axial flux permanent magnet (afpm) machines are attractive candidates for electric vehicles (evs) applications due to their axial compact structure, high efficiency, high power and torque density. this paper presents general design characteristics of afpm machines. moreover, torque density of the machine which is selected as main objective function, is enhanced by using genetic algorithm (ga) a...

Pressure pulsation, created by the operation of hydraulic pumps in a fluid power system, is one of the primary causes of noise issues from hydraulic machinery. The wave energy resulting from such pulsation propagates in both the wall and the fluid of the flow pipes associated with the fluid power systems, inducing fluid borne vibration of the pipes and the consequent noise radiated from the pip...

The long-term observations of the Galactic Centre as well as the Galactic anti-Centre regions in hard X-rays (10-300 keV) were made in experiments on board Prognoz-9 satellite and ”Mir” orbital station (GRIF experiment). Some transient pulsars including A0535+262, GS1722-36, 4U1145-619, A1118615, EXO2030+37, Sct X-1, SAX J2103.5+4545, IGR 16320-4751, IGR 164654507 were observed. The pulsation f...

[1] We investigated a Pi2 pulsation that occurred at 0538 UT on 20 September 1995, using data from ground stations and the ETS-VI and EXOS-D satellites. Since ground stations at L = 1.45 12.6 and the two satellites were located at 7–10 hours of magnetic local time (MLT), we could investigate characteristics of the morning side Pi2 pulsation in detail. We also examined geomagnetic field data fro...

We have used high-speed spectroscopy of the rapidly oscillating Ap (roAp) star HD99563 to study the pulsation amplitude and phase behaviour of elements in its stratified atmosphere over one 2.91-d rotation cycle. We identify spectral features related to patches in the surface distribution of chemical elements and study the pulsation amplitudes and phases as the patches move across the stellar d...

OBJECTIVES Thermal pulsation (LipiFlow) has been advocated for meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) treatment and was found useful. We aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of thermal pulsation in Asian patients with different grades of meibomian gland loss. METHODS A hospital-based interventional study comparing thermal pulsation to warm compresses for MGD treatment. Fifty patients were rec...

It is shown that the dynamical evolution of perturbations on a static spacetime is governed by a standard pulsation equation for the extrinsic curvature tensor. The centerpiece of the pulsation equation is a wave operator whose spatial part is manifestly self-adjoint. In contrast to metric formulations, the curvature-based approach to perturbation theory generalizes in a natural way to self-gra...

We demonstrate how, with a purely empirical analysis of the irregular lightcurve data, one can extract a great deal of information about the stellar pulsation mechanism. An application to R Sct thus shows that the irregular lightcurve is the result of the nonlinear interaction of two highly nonadiabatic pulsation modes, namely a linearly unstable, low frequency mode, and the second mode that, a...

Output power fluctuations in a grating external cavity diode laser with Littman configuration are described, showing peculiar chaotic behaviors of self-pulsation at the L-I curve kink points. Different spectral characteristics with multiple peaks are observed at upper and lower state of the self-pulsation. It is found also that P-N junction voltage jumps in a same pace with the pulsation. The o...
