Galvanomagnetic Effects And Related Phenonmenon In Semiconductors And Dielectrics In A Radiation Environment, Leroy C. Meyer
Galvanomagnetic Effects And Related Phenonmenon In Semiconductors And Dielectrics In A Radiation Environment, Leroy C. Meyer
Electrical and Computer Engineering ETDs
From Introduction:
In 1878, Hall found that the stream lines of an electric current in a metallic conductor were distorted when the conductor was placed in an external magnetic field. This distortion arises from an electric field set up at right angles to the current and to the magnetic field. The effect is well known in conductors and semiconductors, for both steady state and low frequencies Figure 1-1 illustrates the polarities of the Hall voltage for Ix in the direction of conventional current flow.

Transient Response Of Linear Damped Lumped Spring-Mass Systems By Experimentally Derived Transfer Functions, Ralph W. Kelley
Electrical and Computer Engineering ETDs
In the field of mechanical shock testing, there are many instances where the responsive motions of linear undamped and lightly damped lumped spring-mass systems must be determined. If a model representing the system to be tested is available, it is possible to determine the responsive motion by several different approaches. Most of these methods require solving the differential equation of motion in some manner. Among the more common methods of solving the differential equation are the classical solution, the use of Laplace transforms, and various graphical techniques. All of these methods, however, require that a model of the system under …

Electrical and Computer Engineering ETDs
The purpose of this study is to determine the directional effects of transient gamma radiation on electronic components. An analytic expression will be developed for radiation effect as a function of angle, and experiments will be described which verify the mathematical analysis.

A Mechanical Thevenin Equivalent Circuit Of A Separately Excited D.C. Motor, Hershel R. Lung
Electrical and Computer Engineering ETDs
This problem is concerned with the transient analysis of a DC machine with constant field excitation. By using the generalized circuit concept and Thevenin's Theorem applied to this concept, the transient behavior of this type of machine can be found from an analysis of a lumped circuit model of the machine. The lumped circuit model is a three port device and as such, the terminal equations describing the relationship between the difference and flow signals at the various ports are nonlinear. The nonlinear terms due to the products of signals in the terminal equations can be eliminated by requiring that …

Small Prolate Spheroidal Antenna In A Dissipative Medium., William Troy Cowan
Electrical and Computer Engineering ETDs
A perfectly conducting prolate spheroidal antenna immersed in a conducting medium is analyzed. It is assumed that the dimensions of the spheroid are small compared to a skin depth in the medium. A gain factor for the antenna as a receiver is computed as a function of the spheroid's axis ratio. The prolate spheroid is assumed to be excited by a circular filament of magnetic current located in the plane of the spheroid's minor axes to approximate excitation by a magnetic toroid. Expressions for the antenna's input admittance and effective length are derived. Some experimental results verifying the derivation of …
