Based on astrometry from an orbit derived byHubble Space Telescope imagery, Charon’s orbital eccentricity has been reported to be in the range of 0.003–0.008. Solar and planetary tides are orders of magnitude too small to induce the reported eccentricity. This nonzero value, if correct, therefore indicates some significant forcing against the two-body tidal equilibrium value, which should forma...

The metal processing system usually consists of various components such like motors, work rolls, backup rolls, idle rolls, sensors, etc. Even a simple fault in a single component in the system may cause a serious damage on the final product. It is therefore necessary to diagnose the faults of the components to detect and prevent system failure. Especially, the defects in a work roll are critica...

We survey the literature on the eccentricity sequence of a connected graph and make the following contribution. The eccentricity sequence of a graph G is the list of its eccentricities in non-increasing order. Two graphs G1 and G2 are co-eccentric when they have the same eccentricity sequence. Then, we say that G1 and G2 are co-eccentric mates. We characterize the eccentricity sequence of almos...

This paper deals with the finite element analysis and experimental study concerning the influence of the broken bar and rotor dynamic eccentricity faults on the magnetic field outside a squirrel-cage induction motor. The spatial distribution of the magnetic field, the time variation of the magnetic flux density at a point outside the machine and the time variation of the electromotive force del...

Two of the most common defects in rotating systems are abnormal wear of the bearing bushing and bearing misalignment. The present paper introduces a new fault diagnosis model that uses artificial neural networks (ANN) in order to identify the increase of wear depth and/or the increment of the misalignment angle. Reynolds equation is solved by FEM and provides data about bearing wear and misalig...

Eccentricity-dependent resolution losses are sometimes compensated for in psychophysical experiments by magnifying (scaling) stimuli at each eccentricity. The use of either pre-selected scaling factors or unscaled stimuli sometimes leads to non-monotonic changes in performance as a function of eccentricity. We argue that such non-monotonic changes arise when performance is limited by more than ...

The eccentricity of a vertex is the maximum distance from it to another vertex and the average eccentricity ecc(G) of a graph G is the mean value of eccentricities of all vertices of G. The average eccentricity is deeply connected with a topological descriptor called the eccentric connectivity index, defined as a sum of products of vertex degrees and eccentricities. In this paper we analyze ext...

This article investigates the neutral voltage difference signal, VNO for fault diagnosis. The aforementioned signal is of between common star point stator and load. under-study faults are demagnetization static eccentricity faults, while machine in which investigated an axial flux permanent magnet (AFPM) synchronous generator, suitable wind power applications. study was conducted using a 3D fin...
