There existed an optimum Si content of the material depending on the tooth flux density. Both reduction of material thickness and stress-relief annealing of the stator core improved the motor efficiency. The influence of Si content on the efficiency was small at lower PWM frequencies, while at higher frequencies the motor efficiency increased with increasing Si content. The Cu loss WC increased and the Fe loss Wi counteractiveiy decreasedwith increasing Si content at lower frequencies; while at higher frequencies Wi had dominant effect on the efficiency. Newly developed materials RMA, having lower Fe losses after stress-relief annealing and higher flux densities with lower Si contents, showed motor efficiencies superior to conventional J1S grade materials with comparable Fe losses.展开更多

That’s to say, the dielectric permittivity, the conductivity and the type of coupling between the field and the exposed body. A biological system irradiated by an electromagnetic wave is traversed by induced currents of non-negligible density;the water molecules present in the biological tissues exposed to the electromagnetic field will begin to oscillate at the frequency of the incident wave, thus creating internal friction responsible for the heating of the irradiated tissues. This heating will be all the more important as the tissues are rich in water. This article presents the establishment from a mathematical and numerical analysis explaining the phenomena of interaction and consequences between electromagnetic waves and health. Since the total electric field in the biological system is unknown, that is why it can be determined by the Finite Difference Time Domain FDTD method to assess the electromagnetic power distribution in the biological system under study. For this purpose, the detailed on the mechanisms of interaction of microwave electromagnetic waves with the human body have been presented. Mathematical analysis using Maxwell’s equations as well as bio-heat equations is the basis of this study for a consistent result. Therefore, a thermal model of biological tissues based on an electrical analogy has been developed. By the principle of duality, an electrical model in the dielectric form of a multilayered human tissue was used in order to obtain a corresponding thermal model. This thermal model made it possible to evaluate the temperature profile of biological tissues during exposure to electromagnetic waves. The simulation results obtained from computer tools show that the temperature in the biological tissue is a linear function of the duration of exposure to microwave electromagnetic waves.展开更多

The current vs. voltage (I-V) characteristic based on the Lambert W-function was used. The estimation parameters for the simulation approach of the photovoltaic (PV) module make use of Levenberg-Marquardt method. It was considered an industrial polycrystalline silicon photovoltaic (PV) module and the simulated results were compared with the experimental ones extracted from a specific datasheet. The I-V characteristic for the analysed PV module and its maximum output power are investigated for different operating conditions of incident solar radiation flux and temperature, as well as parameters related to the solar cells material and technology (series resistance, shunt resistance and gamma factor). The analysis gives indications and limitations for design and optimization of the performance for industrial PV modules. This study can be implemented in any type of PV module.展开更多

On the basis of setting appropriate parameters, scanning single point energies are obtained by the same method and the potential energy curves under different external fields are also obtained. These results show that the physical property parameters and potential energy curves may change with external electric field, especially in the case of reverse direction electric field. The potential energy function without external electric field is fitted by Morse potential, and the fitting parameters are obtained which are in good agreement with experimental values. In order to obtain the critical dissociation electric parameter, the dipole approximation is adopted to construct a potential model fitting the corresponding potential energy curve of the external electric field. It is found that the fitted critical dissociation electric parameter is consistent with numerical calculation, so that the constructed model is reliable and accurate. These results will provide important theoretical and experimental reference for further studying the molecular spectrum, dynamics, and molecular cooling with Stark effect.展开更多

In order to investigate these properties, standard Epstein samples were cut at different angles to the rolling direction. The hard magnetization direction was found at an angle of 60° to the rolling direction. To compare the measured and fitting curves, when the magnetic field intensity is higher than 7000 A/m, it is appropriate to simulate the relation of magnetic permeability and magnetization angle using the conventional elliptical model. When the magnetic field intensity is less than 3000 A/m, parabolic fitting models should be used; but when the magnetic field intensity is between 3000 and 7000 A/m, hybrid models with high accuracy, as proposed in this paper, should be applied. Piecewise relation models of magnetic permeability and magnetization angle are significant for improving the accuracy of electromagnetic engineering calculations of electrical steel, and these new models could be applied in further industrial applications.展开更多

The first resistor R<sub>Co</sub> is a control that aims to prevent sudden variations in the intensity of the electric current i<sub>1</sub>(t) present at the terminals of the electrochemical supercapacitor at the beginning of the charging process. The second resistor is the internal resistance R<sub>A</sub> of the ammeter used in the calculation of the intensity of the electric current i<sub>1</sub>(t) over time in the charging and discharging processes. The mathematical equations generated were based on a 2R(C + kU<sub>C</sub>(t)) electrical circuit model and allowed to simulate the effects of the potential-dependent capacitance (kU<sub>C</sub>(t)) on the charge and discharge curves and hence on the calculated values of the fixed capacitance C, the equivalent series resistance (ESR), the equivalent parallel resistance (EPR) and the electrical potential dependent capacitance index k.展开更多

Following the appearance of questions and debates within the population, the actions and potential effects of radiofrequency and HV transport networks on health, in connection with the development of new wireless technologies, are generating a certain revival of interest. Thus, the increasing exposure to electromagnetic fields and the concerns of the public have led health organizations to undertake large-scale research programs to respond to the concerns expressed. These research programs have contributed to significantly increasing the number of studies on the actions and effects of electromagnetic pollution as well as their consequences on living beings. The objective of our research is focused on the analysis, sources, and study of the biological consequences of electromagnetic pollution. To do this, we have used physical laws and theorems, in particular Maxwell-Ampère, Maxwell-Gauss, Maxwell-Faraday, and Ohm’s law, to model the interactions between electromagnetic fields and living matter. In this article we have chosen the approach based on the electrical model of human biological tissue, taking into account on the one hand the physical phenomena of the propagation of an electromagnetic microwave plane wave in the range from 0 to 300GHz and on the other hand, the experimental values to simulate the relaxations α, β and γ and the impedance of the biological tissue faced with the variation of the frequency of propagation of the electromagnetic waves to identify the biological consequences relating thereto. The results obtained in the literature show the linear dependence of bio-impedance on frequency, these observations suggest that the tissue can be physiologically stressed at high frequencies. This can cause biological consequences for humans. The 2D simulation based on the proposed model has been developed as well as the verification of the consistency of the different mathematical models, by comparing the fractal dimensions of the results of the program with those of the figures obtained experimentally.展开更多

METHODS: A 3D electric ophthalmotrope was designed by simulating the movement of the ocular and the extraocular muscles according to Sherrington’s law. The model with joint bearing was to ensure the flexibility and centripetal rotation of the simulated ball and stepper motor as the driving device. A programmable processor was used to control the motion amplitude of the stepper motor. The size of hole was set at the back of the simulated shell to limit the amount of eye movement. Afterwards, using a 5-point Likert scale, 7 experts evaluated the 3D electric ophthalmotrope’s simulation ability and precision, compared with the traditional anatomical model. In addition, the teaching effectiveness of the 3D electric ophthalmotrope was evaluated at in-class quiz and final exam in a randomized controlled trial. RESULTS: The 3D electric ophthalmotrope could be operated easily to demonstrate the eye movements with motion of different ocular muscles. The experts agreed that the 3D electric ophthalmotrope was different from the traditional model and was easier for students to understand every extraocular muscles’ movement in each evaluation index(P<0.05). Moreover, the results of teaching effectiveness showed that the 3D electric ophthalmotrope were significantly greater than the traditional model both at in-class quiz(P<0.01) and final exam(P<0.05). CONCLUSION: This novel 3D electric ophthalmotrope is better than the traditional model, which can be to improve the ophthalmology teaching effectiveness for students to understand the extraocular muscles’ movement.展开更多

文摘It is adopted the single-diode solar cell model and extended for a PV module. The current vs. voltage (I-V) characteristic based on the Lambert W-function was used. The estimation parameters for the simulation approach of the photovoltaic (PV) module make use of Levenberg-Marquardt method. It was considered an industrial polycrystalline silicon photovoltaic (PV) module and the simulated results were compared with the experimental ones extracted from a specific datasheet. The I-V characteristic for the analysed PV module and its maximum output power are investigated for different operating conditions of incident solar radiation flux and temperature, as well as parameters related to the solar cells material and technology (series resistance, shunt resistance and gamma factor). The analysis gives indications and limitations for design and optimization of the performance for industrial PV modules. This study can be implemented in any type of PV module.

文摘Using the density functional B3P86/cc-PV5Z method, the geometric structure of BH molecule under different external electric fields is optimized, and the bond lengths, dipole moments, vibration frequencies, and other physical properties parameters are obtained. On the basis of setting appropriate parameters, scanning single point energies are obtained by the same method and the potential energy curves under different external fields are also obtained. These results show that the physical property parameters and potential energy curves may change with external electric field, especially in the case of reverse direction electric field. The potential energy function without external electric field is fitted by Morse potential, and the fitting parameters are obtained which are in good agreement with experimental values. In order to obtain the critical dissociation electric parameter, the dipole approximation is adopted to construct a potential model fitting the corresponding potential energy curve of the external electric field. It is found that the fitted critical dissociation electric parameter is consistent with numerical calculation, so that the constructed model is reliable and accurate. These results will provide important theoretical and experimental reference for further studying the molecular spectrum, dynamics, and molecular cooling with Stark effect.

文摘The magnetic properties of highly grain-oriented electrical steel vary along different directions. In order to investigate these properties, standard Epstein samples were cut at different angles to the rolling direction. The hard magnetization direction was found at an angle of 60° to the rolling direction. To compare the measured and fitting curves, when the magnetic field intensity is higher than 7000 A/m, it is appropriate to simulate the relation of magnetic permeability and magnetization angle using the conventional elliptical model. When the magnetic field intensity is less than 3000 A/m, parabolic fitting models should be used; but when the magnetic field intensity is between 3000 and 7000 A/m, hybrid models with high accuracy, as proposed in this paper, should be applied. Piecewise relation models of magnetic permeability and magnetization angle are significant for improving the accuracy of electromagnetic engineering calculations of electrical steel, and these new models could be applied in further industrial applications.

文摘This study presents the deduction of time domain mathematical equations to simulate the curve of the charging process of a symmetrical electrochemical supercapacitor with activated carbon electrodes fed by a source of constant electric potential in time ε and the curve of the discharge process through two fixed resistors. The first resistor R<sub>Co</sub> is a control that aims to prevent sudden variations in the intensity of the electric current i<sub>1</sub>(t) present at the terminals of the electrochemical supercapacitor at the beginning of the charging process. The second resistor is the internal resistance R<sub>A</sub> of the ammeter used in the calculation of the intensity of the electric current i<sub>1</sub>(t) over time in the charging and discharging processes. The mathematical equations generated were based on a 2R(C + kU<sub>C</sub>(t)) electrical circuit model and allowed to simulate the effects of the potential-dependent capacitance (kU<sub>C</sub>(t)) on the charge and discharge curves and hence on the calculated values of the fixed capacitance C, the equivalent series resistance (ESR), the equivalent parallel resistance (EPR) and the electrical potential dependent capacitance index k.
文摘The actions and health effects of electromagnetic fields in the radio frequency (RF) domains, referred to as radio frequencies and HV transmission networks have been studied for several decades. Following the appearance of questions and debates within the population, the actions and potential effects of radiofrequency and HV transport networks on health, in connection with the development of new wireless technologies, are generating a certain revival of interest. Thus, the increasing exposure to electromagnetic fields and the concerns of the public have led health organizations to undertake large-scale research programs to respond to the concerns expressed. These research programs have contributed to significantly increasing the number of studies on the actions and effects of electromagnetic pollution as well as their consequences on living beings. The objective of our research is focused on the analysis, sources, and study of the biological consequences of electromagnetic pollution. To do this, we have used physical laws and theorems, in particular Maxwell-Ampère, Maxwell-Gauss, Maxwell-Faraday, and Ohm’s law, to model the interactions between electromagnetic fields and living matter. In this article we have chosen the approach based on the electrical model of human biological tissue, taking into account on the one hand the physical phenomena of the propagation of an electromagnetic microwave plane wave in the range from 0 to 300GHz and on the other hand, the experimental values to simulate the relaxations α, β and γ and the impedance of the biological tissue faced with the variation of the frequency of propagation of the electromagnetic waves to identify the biological consequences relating thereto. The results obtained in the literature show the linear dependence of bio-impedance on frequency, these observations suggest that the tissue can be physiologically stressed at high frequencies. This can cause biological consequences for humans. The 2D simulation based on the proposed model has been developed as well as the verification of the consistency of the different mathematical models, by comparing the fractal dimensions of the results of the program with those of the figures obtained experimentally.
