Vibrodiagnosis helps in detecting incipient faults in rotating machines like pumps and generators. Early detection prevents from undesired breakdown of the machine and allows to schedule maintenance times. The application of neural networks in classification of the rotating machine condition has been described in this work. Different types of networks and methods on feature extraction was descr...

This paper deals with the analytical computation of the magnetic field distribution in a wholly superconducting reluctance motor. The rotor is made with high temperature superconductor bulks which nearly present a diamagnetic behavior under zero-field cooling. The stator consists of superconducting armature windings fed by AC currents of high amplitude. The superconducting stator winding can ge...
