Comparative Study On Double-Rotor Pm Brushless Motors With Cylindrical And Disc Type Slot-Less Stator, Pavani Gottipati Jan 2007

Comparative Study On Double-Rotor Pm Brushless Motors With Cylindrical And Disc Type Slot-Less Stator, Pavani Gottipati

LSU Master's Theses

Among brushless permanent magnet machines, the torus motors (also called Axial Flux Double-Rotor Permanent Magnet (AFTR PM) motors) are most compact and highly efficient. A cylindrical counterpart of this motor is a newly proposed Radial Flux Double-Rotor Permanent Magnet (RFTR PM) motor. The objectives of this thesis are to optimize the magnetic circuit of both AFTR PM and RFTR PM motors and to compare their electromechanical parameters on the basis of the results obtained from magnetic field simulation using Finite Element Method (FEM). To reach these objectives, FEM models are developed for both the motors, for particular given data. Applying …


Study Of Demolding Process In Thermal Imprint Lithography Via Numerical Simulation And Experimental Approaches, Zhichao Song Jan 2007

Study Of Demolding Process In Thermal Imprint Lithography Via Numerical Simulation And Experimental Approaches, Zhichao Song

LSU Master's Theses

The objective of present study was to analyze the mechanical behavior of polymer resist during the demolding process, such as stress distribution and evolution; distortion and tilt of microstructures in thermal imprint lithography, a new emerging technique in mass production of micro/nanoscale patterns. One of the most challenging technical issues for thermal imprint lithography is the structural damages during demolding process. Thermal stress, adhesion force and friction force all play important roles in determination of the success of demolding and it is crucial to understand the underlying physics in order to optimize the structure and process design. In present study, …
