Reliability Analysis in an Electrical Drive System

Modular approach for an ASIC integration of electrical drive controls

VLSI circuits design allows today to consider new modes of implementation for electrical controls. However, design techniques require an adaptation effort that few designers, too accustomed to the software approach, provide. The authors of this article propose to develop a methodology to guide the electrical designers towards optimal performances of control algorithms implementation. Thus, they...

DYNAMICAL ANALYSIS AND DESIGN OF FRONT ENGINE ACCESSORY DRIVE SYSTEM

In this paper, Front Engine Accessory Drive (FEAD) system of automotive engine is modeled with ADAMS software. The model is validated using engine test data. It is then used to investigate the effect of design parameters on the system performance such as belt vibration and loads on the idlers. Three alternative layouts were developed in order to improve the performance of original EEAD system. ...

An experiment in automatic modeling an electrical drive system using fuzzy logic

Electrical drives are usually modeled using circuit theory with currents or linking fluxes chosen as state variables for the electrical part, and rotor speed or position for the mechanical part of the system. Often, the internal structure of the drive system contains nonlinear relations difficult to mode as for example dead-time, hysteresis, and saturation effects. On the contrary, if the avail...
