Winding function method (WFM) provides a detailed and rather simple analytical modeling and simulation technique for analyzing performance of faulty squirrel-cage induction motors (SCIMs). Such analysis is mainly applicable for designing on-line fault diagnosis techniques. In this paper, WFM is extended to include variable degree of magnetic saturation by applying an appropriate air gap functio...

1 Paper supported by MURST project ‘Fault Detection and Diagnosis, Supervision and Control Reconfiguration in Industrial Process’ Abstract In this paper, an automatic sensor validation strategy for the measurements of plasma line density in the ENEA-FTU tokamak is presented. Density measurements are performed by a 5-channel DCN interferometer. The approach proposed is based on the design of a n...

Stacking faults in (1010) unicrystal Co and Co-alloy thin films have been analyzed by the electron diffraction technique. As predicted no diffraction contrast of stacking faults could be observed when the beam is parallel to the [1010] direction. However, both by plan-view TEM observation and electron diffraction along the [1120] direction reveal that the stacking fault density in biased pure C...

The dips of boundaries in faults and caldera walls play an important role in understanding their formation mechanisms. The fault dip is a particularly important parameter in numerical simulations for hazard map creation as the fault dip affects estimations of the area of disaster occurrence. In this study, I introduce a technique for estimating the fault dip using the eigenvector of the observe...
