Design Considerations of Transverse Flux Generator to Sea Wave Energy

2014

In this paper we study the possibility to use a transverse flux linear generator (TFG) because transverse flux technology presents the highest force density per volume index among the iron based electrical machines. This paper is organized as follows an introduction to describe "state of the art" of WEC's and TFG, in the Section II we find a summary description of the marine condition of the chosen site; in the Section III there is an the analytical procedure for geometric and magnetic design of device (chosen material, length, etc) and in the Section IV the simulation of generator. Further defined the design of the generator, the machine was designed and analyzed through the use of a 3D FE…

CVBEM for solving De Saint-Venant solid under shear forces

2013

Abstract Evaluation of shear stresses distribution due to external shear forces applied to De Saint-Venant beams has been solved through Complex Variable Boundary Element Method properly extended, to benefit from advantages of this method, so far widely used for twisted solids. Extending the above method, further simplifications have been introduced such as those of performing line integrals only, instead of domain integrals. Numerical applications confirm accuracy and efficiency of the proposed extended version of the method, since the good agreement with results proposed in literature.

From single fiber to macro-level mechanics: A structural finite-element model for elastomeric fibrous biomaterials

2014

In the present work, we demonstrate that the mesoscopic in-plane mechanical behavior of membrane elastomeric scaffolds can be simulated by replication of actual quantified fibrous geometries. Elastomeric electrospun polyurethane (ES-PEUU) scaffolds, with and without particulate inclusions, were utilized. Simulations were developed from experimentally-derived fiber network geometries, based on a range of scaffold isotropic and anisotropic behaviors. These were chosen to evaluate the effects on macro-mechanics based on measurable geometric parameters such as fiber intersections, connectivity, orientation, and diameter. Simulations were conducted with only the fiber material model parameters a…

Magnetic Domain Imaging with a Photoemission Microscope

1997

ABSTRACTPhotoelectron emission microscopy (PEEM) has proven to be a versatile analytical technique in surface science. When operated with circularly polarized light in the soft x-ray regime, however, photoemission microscopy offers a unique combination of magnetic and chemical information. Exploiting the high brilliance and circular polarization available at a helical undulator beamline, the lateral resolution in the imaging of magnetic domain structures may be pushed well into the sub-micrometer range. Using a newly designed photoemission microscope we show that under these circumstances not only domains, but also domain walls can be selectively investigated. The high sensitivity of the te…

Imaging of Located Buried Defects in Metal Samples by an Scanning Microwave Microscopy

2011

Abstract A non-destructive method is proposed to detect the located buried defects using scanning microwave microscopy. Based on the “skin effect”, our recent developments authorize 3D tomography with nanometric resolution. This technique associates the electromagnetic microwave measurement using a Vector Network Analyzer (VNA) with the nanometer-resolution positioning capabilities of an Atomic Force Microscope. At each used frequency, an incident electromagnetic wave is send to the sample and the reflected wave gives information on a specific depth layer in the material. With a large bandwidth of frequencies, a 3D tomography is allowed inside the material. With characteristic tools of nano…
