  • A 750 KJ sequentially-fired pulse forming network for a helical coil electromagnetic launcher 

    Huenefeldt, Shawn M. (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2006)
    [ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] The design, simulation, and development of a sequentially-fired pulse forming network (SFPFN) to power a large bore helical coil electromagnetic launcher ...

  • Control system design of tape winding machine 

    Zhu, Xuehui (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
    [ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] Tape winding creates a composite structure by the reinforcement of material, and it has been commonly used in industry. However, the operation of a ...

  • Design and simulation of automatic tape winding system 

    Teng, Teng (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
    Based on two-axis manual tape winding machine, this paper describes and developes 3-axis automatic tape winding system. Beginning with motor analysis, discussion on the relationship between motors torque, angular velocity ...

  • High-speed, high-accuracy method for mutual inductance calculations 

    Mueller, David W. (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
    Three methods for calculating the mutual inductance of coils are examined and compared: a finite-element field code analysis method, theoretical analysis method, and F. W. Grover's tabular method. These methods are applied ...

  • Investigation and characterization of a high energy piezoelectric pulse 

    Pinkston, Caroline Susan (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)
    This research investigates and characterizes a high energy piezoelectric pulse generator (PPG) constructed from commercially available piezoelectric materials. The high energy PPG converts mechanical energy into electrical ...

  • Investigation of the accuracy of Grover's method when solving for the mutual inductance of two single-layer coaxial coils 

    Rohe, Stacy (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2005)
    In 1933 Grover introduced a convenient method of calculating the mutual inductance between two single-layer coaxial coils that is still widely accepted as the standard today. He produced tables of numeric values from Clem's ...

  • Magnetoresistance in semiconductor-metal hybrids for power applications 

    Nunnally, Clay (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
    Extraordinary magnetoresistance (EMR) in semiconductor-metal hybrids has been studied exclusively for sensor applications. However, some properties of EMR-based devices are potentially advantageous for power applications. ...

  • Modeling and simulation of a segmented thermoelectric generator 

    Su, Qiuyi (M.S. in Electrical Engineering) (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2017)
    Interest in thermoelectric generators for waste heat recovery has flourished in recent years. Typically, the efficiency of thermoelectric generators (TEGs) is quite low. Investigations are conducted in this thesis to get ...

  • Modeling the behavior of a homopolar motor 

    Belarde, Gianetta Maria (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2008)
    The design, construction, and operating characteristics of a homopolar motor are described in this thesis using both physical experimentation and simulation software. This type of motor converts electrical energy into ...

  • Off grid solar system for profitable energy source in Missouri 

    Ghrimatzion, Nahom (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
    The main purpose of this project is to prove how much a solar system as source of energy could save us a huge amount of money and how it can completely replace the electric utility system in Missouri. Over 80% of today's ...

  • Projectile vibration analysis of an electromagnetic launcher 

    Kontras, Evan A. (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2013)
    [ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] A novel method for the calibration of accelerometers using an electromagnetic launcher (EML) has been investigated by the University of Missouri. The ...

  • Simulation of solar photovoltaic power station 

    Li, Xuqiang (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)
    It is predicted that in the 21st century, solar photovoltaic power generation will occupy an important seat of world energy consumption, and will replace some conventional energy. Solar photovoltaic power station is a kind ...

  • Theory of pulse forming network design for acceleration waveform time domain replication 

    Timpson, Erik Joseph (University of Missouri--Columbia, 2014)
    A Pulse Forming Network (PFN) was built and optimized using an Algorithm based on theory and experimental data. The target load for the PFN was a Helical Electromagnetic Launcher. The target application of the launcher is ...
