The ironless linear permanent magnet synchronous motor (ILPMSM) is highly compact, easy to control, and exhibits minimal thrust fluctuations, making it an ideal choice for direct loading applications requiring precise positioning accuracy in test rigs. To address the issue of temperature rise resulting from increased primary winding current simultaneously enhance density while minimizing this p...

The visualization community is currently witnessing strong advances in topologybased flow visualization research. Numerous algorithms have been proposed since the introduction of this class of approaches in 1989. Yet despite the many advances in the field, topology-based flow visualization methods have, until now, failed to penetrate industry. Application domain experts are still, in general, n...

The most common energy application for biogas is on-site power generation using gas engine units. The introduction of a bottoming cycle based on Scroll expander Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) technology within a biogas plant is of high interest since the excess heat produced by biogas engines can be used to produce additional power. This paper describes the retrofit of a plant consisting of a dige...

In order to evaluate the flow field characteristics of a marine diesel engine cooling water jacket, and provide theoretical basis for further optimizing jacket structure. A computational fluid dynamics (CFD) method was used calculate three-dimensional jacket. Based on CFD simulation model analysis pressure field, velocity streamline distribution uniformity under rated condition were carried out...

We present a visual analysis and exploration of the transfer of heat via fluid flow through a cooling jacket. Engineers invest a large amount of time and serious effort to optimize the flow through this engine component because of its important role in transferring heat away from the engine block. In this study we examine the design goals that engineers apply in order to construct an ideal-as-p...

This study investigates the seismic response of a horizontal axis wind turbine on two bottom-fixed support structures for transitional water depths (30-60 m), a tripod and a jacket, both resting on pile foundations. Fully coupled, nonlinear time-domain simulations on full system models are carried out under combined wind-wave-earthquake loadings, for different load cases, considering fixed and ...

This paper proposes a tactile display mouse providing both pin-array type tactile display and thermal display. Micro shape and vibrotactile stimuli can be generated by pin-arrayed tactile display and various planar distributed patterns can be also displayed such as Braille cell patterns. Temperature and thermophysical property of object can be displayed by the thermal display device that is com...

The development of a Self-Tuning Neuro-Fuzzy Generalized Minimum Variance (GMV) controller is described. It uses fuzzy expert knowledge of the dynamic weightings to meet desired closed-loop stability and performance requirements. The controller is formulated in a polynomial system approach mixed with a Neuro-Fuzzy model and Fuzzy Self-Tuning mechanism. The proposed method is applied to a model ...
