In the present paper, an asymptotic model is constructed for the short-time deformation of an articular cartilage layer modeled as transversely isotropic, transversely homogeneous (TITH) biphasic material. It is assumed that the layer thickness is relatively small compared with the characteristic size of the normal surface load applied to the upper surface of the cartilage layer, while the bott...

OBJECTIVE Diabetes is associated with renin-angiotensin system (RAS) activation, leading to renal and systemic vascular dysfunction that contribute to end-organ injury and significant morbidity. RAS blockade with ACE inhibitors reduces, but does not abolish, RAS effects. Accordingly, our aim was to determine if direct renin inhibition alone, and in combination with an ACE inhibitor, corrects ea...

Multilevel inverters (MLI) becomes more accepted over the last few years in high power application of electrical engineering with the advantage of less disturbances and the possibility to work at lower switching frequencies as compared to conventional two-level inverters. In this paper the simulation of single phase multilevel inverter is present. Simulation of three level, five level, seven le...

Abstract— Multilevel inverters have gained importance in medium voltage and high power drives applications due to superior performance over two level inverters such as lower harmonics, less voltage stress, better harmonic profile, reduced dv/dt stress, produce lower common mode voltage etc., This paper focuses on implementation of Space Vector Pulse Width Modulation (SVPWM) Technique for Three ...

An inchworm actuator is designed as symmetrical structural layout, which can generate bidirectional thrust force. The clamped flexible mechanisms are set in stator and that of driven are in mover. Firstly, the parameters of flexible hinges are analyzed and optimized. Then, a kind of 6-division time-sequence signal applied to clamped/driven mechanism is discussed. As a result, trapezoid waveform...

A new family of matrix converters is introduced, that employs relatively simple voltage-clamped buses and can generate multilevel voltage waveforms of arbitrary magnitude and frequency. The basic configuration includes a nine-switch matrix that uses four-quadrant switch cells. Each four-quadrant switch cell resembles a full-bridge inverter and can assume three voltage levels during conduction. ...

The above concept brings out the method for the multilevel inverters for generation of space vector pulse width modulation (SVPWM) signals. The small triangles formed by the adjacent voltage space vectors are called sectors. Such six sectors around a voltage space vector forms a hexagon called sub hexagon. The space vector diagram of a multilevel inverter can be viewed as composed of a number o...

In this study, we develop a clamped-clamped beam-type piezoelectric vacuum pressure sensing element. The clamped-clamped piezoelectric beam is composed of a PZT layer and a copper substrate. A pair of electrodes is set near each end. An input voltage is applied to a pair of electrodes to vibrate the piezoelectric beam, and the output voltage is measured at the other pair. Because the viscous fo...
