The Stability

Lateral instability is inherent in power transistors structures, consisting of several simple transistors connected in parallel. The large number of transistor elements complicates the analysis of such instability. The introduction of suppressing resistors makes it possible to prevent the occurrence of lateral oscillations, however there are no unambiguous criteria for achieving stability this way. The matter is further complicated by the fact that transistor exhibits nonlinear operation in a typical amplifier stage, and the operating conditions in many cases correspond to a relatively wide range of frequencies. In this paper, we present an analysis of lateral instability of a power amplifier stage, created on a basis of modern GaN field-effect transistor (FET). We had designed all dies and circuits for this FET. The main feature of the analysis is that we carried it out in the time domain, which made possible to estimate the stability of the stage not only under the excitation power pulse, but also after the end of the pulse. Our approach makes it possible to assess the stability of the amplifier between the excitation pulses, which is very important from the operational point of view. We calculated the estimates of operational stability and stability factor using a simplified transistor model, with the multi-element model reduced to a two-element model. Nevertheless, the results of the estimates retain their significance in real conditions, when the introduction of suppressing resistors creates a significant margin of stability, including the actual operating frequency band of the stage. To date, the data we have obtained after the manufacture of the samples only partially confirms the calculated estimates, due to the complexity of managing the experimental studies. However, there are no recorded results, which deny our estimates for the model.

The Magnetic Field

A wide range of astrophysical objects, such as the Sun, galaxies, stars, planets, accretion discs etc., have large-scale magnetic fields. Their generation is often based on the dynamo mechanism, which is connected with joint action of the alpha-effect and differential rotation. They compete with the turbulent diffusion. If the dynamo is intensive enough, the magnetic field grows, else it decays. The magnetic field evolution is described by Steenbeck—Krause—Raedler equations, which are quite difficult to be solved. So, for different objects, specific two-dimensional models are used. As for thin discs (this shape corresponds to galaxies and accretion discs), usually, no-z approximation is used. Some of the partial derivatives are changed by the algebraic expressions, and the solenoidality condition is taken into account as well. The field generation is restricted by the equipartition value and saturates if the field becomes comparable with it. From the point of view of mathematical physics, they can be characterized as stable points of the equations. The field can come to these values monotonously or have oscillations. It depends on the type of the stability of these points, whether it is a node or focus. Here, we study the stability of such points and give examples for astrophysical applications.

Novel Method

The accuracy of a finite element model for design and analysis of a metal forging operation is limited by the incorporated material model’s ability to predict deformation behavior over a wide range of operating conditions. Current rheological models prove deficient in several respects due to the difficulty in establishing complicated relations between many parameters. More recently, artificial neural networks (ANN) have been suggested as an effective means to overcome these difficulties. To this end, a robust ANN with the ability to determine flow stresses based on strain, strain rate, and temperature is developed and linked with finite element code. Comparisons of this novel method with conventional means are carried out to demonstrate the advantages of this approach.

The accuracy of a finite element model for design and analysis of a metal forging operation is limited by the incorporated material model’s ability to predict deformation behavior over a wide range of operating conditions. Current rheological models prove deficient in several respects due to the difficulty in establishing complicated relations between many parameters. More recently, artificial neural networks (ANN) have been suggested as an effective means to overcome these difficulties. In the present work, a previously developed ANN with the ability to determine flow stresses based on strain, strain rate, and temperature is incorporated with finite element code. Utilizing this linked approach, a preliminary model for forging an aluminum wheel is developed. This novel method, along with a conventional approach, is then measured against the forging process as it is currently performed in actual production.

Aircraft Stability And Control

The main objective of the current investigation is to provide a simple procedure to select the controller gains for an aircraft with a largely wide complex flight envelope with different source of nonlinearities. The stability and control gains are optimally devised using genetic algorithm. Thus, the gains are tuned based on the information of a single designed mission. This mission is assigned to cover a wide range of the aircraft’s flight envelope. For more validation, the resultant controller gains were tested for many off-designed missions and different operating conditions such as mass and aerodynamic variations. The results show the capability of the proposed procedure to design a semiglobal robust stability and control augmentation system for a highly maneuverable aircraft such as F-16. Unlike the gain scheduling and other control design methodologies, the proposed technique provides a semi-global single set of gains for both aircraft stability and control augmentation systems. This reduces the implementation efforts. The proposed methodology is superior to the classical control method which rigorously requires the linearization of the nonlinear aircraft model of the investigated highly maneuverable aircraft and eliminating the sources of nonlinearities mentioned above.

AbstractIn the conceptual design phase of a turbocharger, where emphasis is mainly on parametric studies, before manufacturing and tests, a generalized and robust model that implies over a wide range properly, is unavoidable. The critical inputs such as compressor maps are not available during the conceptual design phase. Hence, generalized compressor models use alternate methods that work without any supplementary tests and can operate on wide range. One of the common and applicable modeling methods in design process is the ‘Dimensionless Modeling’ using the constant coefficient scaling (CCS). This method almost can predict the compressor characteristics at design point. However, at off design conditions, error goes up as mass flow and speed parameters increase. Therefore, the results are not reliable at these points. In this paper, a variable coefficient scaling (VCS) method is described. Then, a centrifugal compressor is modeled using the VCS method. To evaluate the model and compare it with the experimental results, some supplementary experiments are performed. Experimental studies are carried out on the compressor of a S2B model of the Schwitzer turbocharger in the turbocharger Lab., at Sharif University of Technology. The comparison between the experimental results and those obtained by the VCS method indicates a good agreement. It also suggests that the present model can be used as an effective design tool for all operating conditions.

Экспериментально исследуются различные компоновки турбинных ступеней с целью обеспечения многорежимности у осевых малорасходных турбин. Определено, что под многорежимностью понимается способность турбины поддерживать величину КПД неизменной, или с небольшими изменениями в достаточно широком диапазоне изменения внешних нагрузок. С новой точки зрения обращено внимание на то, что наиболее выраженными свойствами многорежимности обладают турбины в состав которых входит вращающийся сопловой аппарат. В этой связи рассмотрены авторские результаты экспериментальных исследований биротативных турбин с большим углом поворота потока и двух-ступенчатых осевых турбин с частичным облопачиванием рабочего колеса. Выявлено, у исследованных биротативных турбин свойство многорежимности проявляется при степени парциальности, близкой к единице и регулируется путем изменения соотношения частот вращения соплового аппарата и рабочего колеса. А у одновальных турбин с частичным облопачиванием рабочего колеса свойство многорежимности проявляется в широком диапазоне изменения степени расширения в турбине также при полном подводе рабочего тела. Various arrangements of turbine stages are experimentally investigated in order to ensure multiplicity of operating levels for axial low-consumption turbines. It has been determined that multiplicity is understood as the ability of a turbine to maintain the efficiency value unchanged, or with small changes in a fairly wide range of external loads. From a new point of view, attention is drawn to the fact that the most marked properties of operating levels multiplicity are relevant to the turbines which include a rotating nozzle diaphragm. In this regard, the author's results of experimental studies of birotative turbines with a large flow angle and two-stage axial turbines with partial blading of the running wheel are considered. It was revealed that in the investigated birotative turbines the property of multiplicity is manifested at a degree of partiality close to 1 and is regulated by changing the ratio of the rotation frequencies of the nozzle diaphragm and the running wheel. And in single-shaft turbines with partial blading of the running wheel, the multiplicity property is manifested in a wide range of changes in the degree of expansion in the turbine, also with full supply of the working fluid.

Aptamers are short single-stranded oligonucleotides which are selected via targeted chemical evolution in vitro to bind a molecular target of interest. The aptamer selection technology is designated as SELEX (Systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment). SELEX enables isolation of oligonucleotide aptamers binding a wide range of targets of interest with little respect for their nature and molecular weight. A number of applications of aptamer selection were developed ranging from biosensor technologies to antitumor drug discovery. First aptamer-based pharmaceutical (Macugen) was approved by FDA for clinical use in 2004, and since then more than ten aptamer-based drugs undergo various phases of clinical trials. From the medicinal chemist’s point of view, aptamers represent a new class of molecules suitable for the development of new therapeutics. Due to the stability, relative synthesis simplicity, and development of advanced strategies of target specific molecular selection, aptamers attract increased attention of drug discovery community. Difficulties of the development of next-generation antibiotics basing on the conventional basis of combinatorial chemistry and high-throughput screening have also amplified the interest to aptamer-based therapeutic candidates. The present article reviews the investigations focused on the development of antibacterial aptamers and discusses the potential and current limitations of the use of this type of therapeutic molecules.

Abstract Currently sluice washing devices are the most common in alluvial gold mining. Their use provides a sufficiently high performance, relatively low power consumption, and acceptable recovery of valuable components. The theoretical provisions of traditional hydraulics make it possible to determine all the main parameters of the movement of particles of rocks and gold in the pulp, however, in real operating conditions of the sluice box, their actual values will differ greatly from the calculated ones, especially if there are solid fractions in the pulp with a particle size of more than 20 mm. This is explained by significant fluctuations in the values of the surface, average and bottom velocities of the two-phase flow, vertical pulsation velocity in conditions of constrained movement of the different fractional composition of rocks. The article presents the results of experimental studies to identify the dependence of the distance traveled by an individual gold particle and host rocks in a two-phase flow through a sluice, the bottom of which is lined with trapping coatings, on the design and technological parameters of the flushing device. The mathematical model for determining this distance formed the basis of the Gold Enriching program. The program allows, in a wide range of initial data, to determine the zones of concentration of gold of a certain size at the sluice boxes.

This paper concerns the stability issue of pump-controlled single-rod cylinders, known as mode switching. First, a review of the topic is provided. Thereafter, the most recently proposed solution for the elimination of mode switching is investigated and shown to result in unstable behavior under certain operating conditions. A theoretical analysis is provided demonstrating the underlying mechanisms of this behavior. Based on the analysis, a novel control strategy is proposed and investigated numerically. Proper operation and stability are demonstrated for a wide range of operating conditions, including situations under which the most recently proposed solution results in unstable behavior and loss of control over the actuator.
