This paper presents the construction and test results of an HTS induction motor. End rings and short bars were made of HTS tapes, To increase the efficiency and starting torque, HTS tapes can be used as the rotor bars. Because large current is induced in the rotor circuit, HTS tapes quench and high starting torque can be obtained. As the speed of rotor builds up. HTS tapes which are used as short bars become superconducting state again. After the HTS tapes recover from quench, resistance of the rotor circuit is nearly zero. In that case, power loss in rotor circuit is eliminated. Stator of the conventional induction motor was used as the stator of the HTS motor. Rated capacity of the conventional motor was 0.75 kW. Performances of the HTS induction motor were compared with those of the conventional motor with same volume and specification. Test result showed that the speeds of the HTS induction motor were the same with synchronous speed up to 2.6 Nm and 1.788 rpm at 9.7 Nm. It guarantees the high efficiency of the HTS motor. Starting torque of the HTS motor was more than twice of the conventional motor.

The object of this study is to develop a mathematical model of the hemodialysis system including the mechanism of solute kinetics, water exchange and also cardiovascular dynamics. The cardiovascular system model used in this study simulates the short-term transient and steady-state hemodynamic responses such as hypotension and disequilibrium syndrome (which are main complications to hemodialysis patients) during hemodialysis. It consists of a 12 lumped-parameter representation of the cardiovascular circulation connected to set-point models of the arterial baroreflexes, a kinetic model (hemodialysis system model) with 3 compartmental body fluids and 2 compartmental solutes. We formulate mathematically this model in terms of an electric analog model. All resistors and most capacitors are assumed to be linear. The control mechanisms are mediated by the information detected from arterial pressoreceptors, and they work on systemic arterial resistance, heart rate, and systemic venous unstressed volume. The hemodialysis model includes the dynamics of urea, creatinine, sodium and potassium in the intracellular and extracellular pools as well as fluid balance equations for the intracellular, interstitial, and plasma volumes. Model parameters are largely based on literature values. We have presented the results on the simulations performed by changing some model parameters with respect to their basal values. In each case, the percentage changes of each compartmental pressure, heart rate (HR), total systemic resistance (TSR), ventricular compliance, zero pressure filling volume and solute concentration profiles are represented during hemodialysis.

The progressive collapse phenomenon is generally regarded as dynamic. Due to the impracticality of nonlinear dynamic computations for practitioners, an interest arises for the development of equivalent static pushover procedures. The present paper proposes a methodology to identify such a procedure for sudden column removals, using energetic evaluations to determine the pushover loads to apply. In a dynamic context, equality between the cumulated external and internal works indicates a vanishing kinetic energy. If such a state is reached, the structure is sometimes assumed able to withstand the column removal. Approximations of these works can be estimated using a static computation, leading to an estimate of the displacements at the zero kinetic energy configuration. In comparison with other available procedures based on such criteria, the present contribution identifies loading patterns to associate with the zero-kinetic energy criterion to avoid a single-degree-of-freedom idealisation. A parametric study over a family of regular steel structures of varying sizes uses non-linear dynamic computations to assess the proposed pushover loading pattern for the cases of central and lateral ground floor column failure. The identified quasi-static loading schemes are shown to allow detecting nearly all dynamically detected plastic hinges, so that the various beams are provided with sufficient resistance during the design process. A proper accuracy is obtained for the plastic rotations of the most plastified hinges almost independently of the design parameters (loads, geometry, robustness), indicating that the methodology could be extended to provide estimates of the required ductility for the beams, columns, and beam-column connections.

Traditional security model design presents two primary issues. First, these models have been developed and implemented with a technology-centered approach rather than considering human factors. Such structures can be undermined by cognitive vulnerabilities like psychological resistance within organizations and user errors. Second, these models are typically designed based on network perimeter security. This design is unsuitable for the boundary-less remote work environments rapidly becoming prevalent due to the Fourth Industrial Revolution and the COVID-19 pandemic. This paper proposes an approach to address these limitations by integrating human-centered threats within the Zero Trust security model, a state-of-the-art boundary-less security framework. By doing so, we suggest a robust security model design that can protect against both technical and human-centered threats.

Superconducting synchronous motors and generators have the field coil composed of superconductor with almost zero resistance at superconducting state. Therefore, copper loss at the conventional field coil is eliminated and the superconducting machine gets higher efficiency. The armature coil of the superconducting machine is composed of copper wire and supported by non-magnetic material such as FRP (Fiber Reinforced Plastic) This paper contains the design Procedure of a 1MW superconducting synchronous motor using high-temperature superconductor only for the field coil. Especially, the armature coil is designed by water-cooling in order to dissipate Joule heat easily. Moreover, 3-dimensional electromagnetic design is conducted to get a proper design result and reduce design errors from 2-dimensional approach.

In this paper, we propose an adaptive sliding mode observer-based control of induction motors with uncertainties. The proposed adaptive sliding mode flux observer generates estimates both for the unknown parameters(load torque and rotor resistance) and for the unmeasured state variable (rotor fluxes); they converge to the corresponding true value under persistency of excitation which actually holds in typical operating conditions. The proposed controller guarantees speed tracking and bounded signals for every initial condition of the motor. Simulations show that all estimation errors tend quickly to zero so that high tracking performances are achieved both for speed and rotor flux.

High temperature silicon carbide Schottky diode was fabricated with Au deposited on poly 3C-SiC thin film grown on p-type Si(100) using atmospheric pressure chemical vapor deposition. The charge transport mechanism of the diode was studied in the temperature range of 300 K to 550 K. The forward and reverse bias currents of the diode increase strongly with temperature and diode shows a non-ideal behavior due to the series resistance and the interface states associated with 3C-SiC. The charge transport mechanism is a temperature activated process, in which, the electrons passes over of the low barriers and in turn, diode has a large ideality factor. The charge transport mechanism of the diode was analyzed by a Gaussian distribution of the Schottky barrier heights due to the Schottky barrier inhomogeneities at the metal-semiconductor interface and the mean barrier height and zero-bias standard deviation values for the diode was found to be 1.82 eV and $s_0$=0.233 V, respectively. The interface state density of the diode was determined using conductance-frequency and it was of order of $9.18{\times}10^{10}eV^{-1}cm^{-2}$.

In this study, friction angles on the surface of vertical rigid ground anchor in normally consolidated dry sand were measured by model pullout tests in laboratory. Friction angles were obtained from the normal and shear stresses measured along depth of the anchor stir face by attaching several 2-dimensional load cells. Model tests were conducted under the plane strain state and axial symmetric state. From the results of tests, it was concluded that the maximum friction angle on the anchor surface coincides nearly with the maximum angle of stress obliquity on the plane of zero-extension direction obtained by plane strain compression test. This result was made with regard to the strength anisotropy and stress dependency of sand. It showed that when angle of shear resistance of the sand is applied to the friction angle of the anchor surface, the design capacity could be less than the applied force, thus making the anchor unsafe.

In this article, Pb₂Ba_1.7Sr_0.3Ca₂Cu₃O_10+δ superconductor material was synthesized using conventional solid-state reaction method. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis demonstrated one dominant phase 2223 and some impurities in the product powder. The strongest peaks in the XRD pattern were successfully indexed assuming a pseudo-tetragonal cell with lattice constants of a = 3.732, b = 3.733 and c = 14.75 Å for a Pb-Based compound. The crystallite size and lattice strain between the layers of the studied compound were estimated using several methods, namely the Scherrer, Williamson-Hall (W.H), size-strain plot (SSP) and Halder Wagner (H.W) approach. The values of crystallite size, calculated by Scherrer, W.H, SSP and H.W methods, were 89.4540774, 86.658638, 87.7555823 and 85.470086 Å, respectively. Moreover, the lattice strain values obtained by W.H, SSP and H.W methods were 0.0063240, 0.006325 and 0.006, respectively. It was noted that all crystallite size results are consistent; however, the best method is the size-strain plot because it gave a value of R² approaching one. Furthermore, degree of crystallites was calculated and found to be 59.003321%. Resistivity analysis suggests zero-resistance, which is typical of superconducting materials at critical temperature. Four-probe technique was utilized to measure the critical temperature at onset T_c(onset), zero resistivity T_{c(off set)}, and transition (width ΔT), corresponding to temperatures of 128 K, 116 K, and 12 K, respectively.
