Input energy accumulates at a specific rate, and viscous damping dissipates the accumulated input energy at a slower pace. The difference between the two energy time histories at a time t is the vibration energy Ev(t), which is the sum of kinetic and potential energies at time t. Maximum displacement occurs shortly after Ev attains its maximum value during the following cycle when potential energy is maximum and kinetic energy is zero. An efficient damping produces lower Ev, accordingly lower maximum displacement. We choose to define the damping efficiency as the ratio of dissipated energy ED to input energy EI at the time tmax when Ev(t) attains its maximum value for a SDOF system with period T. The influence of earthquake magnitude, fault distance, soil type and fault type on damping efficiency are assessed here under a large set of earthquake ground motions that represent the distribution of such characteristics effectively. A large set of free-field strong motion records are selected from the NGA database. Damping ratio, soil class, distance to epicenter (Repi), moment magnitude (Mw), and fault mechanism are selected as the basic parameters in order to characterize source and site properties of ground motions. Based on the employed GM database, it has been found that damping efficiency is affected most by the earthquake magnitude, soil type, and expectedly by the damping ratio.

Performance optimization of induction motors during voltage-controlled soft starting Zenginobuz, G; Cadirci, I; Ermiş, Muammer; Barlak, C (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2004-06-01) This paper deals with the performance optimization of medium/high-power induction motors during soft starting by eliminating the supply frequency torque pulsations, and by keeping the line current constant at the preset value. Starting torque pulsations are eliminated by triggering back-to-back-connected thyristors at proper points on the first supply voltage cycle. Line current during starting can be kept constant at any preset value by a simple strategy composed of successive cosinusoidal and constant fun...
Efficient integrated DC-DC converters for ultra-low voltage energy harvesters Jayaweera, Herath; Muhtaroğlu, Ali; Sustainable Environment and Energy Systems (2017-8) The self-starting on-chip fully integrated ultra-low voltage DC-DC converters for energy harvesting applications presented in literature generally have low efficiency and output power capacity. Any improvement in DC-DC converter circuits in terms of energy efficiency, output power, self-starting modes, and voltage gain will contribute significantly to the widespread application of energy harvesters. Two novel fully integrated, self-starting, ultra-low voltage DC-DC converter topologies and model based optim...
A discussion on performance parameters for solar-aided absorption cooling systems Ileri, A (1997-04-01) The overall performance of solar-aided heat pumps or air conditioners may be evaluated by first law based efficiency (i.e. COP), or second law based exergy-efficiency (effectiveness). However, it is usually desirable to separately investigate the contribution of solar energy. For this purpose, a parameter called the Fraction of Non-purchased Energy and defined as the ratio of solar originated (i.e. non-purchased) heat input to the total energy input is often used. While this ratio is satisfactory for a heat...
Metamaterial Absorber Based Multifunctional Sensors Sabah, Cumali (The Electrochemical Society, 2016-01-01) In this paper, several important applications of a metamaterial absorber (MA) based sensors such as temperature, pressure, moisture, and density are presented. Since the sensing ability mostly considers the resonance frequency, the frequency range where the resonance shifts occur linearly or non-linearly depending on the temperature, pressure, moisture, and density changes is selected carefully. The model is composed of X shaped resonators (XSR), dielectric substrate, the sensing layer, dielectric substrate...
Efficiency Optimization of a Direct Torque Controlled Induction Motor used in Hybrid Electric Vehicles Sergaki, Eleftheria S.; Moustaizis, Stavros D. (2011-09-10) The main contribution of this paper is the application of Loss Minimization control algorithm of a three-phase squirrel-cage induction motor which is used in parallel with an internal combustion engine (ICE), in hybrid electric vehicles (HEY). During steady state operation of the electric motor, the electric motor's optimal motor flux profile minimizes the electric motor losses and maximizes the overall HEN efficiency, hybridization factor (HF). During steady state operation of the direct torque controlled ...
