An analytical approach allowing modelling transient phenomena in pipes, valves, surge tank and Francis turbines based on impedance method is developed. These models are introduced in a software called “SIMSEN”, which simulates the behaviour of complex appl ...
This Ph.D. thesis is focused on the development of novel models for calculation of AC losses, current and magnetic field profiles in high-temperature superconductors (HTS). The thesis is concentrated on the modelling of Bi-2223 conductors at 77 K, which fo ...
Introduces a programming language called MEX. It supports distributed programming, symmetric inter-process communication and synchronization and a virtual time mode. The virtual time mode makes the language suitable for discrete event simulation. MEX has b ...
We describe an approach to construct interactive virtual environments, which are suitable for the development of artificial virtual human life simulations. Our main goal is to have virtual human actors living and working autonomously in virtual environment ...
Nucleation and growth models are well developed for nucleation on homogeneous substrates, and they can typically be described-in terms of three energy parameters. Nucleation on substrates containing point-defect traps has been investigated, at the cost of ...
Interactions between a virtual actor and its virtual environment involve many aspects. An important one is hand interactions. In a virtual scene depicting everyday life, the actor will need to grasp and hold objects, in such a way that both skeleton motion ...
Research and development in the field of electroceramics is driven by technology and device applications. It includes research on a broad spectrum of inorganic materials, and it covers all scales from the level of the crystalline lattice to that of final d ...
Data acquisition systems (DAS) are the basis for building monitoring tools that enable supervision of local and remote systems. Unfortunately, DASs are commonly based on proprietary technologies. The data format usually depends on the industrial process, t ...
The proposed paper describes the modelling and the prediction of the steady- state or transient behaviour of different modern variable-speed drives. The necessity of a performant numerical simulation tool in order to guarantee an optimized design is illust ...
