The aim of this work is to compute the mechanical forces in a 12-pulse converter transformer winding in different short-circuit modes. A 12-pulse converter transformer is a three phase transformer with two secondary windings whose tension have 30° phase displacement and one primary ... En savoir plus

The application of an oscillating magnetic field on the high-power full-penetration laser beam welding process of a 20 mm thick stainless steel plate was numerically and experimentally investigated. In the simulations, three-dimensional heat transfer and fluid dynamics as well as ... En savoir plus

Eddy current thermography (ECT) is a non-destructive contact-free method of defect detection in a conductive material combining the electromagnetic induction of eddy currents and thermal imaging. This technique uses an excitation system consisting of an inductor with coil(s) carrying ... En savoir plus

In this work, a 2.8x0.22 μm^2 silicon strip waveguide (n = 3.43 @4.234 μm) on a silica substrate (n = 1.38 @4.234 μm) and a superstrate with n = 1 was designed and evaluated through 2D (i.e., mode analysis), and 3D (i.e., wave propagation) analysis to strengthen the interaction between ...

The contamination of food products with low water contents is a safety issue that cannot be disregarded. Despite their low water activity, they are indeed susceptible to infection by micro-organisms that are highly resistant to heat. In this case, conventional pasteurisation techniques ...

Quasi-static 2D-MEMS vector scanners are micro-opto-electro-mechanical systems (MOEMS) made of monocrystalline silicon. The primary application for these controllable micromirrors is the high dynamic and precise deflection of laser beams, for example in light detection and ranging ... En savoir plus

Current transformers are used to measure currents in power grid systems. They are characterized by strong interactions between external electrical sources and loads respectively and the magnetic subsystem. Self-heating due to losses has to be considered because of the temperature ... En savoir plus

This paper presents a snap shot of experimental work, which has been conducted at NTNU on billet heating with induction coils. A significant volume of experimental data have been collected for coils running with up to 0.2T: high accuracy Hall probe readings (+/-1%), metal ... En savoir plus

There are over 10 million kilometers of pipes and pipelines around the world that carry hazardous fluids and gases. Fluids include oil, oil products, chemicals such as solvents, caustics, acids, corrosives and combustibles often at high pressure and temperature. These pipes are ... En savoir plus

Structural colors of photonic crystals demonstrate significant application value in optical sensing and anti-counterfeiting due to their high stability and environmental friendliness. However, current research still lacks systematic investigation into the structure-property relationship ... En savoir plus
