This paper presents a physical model of a squirrel cage induction machine with rotor topology. The machine is modeled in Modelica, an object oriented multi physical modeling system. The presented machine model is used to investigate electrical rotor asymmetries in induction machines. For the case of a single broken rotor bar a simulation model is compared with measurement results.

Induction machines are the backbones of many industrial processes due to its robustness and reliability. Condition monitoring of induction motors is the process of monitoring the behavior of motor before significant change which leads to developing fault. Online fault diagnostics of induction motor is important, and its real function is to attempt to recognize the development of faults at an ea...

The paper aims to investigate the use of the Finite Element Method for electrical and mechanical faults detection in three-phase squirrel cage, induction machines. The features of Finite Element Method are significant, which consider the physical mapping of stator winding and rotor bar distribution. Therefore, modeling of the faults in stator winding, rotor bars and air-gap eccentricity will be...

This is a draft of a chapter for a book, Modification, in preparation for the Cambridge University Press series Key Topics in Semantics and Pragmatics. The full manuscript is also available as a single document on my website, as are some additional chapters. The book is something between a textbook for people who already have a basic background in semantics and a survey of work in the area. For...

In this article, a new fault detection technique is proposed for squirrel cage induction motor SCIM based on detection of rotor bar failure. This type of fault detection is commonly carried out, while motor continues to work at a steady-state regime. Recently, several methods have been presented for rotor bar failure detection based on evaluation of the start-up transient current. The proposed ...

Proteins containing a Bin/Amphiphysin/Rvs (BAR) domain regulate membrane curvature in the cell. Recent simulations have revealed that BAR proteins assemble into linear aggregates, strongly affecting membrane curvature and its in-plane stress profile. Here, we explore the opposite question: do mechanical properties of the membrane impact protein association? By using coarse-grained molecular dyn...

This paper examines portfolios within the framework of a dynamic asset-pricing model when investors can trade equity assets as well as bonds of many different maturities. We specify the model so that investors have demand for both a risky and a safe income stream. We characterize the resulting optimal equilibrium stock and bond portfolios and document that optimal bond investment strategies par...
