Optimal design and implementation of a drivetrain for an ultra-light electric vehicle [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
This paper presents an integrated design of a drivetrain for a single-person ultra-light electric vehicle (ULEV). To calculate losses and efficiency of the inverter, the permanent magnet synchronous machines (PMSMs) and the gearbox, parameterised ...

Techno-economic comparison of operational aspects for direct drive and gearbox-driven wind turbines [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
The majority of wind turbines currently in operation have the conventional Danish concept design-that is, the three-bladed rotor of such turbines is indirectly coupled with an electrical generator via a gearbox.

Modeling of Wind Turbine Gearbox Mounting [PDF]

open access: yesModeling, Identification and Control, 2011
In this paper three bushing models are evaluated to find a best practice in modeling the mounting of wind turbine gearboxes. Parameter identification on measurements has been used to determine the bushing parameters for dynamic simulation of a gearbox ...

Observations of acoustic emission activity during gear defect diagnosis. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
It is widely recognised that acoustic emission (AE) is gaining ground as a non- destructive technique (NDT) for health diagnosis on rotating machinery.

Vibration Performance of Traction Gearbox of a High-Speed Train: Theoretical Analysis and Experiments

open access: yesActuators, 2023
The gearbox is the key component of the traction drive system of a high-speed train. At the same time, the traction gearbox can easily experience a box housing failure due to bearing internal excitation from gear meshing and external excitation from ...

Novel spectral kurtosis technology for adaptive vibration condition monitoring of multi-stage gearboxes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
In this paper, the novel wavelet spectral kurtosis (WSK) technique is applied for the early diagnosis of gear tooth faults. Two variants of the wavelet spectral kurtosis technique, called variable resolution WSK and constant resolution WSK, are ...

Study on the flow field and structural stress field of the primary retarder considering the throttling characteristics of the valve

open access: yesAdvances in Mechanical Engineering
The valve plays an important role in the control of the filling rate ( q fill ) and braking characteristics of the hydrodynamic retarder (HR). However, the dynamic throttling characteristics of the valve were rarely considered in previous studies ...

Planetary Gearbox Vibration Signal Characteristics Analysis and Fault Diagnosis

open access: yesShock and Vibration, 2015
Planetary gearboxes are widely used in helicopters, wind turbines, mining machinery, and so forth. The structure and motion type of a planetary gearbox are more complex in comparison with a fixed-shaft one, which makes condition monitoring and fault ...

Capturing, classification and concept generation for automated maintenance tasks [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Maintenance is an efficient and cost effective way to keep the function of the product available during the product lifecycle. Automating maintenance may drive down costs and improve performance time; however capturing the necessary information required ...

Pattern Formation in Non‐Equilibrium Architected Materials

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
This article demonstrates an artificial mechanical system ‐ a robotic metamaterial ‐ as an accessible and versatile platform within which to explore and prescribe the reaction‐diffusion driven pattern formation hitherto associated with comparatively less accessible and versatile non‐equilibrium biological and chemical systems.
