A combined three-dimensional digitisation and subsurface defect detection data using active infrared thermography
2016
International audience; In recent years, NonDestructive Testing (NDT) systems have been upgraded with three-dimensional information. Indeed, combine the three-dimensional and thermal information allows a more meaningful analysis. In the literature, the data for NDT and three-dimensional (3D) reconstruction analysis are commonly acquired from independent systems. However, the use of two such systems leads to error analysis during the data registration. In an attempt to overcome such problems, we propose a single system based on active thermography approach using heat point-source stimulation to get the 3D digitization as well as subsurface defect detection. The experiments are conducted on s…
Experimental investigation on different rainfall energy harvesting structures
2018
In this paper proposes an experimental comparison between different rainfall harvesting devices and the study of the corresponding electrical rectifying circuit. More in detail, three harvesting structures are considered: the cantilever, the bridge and the floating circle. For each of the proposed structure, different waveforms have been acquired and discussed. The processed data have been compared in order to suggest the best choice for the rectifying circuit, from the simplest one to the most endorsed in the technical literature.
Analytical description of solid particles kinematics due to a fluid flow and application to the depiction of characteristic kinematics in cold sprayi…
2017
Abstract In several multiphase flow applications such as fluidization, thermal spraying, atomization manufacturing and so on, the Newton's law is widely enacted to formulate the particle/fluid kinematic interaction and then to compute particles kinematics. This paper provides analytical solutions of the Newton's law in its time-dependent formulation or simplified formulation, the latter being a reduction of the time dependent problem into a spatial description of the particle motion. It was found that the velocity solution is strictly similar in both cases so that the simplified formulation is viable. The W_ 1 branch of the Lambert's function yields the analytical particle residence time an…

Maximum Torque Per Ampere control algorithm for low saliency ratio interior permanent magnet synchronous motors
2017
This paper presents an investigation on the comparison between the Maximum Torque Per Ampere (MTPA) and the Field Orientation Control (FOC) algorithms for interior permanent magnet synchronous machines (IPMSMs). In particular, this study was carried out on a small-power IPMSM with low salience ratio. Both control algorithms have been implemented in the Matlab/Simulink environment, obtaining promising results.
Early detection and classification of bearing faults using support vector machine algorithm
2017
Bearings are one of the most critical elements in rotating machinery systems. Bearing faults are the main reason for failures in electrical motors and generators. Therefore, early bearing fault detection is very important to prevent critical system failures in the industry. In this paper, the support vector machine algorithm is used for early detection and classification of bearing faults. Both time and frequency domain features are used for training the support vector machine learning algorithm. The trained classier can be employed for real-time bearing fault detection and classification. By using the proposed method, the bearing faults can be detected at early stages, and the machine oper…
Investigation and reduction of losses on inverter-fed induction motors
2017
An electric motor is more effective and flexible when supplied by a frequency converter. The frequency converter not only produces the fundamental voltage but also a set of higher harmonics which cause additional losses in the motor. Losses in the frequency converter are normally neglected in the drive dimensioning due to insufficient data available from manufacturers. Motor's losses can be reduced by increasing the switching frequency of frequency converters. An increase of the switching frequency may result in higher losses in the frequency converter. This work investigates analytically and experimentally the dependence of the losses of modern motor and frequency converter on a switching …
Identification of induction motor thermal model for improved drivetrain design
2016
Selection of components of electric drivetrains is not only based on evaluating their ability to perform according to mechanical specifications, but — what is equally important — on assessing their thermal protection limits. These are typically affected by electrical and thermal properties of motors and drives. Although rated parameters (such as power, torque, speed, etc.) are easily accessible in catalogs of equipment producers, more specific properties like mass / length of copper winding, heat dissipation factor, rotor / stator dimensions etc. are not available to customers. Therefore, effective selection of drivetrain components is limited due to the lack of sufficient data and the need…
Sensorless control of induction motors using an extended Kalman filter and linear quadratic tracking
2017
Induction motors are the most commonly used prime-movers in industrial applications. Many induction motors supplied by frequency converters are coupled with a physical angular rotor position/velocity sensor which makes the drive complex and require maintenance. This paper presents a sensorless control structure to avoid using a physical angular rotor position/velocity sensor. The proposed method estimates and control the angular rotor velocity using optimal control theory. The optimal controller used in this paper is based on linear quadratic tracking and the states of the machine are estimated using an extended Kalman filter. Both the controller and the estimator utilize the same internal …
Strategies for numerical simulation of linear friction welding of metals: a review
2017
Linear friction welding (LFW) is a solid-state joining process used to weld non-axisymmetric components. Material joining is obtained through the reciprocating motion of two specimens undergoing an axial force. During this process, the heat source is determined by the frictional work transformed into heat. This results in a local softening of the material and plays a key role in the onset of the bonding conditions. In this paper, a critical analysis of the different approaches used to simulate the LFW processes is provided. The focus of the paper is the comparison of different modeling strategies and the most relevant outputs available, i.e. temperature, strain and stress distribution, mate…
