This paper explores the theory and potential of a family of reluctance motors as well as brief review of different types of reluctance motors, motivated by the increased demands for geometric versatility and ruggedness for electric motors. This paper presents a new and novel disc type reluctance motor that has been designed built, tested, and analyzed. The magnetic circuit-based analysis shows ...

The electroelastic 4 × 4 Green’s function of a piezoelectric hexagonal (transversely isotropic) infinitely extended medium is calculated explicitely in closed compact form (eqs. (73) ff. and (88) ff., respectively) by using residue calculation. The results can also be derived from Fredholm’s method [2]. In the case of vanishing piezoelectric coupling the derived Green’s function coincides with ...

Let Mb be the operator of pointwise multiplication by b, that is Mb f = bf . Set [A,B] = AB−BA. The Reisz potentials are the operators Rα f(x) = ∫ f(x− y) dy |y|α , 0 < α < 1. They map L 7→ L, for 1 − α + 1 q = 1 p , a fact we shall take for granted in this paper. A Theorem of Chanillo MR84j:42027 [6] states that one has the equivalence ‖[Mb,Rα]‖p→q ≃ ‖b‖BMO with the later norm being that of th...

We use a self-consistent strong-coupling expansion for the self-energy (perturbation theory in the hopping) to describe the nonequilibrium dynamics of strongly correlated lattice fermions. We study the three-dimensional homogeneous Fermi-Hubbard model driven by an external electric field showing that the damping of the ensuing Bloch oscillations depends on the direction of the field and that fo...

Electric potential measurement technique (tomography) was introduced as a nondestructive method to evaluate concrete properties and durability. In this study, numerical meshless method was developed to solve a differential equation which simulates electric potential distribution for concrete with inclusion in two dimensions. Therefore, concrete samples with iron block inclusion in different loc...

A binary switch is the basic building block for information processing. The potential energy profile of a bistable binary switch is a 'symmetric' double well. The traditional method of switching it from one state (one well) to the other is to tilt the profile towards the desired state. Here, we present a case, where no such tilting is necessary to switch successfully, even in the presence of th...

complicated potential structure formed at a constriction of positive column of a dc discharge with heated cathode in he at low discharge currents is investigated. according to the potential structure, electrons and ions are accelerated by the electric field and their energy distribution functions acquire multi humped shapes. additional maximums on distribution functions quickly disappear due to...

magnetic field effects on the elastic response of polymeric piezoelectric cylinder reinforced with carbon nanotubes (cnts) is studied. the cylinder is subjected to internal pressure, a constant electric potential difference at the inner and outer surfaces, thermal and magnetic fields. the mori-tanaka model is used for obtaining the equivalent material properties of the cylinder. based on the ch...

We use a pin-grid electrode to introduce a corrugated electrical potential into a planar dielectric-barrier discharge (DBD) system, so that the amplitude of the applied electric field has the profile of a two-dimensional square lattice. The lattice potential provides a template for the spatial distribution of plasma filaments in the system and has pronounced effects on the patterns that can for...
