The study in this paper investigates whether the air gap harmonics can be identified by using an external search coil placed on the frame of an induction motor. For this purpose the study focuses on the prediction of rotor speed of an induction motor from external search coil emf, using spectral analysis techniques. In the first stage of the study the type of search coil which maximizes the induced emf is sought, also the position of the coil on the induced emf is investigated. Several motors are tested with a sinusoidal supply as well as a PWM inverter power supply and the search coil voltage is sampled. FFT analysis of the recorded data is performed in Matlab environment. An algorithm is developed for identifying the rotor speed using the FFT analysis results. It is shown that the developed algorithm is capable of predicting the motor speed under various load conditions and motor speeds. The speed estimation accuracy of this approach is also discussed. In short, this paper illustrates that the induced emf in an external search coil contains information on air gap harmonics, and these harmonics can be identified even when the motors are supplied with a PWM inverter.

Ultra-fast charge exchange spectroscopy for turbulent ion temperature fluctuation measurements on the DIII-D tokamak (invited) Uzun Kaymak, İlker Ümit; McKee, G. R. (2012-10-01) A novel two-channel, high throughput, high efficiency spectrometer system has been developed to measure impurity ion temperature and toroidal velocity fluctuations associated with long-wavelength turbulence and other plasma instabilities. The spectrometer observes the emission of the n = 8-7 hydrogenic transition of C+5 ions (lambda(air) = 529.06 nm) resulting from charge exchange reactions between deuterium heating beams and intrinsic carbon. Novel features include a large, prism-coupled high-dispersion, v...
Development of high performance uncooled infrared detector materials Kebapçı, Başak; Akın, Tayfun; Turan, Raşit; Department of Micro and Nanotechnology (2011) This thesis reports both the optimizations of the vanadium oxide (VOx) thin film as an active infrared detector material by the magnetron sputtering deposition method and its use during fabrication of proper resistors for the microbolometers. Vanadium oxide is a preferred material for microbolometers, as it provides high TCR value, low noise, and reasonable resistance, and a number of high-tech companies have used this material to obtain state-of-the-art microbolometer arrays. This material is first used in...
Transient response of an infinite elastic medium containing a spherical cavity subjected to torsion Zakout, U; Akkas, Z; Tupholme, GE (2000-06-01) An exact closed-form solution is obtained for the transient response of an infinite isotropic elastic medium containing a spherical cavity subjected to torsional surface loading using the residual variable method. The main advantage of the present approach is that it eliminates the computational problems arising in the existing methods which are primarily based on Fourier or Laplace transformation techniques. Extensive numerical results for the circumferential displacements and shear stresses at various loc...
Bilateral CMUT Cells and Arrays: Equivalent Circuits, Diffraction Constants, and Substrate Impedance KÖYMEN, Hayrettin; ATALAR, ABDULLAH; Tasdelen, A. Sinan (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2017-02-01) We introduce the large-signal and small-signal equivalent circuit models for a capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducer (CMUT) cell, which has radiating plates on both sides. We present the diffraction coefficient of baffled and unbaffled CMUT cells. We show that the substrate can be modeled as a very thick radiating plate on one side, which can be readily incorporated in the introduced model. In the limiting case, the reactance of this backing impedance is entirely compliant for substrate materials w...
Acoustic radiation from a fluid-filled, subsurface vascular tube with internal turbulent flow due to a constriction Yazıcıoğlu, Yiğit; Spohnholtz, Todd; Martin, Bryn; Loth, Francis; Bassiouny, Hisham S. (Acoustical Society of America (ASA), 2005-08-01) The vibration of a thin-walled cylindrical, compliant viscoelastic tube with internal turbulent flow due to an axisymmetric constriction is studied theoretically and experimentally. Vibration of the tube is considered with internal fluid coupling only, and with coupling to internal-flowing fluid and external stagnant fluid or external tissue-like viscoelastic material. The theoretical analysis includes the adaptation of a model for turbulence in the internal fluid and its vibratory excitation of and interac...
