surface roughness is one of the most important parameters that plays very critical role in determining the quality of engineering components. a good surface quality resulting in improve of fatigue strength, corrosion and wear resistance of the workpiece. on the other hand, increasing cutting speed and decreasing time of machining are desirable for manufacturers in order to reduce costs and incr...

performing fast and accurate methods for modeling the electrical machines has been the subject of several studies and many authors proposed different procedures to attain this aim. beside the accuracy, the speed of the method is of great concern. on the other hand, the capability of the method to be changed according to the need is another important issue. finite element method provides relativ...

This paper proposes a minimal switching multiple input multilevel output (MS-MIMLO) DC-DC converter. Minimizing the cost of operation is an utmost priority any electric circuit design. Thus, reduction number switches that control and manage feeding power into MIMLO convertors presented. The proposed MS-MIMLO converter exerts many advantages, include high voltage transfer ratio with small size i...

generally, the failure rate and the repair time of system components are constant parameters in reliability assessment of electric distribution systems. a failure of component is resulted from failing in the operation or overloading. in addition, there exist cases where, the repair times of components are small and tolerable from customer point of view. thus, tolerable repair times may be overl...

electric power industry have always try to provide reliable electricity to customers and at the same time decrease system costs. high voltage circuit-breakers are an essential part of the power network. this study has developed a maintenance and replacement scheduling model for high voltage circuit- breakers that minimize maintenance costs while maintaining the acceptable reliability. this mode...
