Mapping GNSS Restricted Environment with a Drone Tandem and Indirect Position Control

The problem of autonomously mapping highly cluttered environments, such as urban and natural canyons, is intractable with the current UAV technology. The reason lies in the absence or unreliability of GNSS signals due to partial sky occlusion or multi-path ...

Multiobjective Optimization of Medium-Frequency Transformers for Isolated Soft-Switching Converters Using a Genetic Algorithm

Alfred Rufer, Asier Garcia Bediaga, Irma Villar, Alejandro Rujas

The main challenge of medium-frequency transformers is the number of design parameters, constraints and objectives, and the difficulty of handling them on a particular design. This paper presents a novel computer-aided optimal design for MF transformers us ...

Pull-out behavior of CFRP single-strap ground anchors

Thomas Keller, Anastasios Vassilopoulos, Haifeng Fan

Pull-out experiments were performed on four carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) ground anchors simulating their applications in rock and soil. The CFRP tendons used in these anchors comprise a single-strap end on both the ground and air sides. On the gr ...

An Improved Approach for the Calculation of the Transient Ground Resistance Matrix of Multiconductor Lines

The general integral expressions for the elements of the ground impedance matrix do not have an analytical inverse transform in the time domain. Therefore, the ground transient resistance of a multiconductor line is commonly evaluated in the time domain by ...

Electrically shielded dielectric elastomer actuators for the study of the mechanical perturbation of cardiomyocytes

Herbert Shea, Matthias Imboden, Samuel Rosset, Alexandre Poulin, Etienne de Coulon

We present the development of a mechanically active bioreactor. Using dielectric elastomer actuators (DEA), we are able to mechanically perturb cell cultures in a controlled environment. With tailored pre-strain and compliant electrodes, it is possible to ...

Can Resistive-Type Fault Current Limiter Operate in Cryogen-Free Environment?

Bertrand Dutoit

Superconducting fault current limiters are unique devices that offer fast response to fault without need of an external triggering system. Therefore, they are interesting for industrial use, although their price is high. The principle of the resistive faul ...
