telemedicine has changed the way of health care. it is an indispensable tool in the hands of doctors to accelerate and facilitate the process of data interchange. wireless networks consist of small nodes with communications capabilities. development of wireless networks of telemedicine system is highly demanded since these networks promise a wide range of potential applications. in this paper t...

CORDIC algorithm is used for calculation of complex functions in signal processing and wireless communication applications. These functions are the combination of sine and cosine terms that are linked to complex analysis. Pipeline architectures are used in CORDIC algorithm to reduce the critical path, increases the clock speed. An angle recoding method is used to reduce the latency and obtain t...

The paper proposes a mechanical model of SFD-sliding bearing flexible rotor system, employing RungeKutta method to tackle nonlinear differential equation, thus acquiring the dynamic response and the unbalanced response curve. Results obtained show the route of flexible rotor system from stable periodic motion to chaos state is: periodic motion—quasi-periodic motion—chaos —period doubling bifurc...

A critical speed controller for avoiding a certain rotational speed is presented. The controller is useful for variable speed wind turbines with a natural frequency in the operating range. The controller has been simulated, implemented and tested on an open site 12 kW vertical axis wind turbine prototype. The controller is based on an adaptation of the optimum torque control. Two lookup tables ...

In design and fabricate drive shafts with high value of fundamental natural frequency that represented high value of critical speed; using composite materials instead of typical metallic materials could provide longer length shafts with lighter weight. In this paper, multi-objective optimization (MOP) of a composite drive shaft is performed considering three conflicting objectives: fundamental ...

When trains run on soft ground, large deflections of the track and vibration of the ground can occur when the train speed approaches the speed of Rayleigh waves in the ground. Modelling is helpful to understand and mitigate such critical velocity effects. Here, a three-dimensional time-domain model of a load moving on a track and ground has been developed in the finite element software ABAQUS. ...

How should a vehicle he driven to minimise fuel consumption? In this paper we consider the case where a train is to be driven along a straight, level track, but where speed limits may apply over parts of the track. The journey is to be completed within a specified time using as little fuel as possible. For a journey without speed limits, the optimal driving strategy typically requires full powe...
