Iterative removal of sources to model the turbulent electromotive force

Jennifer Waltraud Schober, Abhijit Bhausaheb Bendre

We describe a novel method to compute the components of dynamo tensors from direct magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) simulations. Our method relies upon an extension and generalization of the standard H & ouml;gbom CLEAN algorithm widely used in radio astronomy to ...

Benchmark study of undrained triaxial testing of Opalinus Clay shale: Results and implications for robust testing

Lyesse Laloui, Alessio Ferrari, Alberto Minardi

Triaxial testing of argillaceous rocks and shales is significantly more challenging than conventional rock mechanical testing. The challenges are mainly related to the very low permeability of these geomaterials, and their sensitivity to exposure of atmosp ...

Active-Device Losses in Resonant Power Converters: A Case Study with Class-E Inverters

Elison de Nazareth Matioli, Remco Franciscus Peter van Erp, Armin Jafari, Palliyage Srilak Nirmana Perera, Jessy Anthony Ançay

Recent research has reported an undesirable OFF-state loss in high-frequency soft-switching power converters, such as resonant converters. This loss is attributed to a hysteresis loss related to the charging-discharging process of the output capacitance of ...

Extended Integrated Force Method for the analysis of prestress-stable statically and kinematically indeterminate structures

Gennaro Senatore, Yafeng Wang

This paper presents a new force method to predict the structural response of statically and kinematically indeterminate systems that can be stabilized through prestress, i.e. prestress-stable structures. This new force method, here named Extended Integrate ...

Improved modelling of a monomorph piezoelectric actuator for linear self-sensing applications

Yves Perriard, Louis Antoine Masson

Based on a previous approach for the modelling of piezoelectric monomorph benders, a new, more complete, analytical model is proposed. Some previously neglected features of the actuator stack, notably the thickness of the electrodes and the presence of iso ...

Cyclic Load-Transfer Approach for the Analysis of Energy Piles

Lyesse Laloui, Melis Sütman

Energy piles, due to their unique roles of coupling the structural support and heat exchange with the surrounding ground, are subject to temperature cycles during their lifetime. Although their behaviour during individual temperature increase or decrease h ...
