Alternate Proof for Steady-State Equivalent Circuit of a Doubly Fed Induction Machine

This letter presents an alternate proof for the steady-state equivalent circuit of a doubly fed induction machine operating at supersynchronous speeds. The spatial orientation of rotating magnetic fields is used to validate the conjugation of rotor side quantities arising in supersynchronous mode. The equivalent circuit is further validated using dynamic simulations of a stand-alone machine.

Electron Beam Surface Treatment. Part I: Surface Hardening of AISI D3 Tool Steel

The effects of electron beam surface hardening treatment on the microstructure and hardness of AISI D3 tool steel have been investigated in this paper. The results showed that the microstructure of the hardened layer consisted of martensite, a dispersion

Análisis de líneas de producción utilizando técnicas tradicionales

Resumen: En el contexto dinámico de producción de los procesos de manufactura modernos, los eventos críticos, que ocasionan inconvenientes, deben ser contemplados en el marco de la planificación y control de producción. Simular el impacto sobre la productividad ocasionado por un evento crítico, capturando la totalidad de los detalles operativos, se vuelve impráctico como herramienta de solución en tiempo real. Esta tarea se simplifica haciendo abstracciones operacionales del proceso mediante funciones analíticas, con lo cual se construye un metamodelo. Este trabajo propone una aplicación del metamodelo que describe el impacto operacional del evento parada de una máquina “clave” (máquina de control numérico computarizado, CNC) que afecta a la performance/productividad de la línea de producción en forma directa al número de partes demoradas e indirecta a las variables de respuesta dinámica. La incorporación de estos metamodelos en la toma de decisiones demuestra aportar una considerable mejora en la planificación del proceso de producción.

(Ti,Al)N Film On Normalized T8 Carbon Tool Steel Prepared By Pulsed High Energy Density Plasma Technique

Under optimized operating parameters, a hard and wear resistant ( Ti,Al)N film is prepared on a normalized T8 carbon tool steel substrate by using pulsed high energy density plasma technique. Microstructure and composition of the film are analysed by x-ray diffraction, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, Auger electron spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy. Hardness profile and tribological properties of the film are tested with nano-indenter and ring-on-ring wear tester, respectively. The tested results show that the microstructure of the film is dense and uniform and is mainly composed of ( Ti,Al)N and AlN hard phases. A wide transition interface exists between the film and the normalized T8 carbon tool steel substrate. Thickness of the film is about 1000 nm and mean hardness value of the film is about 26GPa. Under dry sliding wear test conditions, relative wear resistance of the ( Ti,Al)N film is approximately 9 times higher than that of the hardened T8 carbon tool steel reference sample. Meanwhile, the ( Ti,Al)N film has low and stable friction coefficient compared with the hardened T8 carbon tool steel reference sample.
