  • Thermal Stresses And Cracking In Absorptive Solar Glazing 
    Chowdhury Humayer; Cortie Michael (Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2007)
    The emerging popularity of absorptive, as opposed to reflective, solar glazing coatings on windows has generated renewed interest in thermally-induced cracking of glass structures. Here we analyse the stresses on glass ...
  • Transient performance study of a brushless doubly fed twin stator induction generator 
    Basic Duro; Zhu Jianguo; Boardman Gerard (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2003)
    This paper presents theoretical, simulation, and experimental study of the brushless doubly fed twin stator induction generator (BDFTSIG) dynamics under vector control based on the orientation on the power machine stator ...
  • Transient Simulation And Analysis For Saturated Core High Temperature Superconducting Fault Current Limiter 
    Zhao C; Wang Songnian; Qiu Jie; Zhu Jianguo; Guo Youguang; Gong Wz; Cao Zj (IEEE-inst Electrical Electronics Engineers Inc, 2007)
    In this paper, the transient performance of a magnetic core fault current limiter (FCL) saturated by high temperature superconducting (HTS) dc bias winding is investigated by using both 3-D field-circuit coupled simulation ...
