Until now, the preferred solution for MEMS (Micro Electro Mechanical Systems) actuation is the electrostatic one. The main reason is that this kind of actuators can be easily manufactured following the microfabrication rules, as their geometry perfectly fi ...
Ultrasonic motors have received much attention these last years, in particular with regard to their modeling and their design principle. Their operating principle is based on piezoelectric ceramics that convert electrical energy into mechanical energy in t ...
The objective of this Master Project is the modelisation, simulation and optimisation of a mechatronic system with Matlab/Simulink. The mechatronic system comprises the following parts: three-phase Brushless DC motor, driving electronics and mechanics. The ...
Electronic door lock cylinders need some sort of mechanical actuator to toggle the locking state between open and closed. The main requirements are high security standards, low power consumption, reasonable production costs, and facile integration of the a ...
Application of power electronics in variable speed electric drives enables utilization of ac machines with a phase number higher than three. It then becomes possible to use the additional degrees of freedom, available in multi-phase systems, to control oth ...
Training for colonoscopy, which is the examination and treatment of the colon, is often performed on real patients once the physician has passed the novice level. This increases the risk to the patient and lengthens the procedure time. Since a decade ago, ...
In haptics, the forces to be displayed vary widely in terms of magnitude and bandwidth. A single actuator can hardly comply with these requirements. It has thus been proposed to combine electrical motors and passive devices in a hybrid actuator to cover a ...
The paper presents a method to determine hysteresis losses in synchronous permanent magnet (PM) motors. The method comprises four steps: (1) experimental determination of the B-H loop, (2) analytical modeling of the B-H loop by applying different models, ( ...
Since control of a three-phase machine requires only two currents, it is possible to independently control a number of three-phase machines using reduced-switch-count voltage source inverter (VSI) topologies. One such configuration consists of n three-phas ...
Multiphase series-connected motor drives can be supplied from a two-level voltage source inverter (VSI), which has either a prime or a composite number of legs (phases). It has been shown recently that, in the case of a prime number of inverter/machine pha ...
