A research team at FSU CAPS is developing a novel fast disconnect switch based on a piezoelectric actuator for use in next-gen electric power distribution systems. COMSOL Multiphysics® software was used to optimize geometry and material selection of the disconnect switch. Current ... Read More
Helicon Injected Inertial Plasma Electrostatic Rocket (HIIPER) [1] is an advanced space propulsion system being studied in University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. It has been depicted in Figure 1. An experimental setup is already being used to gather dynamics of plasma with the help of ... Read More
The aim of this research is to study the electrostatic properties of heterogeneous media that have fractal geometries. Currently, composite dielectrics are assumed to have regular geometric structures (integer-based dimensions) and an isotopic, homogeneous dielectric permittivity; but, ... Read More
Alternating 200 kHz electric fields ~2 V/cm (Tumor Treating Fields, ‘TTFields’) kill cancer cells by disrupting the delicate orchestration of chromosome spindle formation, but the exact mechanism of action is unknown. The likely suspects are polarized intracellular molecules such as ... Read More
Radio frequency (RF) micro-electro mechanical system (MEMS) switch works in on/off modes controlled by electrostatic forces. In off mode, rough surfaces of electrodes come into a contact. Membrane contact surfaces have complex surface roughness patterns and the mechanical contact problem ... Read More
The Helicon-Injected Inertial Plasma Electrostatic Rocket (HIIPER) is a two-stage electric propulsion system comprising of a helicon plasma source and an inertial electrostatic confinement (IEC) device for plasma production and acceleration, respectively. Several diagnostics such as a ... Read More
Electrothermal actuators are capable of providing larger displacements compared to electrostatic actuators. Four designs for ETC actuators with the same material properties and same dimensions are studied. Read More
Patterned two-dimensional (2D) materials have recently become promising candidates for separation processes in both gaseous and aqueous phases, due to mechanical strength and atomic thickness. Conventional separation technique using 2D materials are limited by the surface charge of 2D ... Read More
Medical accelerators, in particular Cyclotrons, are used to accelerate charged particles to tens of Mega electron Volts (MeV) of energies. These high energy particles then used to produce isotopes for medical application such the system located at king Faisal Specialist Hospital and ... Read More
Abstract High-voltage relays currently used for deep sea applications must be designed for extreme underwater conditions. So, pertinent materials used, and the design procedures adopted are novel, innovative but expensive. Alternatively, the existing high-power electric switches, relays ... Read More
