque ripple while retaining its average ...
