High power applications at high speed create contact problems, increase heat sink values and transmission error (TE) during gear meshing. Hence, analyzing the gear mesh including helix angle effect, the optimization in terms of contact pressure and the transmission error reduction are all crucial for high-speed applications. In this study, meshing characteristics including helix angle based on different approaches, optimization of spur gears pairs in terms of the transmission error and contact stresses obtained from improved analytical method besides transmission design tools are all investigated for high-speed aerospace applications. Results reveal that significant transmission error reduction could be achieved by applying tip relief starting from the highest-point of single tooth contact for spur gears in aerospace applications. Hence, the need for higher contact ratio by helix angle inclusion for smoother transmission could be compensated by using tip-relief modified spur gears in gearbox since the heat sink values also need to be minimized by using relatively lower contact ratio. Results obtained from the improved analytical method by directly considering gear geometry including gear foundation effects based on direct deformation-summation approach are found in between AGMA (American Gear Manufacturers Association) standard and ISO (International Organization for Standardization) standard results.

Modeling of Multi Open Phase Fault Condition of Multi-phase Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors
Fei, Marco; Zanasi, Roberto (2011-09-10)
This paper deals with the modeling of multi-phase permanent magnet synchronous motors under multi open phase fault condition. The presented model is suitable for generic number of phases, generic shape of the rotor flux and generic number of open circuit faults. The motor model in fault condition can be used for faults occurring on both adjacent and not adjacent phases. The model can be very useful both for simulation and implementation of fault-tolerant control strategies.
STARTING TRANSIENTS IN SLIP ENERGY RECOVERY INDUCTION-MOTOR DRIVES .2. FLOWCHART AND PERFORMANCE

The first part of this two-part paper described the starting transients of a slip energy recovery IM drive using the rotor rectifier and a single resistor instead of three resistors and an ac circuit breaker. The starting transient was divided into three stages; the first was the resistance starting, the second was the connection of the inverter and the third was the disconnection of the starting resistor. The diode bridge rectifier imposes constraints onto the machine equations; the relevant equations fo...

Rectifier circuits make a large number of higher harmonics in the mains and lower the power factor (PF). To reduce this harmful effect, rectifier circuits with electronic control are introduced. This article presents two Power Factor Correction rectifier circuits: I- and 3 -phase circuits. We present here the method of controlling these rectifiers, that allows to increase the power factor of these rectifiers. In the article we present also an algorithms, that provide this controlling The simulation results ...
