Improving Overhead Equipment Devices for a New Era of Railway Transportation
Using structural modeling and optimization, Raychem RPG designed an autotensioning device and modular cantilever for catenary and contact lines used in overhead equipment (OHE) devices. The devices will be used to help revitalize the Indian railway network. Read More
Picking the Pattern for a Stealth Antenna
Stealth airplanes and ships avoid radar detection by optimizing the shape of surfaces to reflect away from the radar source or absorb its energy. Yet, if a ship or aircraft’s antenna for communication purposes is to operate properly, it cannot be completely covered up. This makes it one ... Read More
Control of Joule Heating Extends Performance and Device Life
Large electrical systems carrying high currents could pose a danger if any of their components, such as fuses and bus bars, fail. In order to increase safety and improve manufacturing, it is necessary to understand the failure mechanisms of those components. One of those components, a ... Read More
HPC-Enabled Simulation Aids in the Design of Customized High-Power Electrical Devices
Engineers at Block Transformatoren-Elektronik design custom coiled products, including transformers, power supplies, EMC filters, and reactors. Their products meet exact specifications regarding working frequency, product size, weight, electrical power losses, electrical insulation, and ... Read More
