multiple coupled circuit modeling of squirrel-cage induction motors, or winding function approach is the most detailed and complete analytical model used to analyze the performance of the faulty induction motors. this paper extends the above-mentioned model to a saturable model including variable degrees of the saturation effects using an appropriate air gap function and novel techniques for lo...

this research work is devoted to experimental and theoretical evaluations of a hybrid constitutive model which was designed to simulate the mechanical behavior of a tread rubber compound. the model is a combination of yeoh hyperelastic model with a strain-rate hysteresis model developed by bergstrom and boyce. the parameters of the yeoh model were calibrated from experimental data of the astm d...

Optimal design for the joint estimation of the mean and covariance matrix of the random effects in hierarchical linear models is discussed. A criterion is derived under a Bayesian formulation which requires the integration over the prior distribution of the covariance matrix of the random effects. A theoretical optimal design structure is obtained for the situation of independent and homoscedas...

to improve our understanding of helicobacter  infection in cats and to determine whether they are reservoirs for h. pylori  and sources of zoonotic transmission to humans, we selected cats as an experimental animal model for gastric colonization by h. pylori. sixteen stray cats underwent helicobacter  eradication treatment followed by three consecutive oral inoculations of a cocktail of human h...

to describe the rheological behavior of polymer blends using emulsionbased (palierne theory) as well as micromechanical models (coranapproach), two immiscible polymeric blend systems of poly(trimethylene terephthalate) (ptt)/polyamide-12 (pa12) and ptt/polyethylene (pe) having different levels of molecular interactions were investigated as model systems. the role of interfacial interactions, vi...
