Angular and positional dependence of Purcell effect for layered metal-dielectric structures (2016)
Journal Article
Gubaydullin, A., Mazlin, V., Ivanov, K., Kaliteevski, M., & Balocco, C. (2016). Angular and positional dependence of Purcell effect for layered metal-dielectric structures. Applied Physics A: Materials Science and Processing, 122(4), Article 425. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00339-016-9875-3

We study the angular dependence of the spontaneous emission enhancement of a dipole source inserted into a layered metal-dielectric metamaterial. We analyse the dependence of Purcell effect from the position of the dipole in the layered hyperbolic me...

Backward waves with double zero-group-velocity points in a liquid-filled pipe (2016)
Journal Article
Cui, H., Lin, W., Zhang, H., Wang, X., & Trevelyan, J. (2016). Backward waves with double zero-group-velocity points in a liquid-filled pipe. The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 139(3), 1179-1194. https://doi.org/10.1121/1.4944046

Hollow cylinders often exhibit backward propagation modes whose group and phase velocities have opposite directions, and these exhibit a minimum possible frequency at which the group velocity vanishes at a nonzero wavenumber. These zero-group-velocit... Read More about Backward waves with double zero-group-velocity points in a liquid-filled pipe.

This paper presents a method for real-time online monitoring of shaft misalignment, which is a common problem in rotating machinery, such as the drive train of wind turbines. A non-contact laser based measurement method is used to monitor positional... Read More about Laser based measurement for the monitoring of shaft misalignment.

T-Type Direct AC/AC Converter Structure (2016)
Journal Article
Khodabandeh, M., Zolghadri, M., Shahbazi, M., & Noroozi, N. (2016). T-Type Direct AC/AC Converter Structure. IET Power Electronics, 9(7), 1426-1436. https://doi.org/10.1049/iet-pel.2015.0151

In this study, a novel T-type topology for single-phase direct AC/AC conversion is proposed. In this topology, frequency changing takes place directly (without common DC voltage bus) through three converters that are connected in a T structure. Unity...

In numerical analysis the failure of engineering materials is controlled through specifying yield envelopes (or surfaces) that bound the allowable stress in the material. However, each surface is distinct and requires a specific equation describing t...
