In this paper, two kinds of vibrations are considered for a composite Timoshenko rotor: longitudinal-torsional vibration and two plane transverse one. The kinetic and potential energies and virtual work due to the gyroscopic effects are calculated and the set of six governing equations and boundary conditions are derived using Hamilton principle. Differential quadrature method (DQM) is used as ...

The performance of Vector Controlled Induction Motor drive depends on the accuracy of rotor resistance which will vary with temperature and frequency. The MRAS approach using reactive power and flux as a state variable for rotor resistance estimation makes MRAS computationally simpler and easy to design. In this paper, Rotor Flux based MRAS (RF-MRAS) and Reactive Power based MRAS (RP-MRAS) for ...

Stable rotor levitation is a challenge for rotational gyroscopes (magnetically suspended gyroscopes (MSG) and electrostatically suspended gyroscopes (ESG)) with a ring- or disk-shaped rotor, which restricts further improvement of gyroscope performance. In addition, complicated pick-up circuits and feedback control electronics propose high requirement on fabrication technology. In the proposed g...

This paper analyzes an induction motor with high temperature superconducter (HTS) coated slotted solid rotor. By slotting the solid rotor, the electromagnetic torque near synchronous speed will increase but the starting torque will decrease. To improve starting torque, rotor slots are coated with HTS materials. Using HTS material vary the rotor resistance to great extends in starting step and t...

SUMMARY Electromagnetic field theory is applied to the analysis of performance of an induction-motor rotor when it is exposed to a rotating magnetic field of constant amplitude. An idealized model of the rotor is taken and the analysis is simplified by the application of the concept of wave impedance. The model rotor is capable of simulating the effects of tooth-top and zigzag leakage fluxes, b...

The majority of research into full-sized helicopter overlapping propulsion systems involves co-axial setups (fully overlapped). Partially overlapping rotor setups (tandem, multirotor) have received less attention, and empirical data produced over the years is limited. The increase in demand for compact small unmanned aircraft has exposed the need for empirical investigations of overlapping prop...

The model for the stator-rotor interaction is discussed in the sections The stator-rotor interaction and The rotor switching dynamics of the main text. The model is based on the model of Oster and Blair and coworkers [1, 2], but extended to include the conformational transitions of the rotor protein complex. Here, we discuss aspects of the model that are not discussed in the main text. But, for...
