nowadays the use of the switched reluctance motors (srms) has been considerably increased in various home and industrial applications. despite of many advantages of this type of motors, such as simple structure, low cost, and high reliability, the main disadvantage of them is the generation of high torque pulsation. this paper presents a novel method to optimize a typical srm such that the torq...

carbon nanotube, a new structure of carbon element, is composed of graphene sheets rolled into closed concentric cylinders with diameter of the order of nanometers and length of micrometers. liquid arc discharge was used for fabrication of carbon nanotubes, and subsequently a modified acid treatment method applied for purification stage. a statistical design of experimental (doe) (taguchi metho...

efficient and on-time maintenance plays a crucial role inreducing cost and increasing the market share of an industrial unit. preventivemaintenance is a broad term that encompasses a set of activitiesaimed at improving the overall reliability and availability of a systembefore machinery breakdown. the previous studies have addressed thescheduling of preventive maintenance. these studies have co...
