Classical Dependability Analysis techniques, such as Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) and Fault Tree Analysis, have been used during the last decades to demonstrate the reliability, availability, maintainability ...

The vibration of the stator frame due to electromagnetic forces is one of the main noise and vibration sources of electric machines. In some applications, due to the wide variety of working conditions, design optimizations ...

This work reviews and compares different airgap reluctance calculation approaches with experimental results, focusing on the Schwarz-Christoffel transformation. The modelling of the airgap reluctance in two dimensions is ...

Roll levelling is a primary manufacturing process used to remove residual stresses and imperfections of metal strips in order to make them suitable for subsequent forming operations. In the last years the importance of ...

Cyber-Physical Systems (CPSs) combine digital cyber technologies with parallel physical processes. On the one hand, verification methods of such systems mostly rely on (system level) simulation-based testing. This technique ...

In this paper a thermal test procedure and a calibration method for lumped parameter models are presented. Analytical models provide fast thermal simulations in comparison with finite element methods (FEM) and computed ...

Fans are commonly used to refrigerate electrical machines when air forced cooling is required. They are rather simple solutions that can considerably improve the thermal performance of electrical machines, so the fan ...

Dual-Active-Bridge (DAB) converter is one of the most proposed topologies when considering DC/DC bidirectional isolated power conversion. In these applications, the power density of the converter is one of the main ...

Nowadays, the emergence of electrically supplied actuators and energy storage systems is leading the aeronautic industry to develop aircrafts with more electrical power installed. Therefore, different Power-Electronic ...

Electrical drives consume a great amount of the world’s energy, and this will keep increasing due to the electromobility trend. Hence, the efficiency of electrical drives must be improved to reach sustainability. Silicon ...
