Winding is an integral operation in almost every roll to roll system. A center-wound roll is one of the suitable and general schemes in a winding mechanism. In general, the quality of wound roll is known to be related to the lateral displacement error and starring defect of a wound roll. Especially, a telescoping within a center-wound roll can cause damages such as misalignment between layers, ...

The composite tape winding process, which utilizes a tape winding machine and prepreg tapes, provides a promising way to improve the quality of composite products. Nevertheless, the process parameters of composite tape winding have crucial effects on the tensile strength and void content, which are closely related to the performances of the winding products. In this article, two different objec...

Permanent Magnet Machines (PMM) with a phase number (m) higher than three allow redundancy and lower torque ripple compared to their three phase counterparts. In this paper, a six phase permanent magnet machine with surface rotor magnets, designed with fractional slot tooth winding is proposed. A stator design with fractional slot tooth winding allows the design of a compact machine through sho...

At high frequency, the winding losses of power transformer due to skin and proximity effects becomes a significant component in the loss calculation of the transformer efficiency. This paper examines the winding losses associated with these effects for planar-type low-profile transformers that are suitable for high frequency high density soft switching power supply application. The transformer ...

This paper describes a computer model for calculating the surge propagation in the winding of electrical machines. The model considers the winding as a combination of a multiconductor transmission line and a network of lumped parameters. The frequency dependence of the winding electrical parameters are calculated and incorporated into the analysis by means of Foster and Cauer circuits. Finally,...
