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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
