TL;DR: The history and trends of magnetic materials used in electrical machines and motors, as well as amorphous and nanocrystalline magnetic materials and soft magnetic composites, are presented.
Abstract: This paper gives an overview on the history and trends of magnetic materials used in electrical machines and motors. The presented materials include silicon–iron, nickel–iron, and cobalt–iron lamination steels, as well as amorphous and nanocrystalline magnetic materials and soft magnetic composites. Development trends and current usage of these selected materials are presented, giving an outlook on the new magnetic material research with regard to electrical machine applications.

01 Jan 2001TL;DR: The aim of this work is to provide both an overview on algebraic lattice code designs for Rayleigh fading channels, as well as a tutorial introduction to algebraic number theory.
Abstract: Algebraic number theory is having an increasing impact in code design for many different coding applications, such as single antenna fading channels and more recently, MIMO systems. Extended work has been done on single antenna fading channels, and algebraic lattice codes have been proven to be an effective tool. The general framework has been settled in the last ten years and many explicit code constructions based on algebraic number theory are now available.The aim of this work is to provide both an overview on algebraic lattice code designs for Rayleigh fading channels, as well as a tutorial introduction to algebraic number theory. The basic facts of this mathematical field will be illustrated by many examples and by the use of a computer algebra freeware in order to make it more accessible to a large audience.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors deal with the formulation of finite plate elements for an accurate description of stress and strain fields in multilayered, thick plates subjected to static loadings in the linear, elastic cases.
Abstract: This paper deals with the formulation of finite plate elements for an accurate description of stress and strain fields in multilayered, thick plates subjected to static loadings in the linear, elastic cases. The so-called zig-zag form and interlaminar continuity are addressed in the considered formulations. Two variational statements, the principle of virtual displacements (PVD) and the Reissner mixed variational theorem (RMVT) are employed to derive finite element matrices. Transverse stress assumptions are made in the framework of RMVT and the resulting finite elements describe a priori interlaminar continuous transverse shear and normal stresses. Both modellings which preserve the number of variables independent of the number of layers (equivalent single-layer models, ESLM) and layer-wise models (LWM) in which the same variables are independent in each layer, have been treated. The order N of the expansions assumed for both displacement and transverse stress fields in the plate thickness direction z as well as the number of element nodes Nn have been taken as free parameters of the considered formulations. By varying N, Nn, variable treatment (LW or ESL) as well as variational statements (PVD and RMVT), a large number of newly finite elements have been presented. Finite elements that are based on PVD and RMVT have been called classical and advanced, respectively.
In order to write the matrices related to the considered plate elements in a concise form and to implement them in a computer code (see Part 2), extensive indicial notations have been set out. As a result, all the finite element matrices have been built from only five arrays that were called fundamental nuclei (four are related to RMVT applications and one to PVD cases). These arrays have 3×3 dimensions and are therefore constituted of only nine terms each. The different formulations are then obtained by expanding the indices that were introduced for the N-order expansion, for the number of nodes Nn and for the constitutive layers Nl. Compliances and/or stiffness are accumulated from layer to multilayered level according to the corresponding variable treatment (ESLM or LWM). The numerical evaluations and assessment for the presented plate elements have been provided in the companion paper (Part 2), where it has been concluded that it is convenient to refer to RMVT as a variational tool to formulate multilayered plate elements that are able to give a quasi-three-dimensional description of stress/strain fields in multilayered thick structures.

TL;DR: The first directional point-contact spectroscopy experiments in high-quality MgB2 single crystals are presented, with a consequent, strong reduction of the error on the value of the gap amplitude as a function of temperature allowing a stricter test of the predictions of the two-band model for M gB2.
Abstract: We present the results of the first directional point-contact spectroscopy experiments in high-quality MgB2 single crystals. Because of the directionality of the current injection into the samples, the application of a magnetic field allowed us to separate the contributions of the sigma and pi bands to the total conductance of our point contacts. By using this technique, we were able to obtain the temperature dependency of each gap independent of the other. The consequent, strong reduction of the error on the value of the gap amplitude as a function of temperature allows a stricter test of the predictions of the two-band model for MgB2.
