There is unbalanced magnetic pull between the rotor and stator of the cage induction motor when the rotor is not concentric with the stator. These forces depend on the position and motion of the center point of the rotor. In this paper, the linearity of the forces in proportion to the rotor eccentricity is studied numerically using time-stepping finite element analysis. The results show that us...

We prove a shape theorem for rotor-router aggregation on the comb, for a specific initial rotor configuration and clockwise rotor sequence for all vertices. Furthermore, as an application of rotor-router walks, we describe the harmonic measure of the rotor-router aggregate and related shapes, which is useful in the study of other growth models on the comb. We also identify the shape for which t...

This paper presents a novel method for the rotor resistance identification of an indirect rotor field oriented (IRFO) control system of a saturated induction motor. A saturated induction motor is an induction motor with a variable (saturable) mutual inductance. Saturation of the mutual inductance appears in operating conditions with variable rotor flux levels in the IRFO control system of an in...

Effective condition monitoring of induction motors requires knowledge of the number of rotor slots and the rotor speed. These were primarily obtained in the literature by multiple measurements and using design knowledge of the motor under test. Furthermore, the earlier studies have mainly concentrated on stator current analysis. This paper investigates the use of the stator current, axial flux,...

Hover performance of a twin-rotor test model in terms of rotor overlap sweep, blade collective pitch, and blade tip speedwasexaminedexperimentally.The experimental setup consisted of two three-bladed rotors (tandem rotor configuration) with a diameter of1,220 mm and constant chord of 38 mm, giving a blade aspect ratio of 16.05. The blades were of a rectangular planform with NACA 0012 cross-sect...

The model for the stator-rotor interaction is discussed in the sections The stator-rotor interaction and The rotor switching dynamics of the main text. The model is based on the model Oster and Blair and coworkers [1, 2] and Meacci and Tu [3], but extended to include the conformational transitions of the rotor protein complex. Here, we discuss aspects of the model that are not discussed in the ...

This paper is the first of a three part report on the transient thermal analysis of screw compressors. Knowledge of rotor-to-housing and rotor-to-rotor clearances is a fundamental first step in defining part dimensions that lead to a design with high efficiency and reliability, characteristics which must be balanced as they impose opposite demands on internal clearances. As reliability and perf...

This paper presents the modeling of a four rotor vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) unmanned air vehicle known as the quad rotor aircraft. The paper presents a new model design method for the flight control of an autonomous quad rotor. The paper describes the controller architecture for the quad rotor as well. The dynamic model of the quad-rotor, which is an under actuated aircraft with fixed...

single-phase squirrel cage and three-phase induction electromotors are the most popular electromotors used in industry from long ago. when an induction motor starts with direct connection method, it takes a lot of current from the power supply (several times the nominal current); so, several methods have been devised to start such electromotors. these methods either reduce the voltage of the st...

A 2005 TRC report presents imbalance response measurements of a hollow test rotor supported on bump-type gas foil bearings. The top speed of the tests is 25 krpm, the limit of the drive router motor. The 2005 measurements show the gas foil bearings are prone to subsynchronous whirl with amplitudes of motion exacerbated by the imbalance condition of the rotor, i.e. a forced nonlinearity. Present...
