Motor speed can’t change suddenly during the operation of motor because of inertia. In the short process of motor being not driven by motor controller, the operation of motor can be thought of as a uniform motion process. Making use of this property, it can be estimated next or next several cycles by measuring previous one or several cycles of motor. So the motor speed can be Figured out accord...

Effective coatings improve the performance of any device designed to emit or collect light over a range of angles and wavelengths. Improved broadband and wide angle antireflection coatings (ARCs) are a simple and direct way to improve solar cell performance. In this paper we demonstrate a multilayered ARC optimized using a new meta-heuristic algorithm called the average uniform algorithm (AUA)....

The stress distribution in the vicinity of connections in a bolted steel angle is non-uniform because of the coupled effects of connection eccentricity, shear lag and stress concentrations. Although, some researchers have attempted finite element analysis, stipulations in various codes and specifications regarding the design of angle tension members are primarily based on the experimental studi...

In this paper we present a novel two-microphone sound source separation algorithm, which selects the signal from the target direction while suppressing signals from other directions. In this algorithm, which is referred to as Power Angle Information Near Target (PAINT), we first calculate phase difference for each time-frequency bin. From the phase difference, the angle of a sound source is est...

Due to the shadowing effect, the oblique angle deposition technique can produce nanorods tilted toward the incident deposition flux. Periodic posts serving as seeds on a substrate allow the fabrication of nanorod arrays with controllable separations. However, in a conventional oblique angle deposition with no substrate rotation, nanorods grow faster along their widths in the direction perpendic...

In quantitative evaluation of facial skin chromophore content using color imaging, several factors such as view angle and facial curvature affect the accuracy of measured values. To determine the influence of view angle and facial curvature on the accuracy of quantitative image analysis, we acquire cross-polarized diffuse reflectance color images of a white-patched mannequin head model and huma...

Simulations of three-dimensional laminar forced convection adjacent to inclined backward-facing step in rectangular duct are presented to examine effects of step inclination on flow and heat transfer distributions. The step height is maintained as constant while its inclination angle is changed from 15 to 90 . The inlet flow is hydrodynamically steady and fully developed with uniform temperatur...

The hydrostatic extrusion is a new method of extrusion process. The most important advantage of this method is reduction of friction and close tolerance for the coating thickness. In this study, the hydrostatic extrusion simulation of bimetallic wires has performed using of finite element method. In the following the advantages of hydrostatic extrusion compared to the direct extrusion are prese...

Constructal design is used to study heat removal from a square heated body with a tree shaped high thermal conductivity pathways embedded in the body. The objective is to minimize the defined maximum dimensionless temperature difference for the body. The thermal conductivity of the body is low, and there is a uniform heat generation on it. The volume of the body is fixed. The amount of high con...
