Performance of hysteretic magnetostrictive transducers can be affected by a variable applied stress if its magnitude is comparable with the mechanical pre-stress. Aim of this paper is to present the design of a controller with hysteresis compensation able to take into account the applied stress. The controller is implemented and tested in a real-time setup and compared with standard closed loop PID controller. The proposed approach leads to better performances with respect to stress-independent (classical) compensators.

In the last decade, the study of methodologies for heating biological tissue has been an area of most interest in biology and medicine. As a result, the number of electrode solutions has grown in the past years. In this work, we study the capability of using a tubular electrode for heating biological tissue. To test this possibility, liver samples ex-vivo were used and numerical simulations were made. The final results were compared and revealed satisfactory and promising use of tubular electrodes for this kind of application.

This paper presents an optimization problem formulation to design broadband antennas with optimal impedance matching considering that the source impedance is tunable inside a range. Usually an antenna is designed to match a given source impedance, which can be too constraining. The new optimization problem formulation is introduced to answer a less strict query: which impedance is optimal for the behavior inside a frequency range of a given antenna? The formulation is used to investigate Archimedean spiral antennas.

Direct and inverse analytical models of the switched reluctance motor (SRM) based on finite element method (FEM) results are presented in the paper. The models are obtained using three flux-current characteristics, which can be calculated from 2D-FEM or obtained on a test bench. The models can also be simplified for use in real time control. The model accuracy and versatility in characterizing the SRM behavior have been verified through simulation and test results.

The single-phase BLDCM(Brushless DC Motor) has many defects. This paper compares optimized single-phase BLDCM with existing commercial single-phase BLDCM and develops single-phase BLDCM with high efficiency, satisfying demanded power and torque in pump system. This paper presents the statistical optimum design of single-phase BLDCM for pump system by ANOVA(Analysis of Variance) to select effective design variables, RSM, Kriging and table of orthogonal array. Comparing existing commercial single-phase BLDCM, optimized single-phase BLDCM has better performance in efficiency by 50.6 % with satisfaction to required performance of motor for pump system (speed [1,800 rpm], torque [2 Nmm]).

We study a general critical points dispersion model that gives a systematic approach to time-domain modeling of dispersive dielectric functions including the classical Drude, Lorentz, Sellmeier and critical points models. The approach is implemented using an auxiliary differential equation method and a number of recursive convolution formulations embedded in finite-difference, finite-volume, and finite-element time-domain solvers. Comparisons of simulated reflection-transmission spectra of plasmonic nanostructures are presented.
