Prediction of acoustic noise and vibration of a 24/16 traction switched reluctance machine

This study presents a numerical modelling approach for the prediction of vibration and acoustic noise for a 24/16 traction switched reluctance machine (SRM). The numerical modelling includes the simulation of electromagnetic force in JMAG, the calculation of natural frequencies and the simulation of vibration and acoustic noise in ACTRAN....

Advanced dynamic modeling of three-phase mutually-coupled switched reluctance machine

This paper proposes an advanced dynamic modelling approach of the mutually coupled switched reluctance motor (MCSRM) in the dq reference system that can consider saturation, cross-coupling, and spatial harmonics. Different topologies and their operating principles are investigated and an idealized dq -model considering the inductance harmonics...

Spatial Variability of Subsurface Soil Conditions Causing Roadway Settlements

Settlement of problematic soils constituting the roadway subgrade may result in pavement distress and structural failure, requiring periodic pavement patching and resurfacing. Many of these problems occur as a result of the settlement of soft cohesive and organic soils. Due to the extent of roadway projects and the limited frequency of boring...
