Conventional linear machine consists of only one stator and one mover. In this paper, a permanent magnet (PM) tubular linear motor with multiple movers is proposed to improve the efficiency of stator field. The outer and inner movers can produce independent motions by interacting with the PM stator. It can be used in large systems requiring multiple driven elements and space saving. The employment of tubular structure helps to reduce the flux leakage and improve the system working efficiency. The design concept and operating principle of the proposed linear machine are introduced. The magnetic field distribution in the machine is formulated by using Laplace's and Poisson's equations of magnetic vector potential. Following that, the modeling of force output for this machine is obtained based on Lorentz law. Numerical computation is also conducted on the flux field. It shows that the derived analytical model fits with the result of finite element analysis (FEA) well.

Many polymer and organic small-molecule thin films crystallize with microstructures that twist or curve in a regular manner as crystal growth proceeds. Here we present a phase-field model that energetically favors twisting of the three-dimensional crystalline orientation about and along particular axes, allowing morphologies such as banded spherulites, curved dendrites, and “s”- or “c”-shaped needle crystals to be simulated. When twisting about the fast-growing crystalline axis is energetically favored and spherulitic growth conditions are imposed, crystallization occurs in the form of banded spherulites composed of radially oriented twisted crystalline fibers. Due to the lack of symmetry, twisting along the normal growth direction leads to heterochiral banded spherulites with opposite twist handedness in each half of the spherulite. When twisting is instead favored about the axis perpendicular to the plane of the substrate and along the normal growth direction under diffusion-limited single-crystalline growth conditions, crystallization occurs in the form of curved dendrites with uniformly rotating branches. We show that the rate at which the branches curve affects not only the morphology but also the overall kinetics of crystallization, as the total crystallized area at a given time is maximized for a finite turning rate.

Iron(II,III) oxide (Fe3O4) nanoparticles have shown great promise in many magnetic-related applications such as magnetic resonance imaging, hyperthermia treatment, and targeted drug delivery. Nevertheless, these nanoparticles are vulnerable to oxidation and magnetization loss under ambient conditions, and passivation is usually required for practical applications. In this work, a home-built rotating fluidized bed (RFB) atomic layer deposition (ALD) reactor was employed to form dense and uniform nanoscale Al2O3 passivation layers on Fe3O4 nanoparticles. The RFB reactor facilitated the precursor diffusion in the particle bed and intensified the dynamic dismantling of soft agglomerates, exposing every surface reactive site to precursor gases. With the aid of in situ mass spectroscopy, it was found that a thicker fluidization bed formed by larger amount of particles increased the residence time of precursors. The prolonged residence time allowed more thorough interactions between the particle surfaces and the precursor gas, resulting in an improvement of the precursor utilization from 78% to nearly 100%, even under a high precursor feeding rate. Uniform passivation layers around the magnetic cores were demonstrated by both transmission electron microscopy and the statistical analysis of Al mass concentrations. Individual particles were coated instead of the soft agglomerates, as was validated by the specific surface area analysis and particle size distribution. The results of thermogravimetric analysis suggested that 5 nm-thick ultrathin Al2O3 coatings could effectively protect the Fe3O4 nanoparticles from oxidation. The x-ray diffraction patterns also showed that the magnetic core crystallinity of such passivated nanoparticles could be well preserved under accelerated oxidation conditions. The precise thickness control via ALD maintained the saturation magnetization at 66.7 emu/g with a 5 nm-thick Al2O3 passivation layer. This good preservation of the magnetic properti

Spherical actuator is a device that can achieve multiple degree-of-freedom (DOF) rotary motions in a single joint. This paper proposes a spherical actuator with approximated dihedral cone shaped rotor. To formulate the magnetic field in three dimensional space, Laplace equation is used. By adding the fundamental terms, a more accurate numerical model is set up. It is validated by FEM results in three directions of spherical coordinate. Based on the magnetic field formulation, optimization of spherical actuator is conducted with respect to air gap distance and rotor shape. The optimized parameters can be the foundation of following prototype design.

A permanent magnet spherical actuator (PMSA) with 3D magnet array is proposed in this paper. The application of 3D magnet array improves the output torque significantly. However, as PMSA is a nonlinear and multivariable system, it is very complicate to realize accuracy control Therefore, an augmented PD algorithm is proposed in this paper. Compared with the simple PD control method, a feedforward term is added into the proposed algorithm to improve the control performance. Euler angles are applied to describe the orientation of rotor. Lagrange equations are utilized to establish the dynamic model of the actuator. As the center of gravity does not coincide with the center of rotor sphere, gravity torque is taken into consideration to enhance the precision of dynamic model The stability of this algorithm is validated with detailed derivation. Simulation model is formulated in Matlab/Simulink. It proves that the proposed algorithm can make the system track the continuous trajectories in high accuracy.

We study the evolution of high-amplitude stress pulses in periodic dissipative laminates taking into account the nonlinear constitutive equations of the components and their dissipative behavior. Aluminum-tungsten laminate was selected due to the large difference in acoustic impedances of components, the significant nonlinearity of the aluminum constitutive equation at the investigated range of stresses, and its possible practical applications. Laminates with different cell size, which controls the internal time scale, impacted by plates with different thicknesses that determine the incoming pulse duration, were investigated. It has been observed that the ratio of the duration of the incoming pulse to the internal characteristic time determines the nature of the high-amplitude dissipative propagating waves—a triangular oscillatory shock–like profile, a train of localized pulses, or a single localized pulse. These localized quasistationary waves resemble solitary waves even in the presence of dissipation: The similar pulses emerged from different initial conditions, indicating that they are inherent properties of the corresponding laminates; their characteristic length scale is determined by the scale of mesostructure, nonlinear properties of materials, and the stress amplitude; and a linear relationship exists between their speed and amplitude. They mostly recover their shapes after collision with phase shift. A theoretical description approximating the shape, length scale, and speed of these high-amplitude dissipative pulses was proposed based on the Korteweg–de Vries equation with a dispersive term determined by the mesostructure and a nonlinear term derived using Hugoniot curves of components.

Searching for narrow-band red-emitting and thermally stable phosphors is the ultimate strategy toward enhanced performance of phosphor converted light emitting diodes (pc-LED). The red emission is assured by the nitride host because of its relatively more covalent character than oxides and sulfides; however, the narrow emission is attributed to crystallographic, morphological, and electronic considerations. The symmetric coordination site ensures equal ligand effect in all direction fits well with the configuration of Eu2+ f orbitals in the excited state, as observed in cuboid nitrides. Further, thermal stability is ascribed not only to suitable bandgap but more specifically, a relatively distant location of the lowest 5d level from the bottom of the conduction band (CB) that consequently entails high energy to quench excited electrons by exciting them further up to the CB. Modes toward the development of new nitride hosts with potentially narrow-band emission have been identified. A viewpoint on light-emitting diode (LED), backlighting, and laser lighting, which remains the most economically-rewarding phosphors application, is presented. Other exciting frontiers, such as agricultural illumination and persistent luminescence, maximize nitride systems that have other properties other than the stringent narrow-band red emission and excellent thermal stability required for the desired improvement of the mainstream LED application.
