...Haojiong Zhang; Robert G. Landers; Brad A. Miller This paper presents a control methodology that utilizes a robust model reference adaptive control technique to regulate the dynamic behavior of a coned mechanical gas face seal system in a flexibly mounted stator configuration. Individual adaptive...

...Haojiong Zhang; Robert G. Landers; Brad A. Miller A method using reduced-order Kalman filters is developed to estimate the thin gas film axial force and moments in real time for mechanical gas face seal systems in a flexibly mounted stator configuration. First-order Gauss–Markov stochastic models...

...Massimo Rundo; Nicola Nervegna The paper brings to evidence the effect that geometry of the stator ring of variable displacement radial pumps bears on performance characteristics of these units. The type of motion of the stator ring (linear or rotational), the location of the center of rotation...

.... Simulated were various cases, including the response of an ideal motor, which functions perfectly to designer’s specifications, and motors with shorted stator coils, a bad phase capacitor, and broken rotor bars. By constructing an analogy between the motor and a communication channel, Shannon’s theorems...

... include the stator coils, the squirrel cage rotor bars, and the magnetic flux routing section. The final bond graph spans electrical, magnetic, and mechanical energy domains, and contains common motor faults. From this bond graph. state equations were extracted and simulations performed. Simulated were...

... unbalance can be significantly reduced, if not eliminated, through rotor balancing, sensor runout disturbance is unavoidable since it originates from physical nonconcentricity between rotor and stator. Sensor runout is also caused by nonuniform electrical and magnetic properties around the sensing surface...
