Effect of filler on the impact characteristics of aluminium tubes
(Taylor & Francis, 2014-12-18)
This paper presents the behaviour of empty and foam-filled aluminium alloy (AA6061-T6) tubes under dynamic axial loading. The influence of geometrical and various densities of fillers was investigated by employing a finite ...
Experimental and numerical analysis of foam-filled aluminum conical tubes subjected to oblique impact loading
(Carl Hanser Verlag GmbH & Co. KG., 2014)
This study aims to investigate the response of AA6061-T6 conical tubes under oblique impact loading, for variations in filler density and tube material by using experimentally validated model. Good correlations between the ...
Modeling and numerical simulation for the newly designed four cavity blades vertical axis wind turbine
(Trans Tech Publications, 2014)
The last years have proved that Vertical Axis Wind Turbines (VAWTs) are more suitable for urban areas than Horizontal Axis Wind Turbines (HAWTs). To date, very little has been published in this area to assess good performance ...
Dynamic axial crushing of empty and foam-filled conical aluminium tubes: Experimental and numerical analysis
(Trans Tech Publications, 2014-09)
This paper presents the crushing behaviour of empty and foam-filled conical tubes under axial dynamic loading. A nonlinear finite element (FE) model was developed and validated against experiments. The validated model was ...
The effect of room temperature on the generator’s winding coils temperature
(Trans Tech Publications, 2014)
Thermal modeling is a method used to formulate a temperature profile for a generator. The most common types of thermal model used by researchers are transient and steady-state model. There is insufficient of information ...
A new approach to reduce the thermal modeling experiment time by estimating the settling time
(Trans Tech Publications, 2014)
In order to develop a thermal model for a generator or a motor, several experiments need to be conducted. One of the challenges in conducting the experiment is that it consumes a lot of time to reach its steady state ...
