This paper presents a nondestructive method of testing flood embankment dampness. We used a setup made of specially built laboratory models to determine the moisture level of flood embankments. The proposed algorithm was initialized by using one step methods and topological sensitivity analysis. We constructed the forward model and we solved the inverse problem in order to visualize moisture inside...
In their daily practice, academics frequently face lack of access to modern equipment and devices, which are currently in use on the market. Moreover, many students have problems with understanding issues connected to mechatronics due to the complexity, necessity of abstract thinking and the fact that those concepts are not fully tangible. Many studies indicate that virtual reality can be successfully...
The level of electromagnetic radiation (EMR) exposure increases day by day as natural consequences of technological developments. In recent years, the increasing use of cellular systems has made it necessary to measure and evaluate EMR originating from base stations. In this study, broadband and band selective electric field strength (E) measurements were taken at four different times in order to...
Accurate localization techniques applicable to indoor environments become more and more important for the development of advanced location aware applications, such as for example: in-building guidance, asset tracking in hospitals or warehouses and autonomous robot navigation [1].
This paper presents a modeling approach of a three-phase transformer using the FRA response, the developed model consists of a cascade of parallel RLC cells, the parameters are identified using the FRA data measurements obtained on each transformer phase over a wide frequency range. The proposed model can simulate the frequency behavior of the transformer without need to the coils geometries which...
In this paper the pareto front of flux reversal machines regarding torque, torque-ripple and normal forces is determined. For this reason a fast, but accurate, analytical calculation method is provided. An optimization procedure is given to realize an optimal design for each topology.
The hysteresis motor produces the torque by magnetic hysteresis. The overexcitation for a short period of the hysteresis motor running at synchronous speed reduces the stator current and increases the pull-out torque at the same time. This excellent effect after one-time overexcitation lasts theoretically forever. However, the sudden changes of stator voltage or load torque reduce and vanish it. The...

Electrostatic adhesion force is studied and analysed with emphasis on design parameters of the interdigital electrodes, material properties of dielectric layers and its thickness. From these results two fabrication processes of the electroadhesive foils are studied to reach the highest possible performance. Experimental measurements are carried out to verify the results.
The paper deals with a single-phase induction machine operating as a stand-alone self-excited single-phase induction generator for generation of electrical energy from renewably energy sources. By changing number of turns and size of wires in the auxiliary stator winding, considerable improvement of performance characteristics of the generator were obtained as regards no-load and load voltage of the...

The paper attempts to determine the impact of fuel impurities on the value of fuel energy spark discharge and the wear of spark plug electrode. Spark plugs were analyzed in two typical configurations of the ignition system. For the analyzed systems, a number of tests to determine the wear of spark plug electrode subjected to different types of impurities were conducted. The value of spark discharge...
Electric motors have broad applications in the industrial sector such as water and waste-water pumps, compressors, funs and others. They use about 30%–80% of total industrial energy around the world (e.g. it is expected that 62,500 GWh electricity, or 56% of total output of electricity in Poland, is used to drive equipment). Therefore the cost of energy to operate motors has become a real concern...
In this paper a machine learning algorithm was applied to analyze the integrated data responses of magnetic multi-sensor matrix transducer.
