Recently developed self-consistent models for beam-wave interaction simulations of a gyrotron oscillator are used to study spurious backward-wave instabilities in smooth-wall metallic beam ducts. Starting from a simple case with a basic geometry, the influ ...
Understanding patterns of variation from raw measurement data remains a central goal of shape analysis. Such an understanding reveals which elements are repeated, or how elements can be derived as structured variations from a common base element. We invest ...
In the context of the development of a 500’000 rpm miniaturized permanent magnet motor, a 3D analytical model for the assessment of mechanical stresses is presented. The significant mechanical stresses and thermal constraints encountered at such speeds are ...
In the present thesis, we delve into different extremal and algebraic problems arising from combinatorial geometry. Specifically, we consider the following problems. For any integer n≥3, we define e(n) to be the minimum positive integer such that an ...
The stress and strain relationship in the gauge region of six cruciform geometries is studied: the ISO standard geometry with slits in arms, two geometries with thinned gauge areas, two geometries with thinned gauge areas and slits in arms, and one modifie ...
