Electromagnetic Metamaterials: Transmission Line Theory and Microwave Applications: The Engineering Approach By Christophe Caloz, Tatsuo Itoh(auth.)
2005 | 366 Pages | ISBN: 0471669857 | PDF | 12 MB
Electromagnetic metamaterials-from fundamental physics to advanced engineering applications This book presents an original generalized transmission line approach associated with non-resonant structures that exhibit larger bandwidths, lower loss, and higher design flexibility. It is based on the novel concept of composite right/left-handed (CRLH) transmission line metamaterials (MMs), which has led to the development of novel guided-wave, radiated-wave, and refracted-wave devices and structures. The authors introduced this powerful new concept and are therefore able to offer readers deep insight into the fundamental physics needed to fully grasp the technology. Moreover, they provide a host of practical engineering applications. The book begins with an introductory chapter that places resonant type and transmission line metamaterials in historical perspective. The next six chapters give readers a solid foundation in the fundamentals and practical applications: * Fundamentals of LH MMs describes the fundamental physics and exotic properties of left-handed metamaterials * TL Theory of MMs establishes the foundations of CRLH structures in three progressive steps: ideal transmission line, LC network, and real distributed structure * Two-Dimensional MMs develops both a transmission matrix method and a transmission line method to address the problem of finite-size 2D metamaterials excited by arbitrary sources * Guided-Wave Applications and Radiated-Wave Applications present a number of groundbreaking applications developed by the authors * The Future of MMs sets forth an expert view on future challenges and prospects This engineering approach to metamaterials paves the way for a new generation of microwave and photonic devices and structures. It is recommended for electrical engineers, as well as physicists and optical engineers, with an interest in practical negative refractive index structures and materials.Content: Chapter 1 Introduction (pages 1-26): Chapter 2 Fundamentals of LH MTMs (pages 27-58): Chapter 3 TL Theory of MTMs (pages 59-132): Chapter 4 Two?Dimensional MTMs (pages 133-191): Chapter 5 Guided?Wave Applications (pages 192-260): Chapter 6 Radiated?Wave Applications (pages 261-315): Chapter 7 The Future of MTMs (pages 316-346):

1996 | 414 Pages | ISBN: 3527294228 | PDF | 16 MB
Electrochemical processes and methods are basic to many important scientific disciplines, materials science and nanotechnology being only two keywords. For the first time in more than twenty years this volume presents a critical survey of the foundations, methodology and applications of electrochemical phase formation and growth processes. Written by a team of three internationally renowned authors, it is an invaluable source of information for all scientists concerned with electrocrystallization of metals or the in-situ characterization of electron-conducting surfaces.

Electrochemical Nanotechnology: In-situ Local Probe Techniques at Electrochemical Interfaces By
1998 | 328 Pages | ISBN: 3527295208 | PDF | 8 MB
A new window to local studies of interface phenomena at solid state surfaces has been opened by the development of local probe techniques such as Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM) or Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) and related methods during the past fifteen years. The in-situ application of local probe methods in different systems belongs to modern nanotechnology and has two aspects: an analytical aspect and a preparative aspect. The first aspect covers the application of the local probe methods to characterize thermodynamic, structural and dynamic properties of solid state surfaces and interfaces and to investigate local surface reactions. Two methods which are still in the beginning of their development represent the second aspect: tip and cantilever. They can be used to form defined nano-objects such as molecular or atomic clusters, quantum dots etc. as well as to structure or modify solid state surfaces in the nanometer range. This IUPAC monograph is a comprehensive treatment of both aspects and presents the current state of knowledge. It is written for scientists active in the area of nanotechnology.

Electrical Machines Diagnosis By Jean?Claude Trigeassou(auth.)
2011 | 344 Pages | ISBN: 1848212631 | PDF | 16 MB
Monitoring and diagnosis of electrical machine faults is a scientific and economic issue which is motivated by objectives for reliability and serviceability in electrical drives. This book provides a survey of the techniques used to detect the faults occurring in electrical drives: electrical, thermal and mechanical faults of the electrical machine, faults of the static converter and faults of the energy storage unit. Diagnosis of faults occurring in electrical drives is an essential part of a global monitoring system used to improve reliability and serviceability. This diagnosis is performed with a large variety of techniques: parameter estimation, state observation, Kalman filtering, spectral analysis, neural networks, fuzzy logic, artificial intelligence, etc. Particular emphasis in this book is put on the modeling of the electrical machine in faulty situations. Electrical Machines Diagnosis presents original results obtained mainly by French researchers in different domains. It will be useful as a guideline for the conception of more robust electrical machines and indeed for engineers who have to monitor and maintain electrical drives. As the monitoring and diagnosis of electrical machines is still an open domain, this book will also be very useful to researchers.Content: Chapter 1 Faults in Electrical Machines and their Diagnosis (pages 1-22): Chapter 2 Modeling Induction Machine Winding Faults for Diagnosis (pages 23-68): Chapter 3 Closed?Loop Diagnosis of the Induction Machine (page 0): Chapter 4 Induction Machine Diagnosis Using Observers (pages 93-129): Chapter 5 Thermal Monitoring of the Induction Machine (pages 131-166): Chapter 6 Diagnosis of the Internal Resistance of an Automotive Lead?acid Battery by the Implementation of a model Invalidation?based Approach (pages 167-192): Chapter 7 Electrical and Mechanical Faults Diagnosis of Induction Machines Using Signal Analysis (pages 193-225): Chapter 8 Fault Diagnosis of the Induction Machine by Neural Networks (pages 227-270): Chapter 9 Faults Detection and Diagnosis in a Static Converter (pages 271-319):

Electric Drives By Marcel Jufer(auth.)
2010 | 228 Pages | ISBN: 1848212178 | PDF | 9 MB
An electric drive that is designed or adapted to a specific application must take into account all the elements of the chain of constituent elements in its use and deployment. In addition to the motor, the transmission, power electronics, control, sensors, and electrical protection systems must be taken into account.The motor and the transmission can be optimized and designed to obtain the best energy efficiency assessment, in particular for dynamic nodes. An inventory and a characterization of these various components is proposed as part of this book's examination and explanation of the different technology elements, as well as a dynamic model of the system, with the whole system constituting a methodology for integrated electric drive design.Content: Chapter 1 Introduction - Electric Drive Components (pages 1-4): Marcel JuferChapter 2 Driven Bodies (pages 5-14): Marcel JuferChapter 3 Transmission (pages 15-40): Marcel JuferChapter 4 Motors (pages 41-86): Marcel JuferChapter 5 Motors (pages 87-100): Marcel JuferChapter 6 Global Design of an Electric Drive (pages 101-118): Marcel JuferChapter 7 Heating and Thermal Limits (pages 119-136): Marcel JuferChapter 8 Electrical Peripherals (pages 137-148): Marcel JuferChapter 9 Electronic Peripherals (pages 149-158): Marcel JuferChapter 10 Sensors (pages 159-186): Marcel JuferChapter 11 Direct Drives (pages 187-206): Marcel JuferChapter 12 Integrated Drives (pages 207-212): Marcel Jufer
