Effect of the number of blades and solidity on the performance of a vertical axis wind turbine [PDF]
Two, three and four bladed phgr-shape Vertical Axis Wind Turbines are simulated using a free-wake vortex model. Two versions of the three and four bladed turbines are considered, one having the same chord length as the two-bladed turbine and the other ...

Core Losses and Torque Ripple in IPM Machines: Dedicated Modeling and Design Trade Off [PDF]
The proper combination of stator and rotor slot numbers is pursued in the design of interior permanent-magnet (IPM) motors with wide constant-power speed range.

Assessment of torque components in brushless permanent-magnet machines through numerical analysis of the electromagnetic field [PDF]
For the calculation of torque in brushless (BL) alternating current motors a local method is proposed, based on the Maxwell stress theory and the filtered contributions due to the harmonics of the magnetic vector potential in the motor air gap.

Coulomb explosion sputtering of selectively oxidized Si [PDF]
We have studied multiply charged Arq+ ion induced potential sputtering of a unique system comprising of coexisting Silicon and Silicon oxide surfaces. Such surfaces are produced by oblique angle oxygen ion bombardment on Si(100), where ripple structures ...

Atomic force microscopy (AFM) study of thick lamellar stacks of phospholipid bilayers
We report an Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) study on thick multi lamellar stacks of approx. 10 mum thickness (about 1500 stacked membranes) of DMPC (1,2-dimyristoyl-sn-glycero-3-phoshatidylcholine) deposited on silicon wafers.
