Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reviewed different dynamic models for rolling bearing in presence and absence of local and distributed defects and summarized the signal processing techniques used for the improvement of fault detection.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: In this article, the I-V characteristics of an advanced alkaline electrolyser were investigated and the main parameters such as ohmic overpotential, activation overpotentials (at anode and cathode) affecting the performance of the electrolyser was investigated.

Journal ArticleDOI
TL;DR: The results show that the total gains were higher when students used the computer simulation, alone or together with “hands-on” activities, but it is found that thetotal gains obtained depend on the teachers pedagogy when using theComputer simulation to teach the concepts of weight and mass.
