Fabrication of metal matrix composites under intensive shearing [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Current processing methods for metal matrix composites (MMC) often produces agglomerated reinforced particles in the ductile matrix and also form unwanted brittle secondary phases due to chemical reaction between matrix and the reinforcement. As a result

Modeling and Optimization of Dual Active Bridge DC-DC Converter with Dead-Time Effect under Triple-Phase-Shift Control

open access: yesEnergies, 2019
Dead-time effect has become an apparent issue in high-switching-frequency high-power dual active bridge (DAB) DC-DC converter. This paper gives a detailed analysis of phase-shift errors effect caused by dead time, including output voltage offset, soft ...

Biofeedback systems for stress reduction: Towards a Bright Future for a Revitalized Field [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Stress has recently been baptized as the black death of the 21st century, which illustrates its threat to current health standards. This article proposes biofeedback systems as a means to reduce stress.

Continuum mechanics, stresses, currents and electrodynamics [PDF]

open access: yesPhilosophical Transactions of the Royal Society A: Mathematical, Physical and Engineering Sciences, 2016
The Eulerian approach to continuum mechanics does not make use of a body manifold. Rather, all fields considered are defined on the space, or the space–time, manifolds. Sections of some vector bundle represent generalized velocities which need not be associated with the motion of material points.

A re-assessment of elastic follow-up in high temperature piping [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
The problem of elastic follow‐up in high temperature piping has a long (and interesting) history. Until a paper by Robinson1 in 1955 it was assumed that since the piping was ‘deformation controlled’, the strain would remain broadly constant with the ...

An Efficiency-Optimized Isolated Bidirectional DC-DC Converter with Extended Power Range for Energy Storage Systems in Microgrids

open access: yesEnergies, 2012
This paper proposes a novel extended-single-phase shift (ESPS) control strategy of isolated bidirectional full-bridge DC-DC converters (IBDCs) which are a promising alternative as a power electronic interface in microgrids with an additional function of ...

Stress evolution and thickness change of a lithium-ion pouch cell under various cycling conditions

open access: yesJournal of Power Sources Advances, 2022
To design large-sized lithium-ion battery modules for the application of electric vehicles and grid-level energy storage, it is of important significance to understand how stress and dimension of a single pouch cell fluctuate during charge/discharge ...
