Rotor-bearing systems take an important place in engineering applications and are used in many industrial systems: gas turbines, compressors, jet engines, machine-tool spindles, etc. The spindle is an essential component of manufacturing systems involving ...
In this work we have investigated the functioning of high resistivity amorphous silicon and silicon-rich nitride layers as a protection against discharges in Micro-Patterned Gaseous Detectors (MPGDs). When the anode is protected by a high resistivity layer ...
The complex three-dimensional unsteady flow developing in the draft tube of a Francis turbine is responsible for pressure fluctuations, which could prevent the whole hydropower plant from operating safely. Indeed, the Francis draft tube is subjected to inl ...
A saddle coil manufactured by electric discharge machining (EDM) from a solid piece of copper has recently been realized at EPFL for Dynamic Nuclear Polarization enhanced Nuclear Magnetic Resonance experiments (DNP-NMR) at 9.4 T. The corresponding electrom ...
In the frame of this thesis, two similar high current DC arc (HCDCA) plasma sources were investigated in a low gas pressure regime (10-3-10-2 mbar). One of them was initially designed for the epitaxial growth of silicon and silicon germanium (LEP), the oth ...
Electrical Discharge Machining (EDM) is a well-known machining technique since more than fifty years. Its principle is to use the eroding effect on the electrodes of successive electric spark discharges created in a dielectric liquid. EDM is nowadays widel ...
Electrostatic discharge in quartz watches is becoming more and more important due to the use of plastic materials and tactile sensors. The discharge can lead to different type of dysfunction such as a simple reset, a latch-up, or the destruction of the ele ...
Analysis of the type-l ELM power load asymmetries using infra-red thermography and target current measurements is performed ASDEX Upgrade Upper Single Null and JET DOC-L type-I ELMy H-Mode discharges with 'normal' and,reversed' field direction, i.e. with t ...
Dielectric Barrier Discharges (DBD) have been used for more than a century, especially for ozone production. Research conducted within the last twenty years has investigated the discharge mechanisms involved and the different discharge regimes observable ( ...
Machining of various electrically non-conductive materials is possible with Spark Assisted Chemical Engraving (SACE). Even though this technology presents several interesting properties like simplicity, flexibility and the possibility to obtain very smooth ...
