Magneto Rheological Elastomers (MREs) are composite materials based on an elastomer filled by magnetic particles. Anisotropic MRE can be easily manufactured by curing the material under homogeneous magnetic field which creates column of particles. The magnetic and elastic properties are actually coupled making these MREs suitable for energy conversion. From these remarkable properties, an energy harvesting device is considered through the application of a DC bias magnetic induction on two MREs as a metal piece is applying an AC shear strain on them. Such strain therefore changes the permeabilities of the elastomers, hence generating an AC magnetic induction which can be converted into AC electrical signal with the help of a coil. The device is simulated with a Finite Element Method software to examine the effect of the MRE parameters, the DC bias magnetic induction and applied shear strain (amplitude and frequency) on the resulting electrical signal.

AbstractA tight-binding (TB) Hamiltonian is derived for strained silicene from a multi-orbital basis. The derivation is based on the Slater–Koster coupling parameters between different orbitals across the silicene lattice and takes into account arbitrary distortion of the lattice under strain, as well as the first and second-order spin–orbit interactions (SOI). The breaking of the lattice symmetry reveals additional SOI terms which were previously neglected. As an exemplary application, we apply the linearized low-energy TB Hamiltonian to model the current-induced spin accumulation in strained silicene coupled to an in-plane magnetization. The interplay between symmetry-breaking and the additional SOI terms induces an out-of-plane spin accumulation. This spin accumulation remains unbalanced after summing over the Fermi surfaces of the occupied bands and the two valleys, and can thus be utilized for spin torque switching.

This paper deals with a well-known problem of the transient DC-bias current occurring during a phase shift transition in dual active bridge (DAB) DC/DC converters. This phenomenon, if not compensated, can cause damage to the converter or deteriorate its performance. One aim of this paper is to present a solution which allows for the elimination of the undesired transient DC-bias component in current waveforms. This solution is the dual rising edge shift (DRES) compensation algorithm. It provides a very simple implementation and fast settling time within the first half of a switching period. Moreover, the solution is independent on any measurements or system parameter values. It is based on the double-sided single phase shift (DSSPS) modulation, which is described in detail along with a converter model in steady-state. Then, the mechanisms leading to the transient DC-bias are explained, and the compensation algorithm is derived. The performance of the algorithm has been tested using a laboratory prototype. A comprehensive set of tests, involving rapid step changes in power flow and frequency sweep, are provided. Finally, the features of the proposed algorithm are briefly discussed.
