A Novel Mechanical Stress Measurement Method Applied to Wind Turbine Rotor Blades

A.H. Hegab[1], J.P. Kaerst[1]
[1]HAWK, University of Applied Sciences and Arts, Goettingen, Germany

Rotor blades for wind turbines are made of GFRP material. They have to be designed to withstand wind and weather over their approximately 20 years of lifetime. The ability to monitor the mechanical stress is crucial in order to reduce maintenance costs and to maximize operational ... Read More

Microgrippers are typical MEMS devices used to pick, hold and transport micro-objects. Microgrippers are widely used in the field of micro-assembly, micro-surgery and manipulation of micro-particles. Thermal microgrippers are widely used for large displacement, high accuracy and ... Read More

Three-Dimensional Numerical Study of the Flow Past a Magnetic Obstacle

M. Rivero[1], O. Andreev[2], A. Thess[3], S. Cuevas[4], T. Fröhlich[1]
[1]Institute of Process Measurement and Sensor Technology, Ilmenau University of Technology, Ilmenau, Germany
[2]Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf e. V., Institut für Sicherheitsforschung Abteilung Magnetohydrodynamik, Dresden, Germany
[3]Institute of Thermodynamics and Fluid Mechanics, Ilmenau University of Technology, Ilmenau, Germany
[4]Instituto de Energías Renovables, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, Temixco, Morelos, México

Flows of electrically conducting liquids in external magnetic fields are present in several applications. In this kind of flow, the inhomogeneous magnetic field creates a breaking force on the conducting fluid. As a result, a stagnant zone is formed in the zone affected by the localized ... Read More

Finite Element Modeling for Inspection of CANDU® Steam Generators

S. G. Mokros[1], P. R. Underhill[2], J. Morelli[1], T. W. Krause[2]
[1]Department of Physics, Engineering Physics & Astronomy, Queen's University, Kingston, ON, Canada
[2]Department of Physics, Royal Military College of Canada, Kingston, ON, Canada

Steam generators (SGs) are used in CANDU® nuclear reactors as heat exchangers to convert water into steam using heat generated in the reactor core. Ferrous trefoil broach support structures prevent excessive vibration of thousands of SG tubes. A probe that uses pulsed eddy current (PEC) ... Read More

INTRODUCTION: Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS) are fabricated with an in-plane fabrication technology. Out-of-plane structures can be designed to be assembled to provide thermal and electrical isolation from the substrate [1 -3]. These isolations can potentially improve the ... Read More

Design and Analysis of a Three-DOF Piezoelectric Vibration Energy Harvester

R. T. P. Reddy [1], X. Xiong [2], J. Hu [3],
[1] University of Bridgeport, Bridgeport, CT, USA
[2] Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of Bridgeport, Bridgeport, CT, USA
[3] Department of Mechanical Engineering, University of Bridgeport, Bridgeport, CT, USA

Introduction: Vibration energy harvester can convert mechanical vibration energy into electrical energy and store it in battery for later use. It can create clean renewable energy from vibration movements such as walking, jumping, running, etc. This can convert energy previously wasted ... Read More

Phase Decomposition for Loudspeaker Analysis

R. Christensen [1],
[1] GN ReSound A/S, Copenhagen, Denmark

The vibration of an electrodynamic loudspeaker driver causes a resulting sound pressure. For simple pistonic vibration, there is a simple relationship between the vibration and the sound pressure. For complex vibration patterns, however, different parts of the vibrating surface ... Read More

Simulating Superconductors in AC Environment: Two Complemetary COMSOL Models
