Improved bandwidth low-profile miniaturized multi-arm logarithmic spiral antennaZhu, Shaozhen (Sharon), Ghazaany, Tahereh S., Abd-Alhameed, Raed, Jones, Steven M.R., Noras, James M., Suggett, T., Van Buren, T., Marker, S. January 2014 (has links)
No / A low-profile (λ/43) miniaturized multi-element antenna is presented, which displays vertical polarization with an omni-directional radiation pattern. The antenna uses a logarithmic spiral shape as the main radiating element such that the impedance bandwidth of the antenna is much improved in comparison with both a strip-line square spiral design and a strip-line circular spiral design. The antenna demonstrates stable gain and useful efficiency over the operating frequency band. Significantly, the antenna provides a low profile, omnidirectional pattern in the azimuth plane, polarizes normal to the ground-plane with a 1.2% bandwidth and 0.5 dBi gain.

Konstrukční optimalizace dílu pro tepelný spínač / Structural optimization of the heat switch partZemek, Albert January 2020 (has links)
This diploma thesis deals with the design of a structure for heat transfer path of miniaturized heat switch. The focus is on production using SLM additive technology. The aim is to assess the possibilities of using metal 3D printing on a part intended primarily for heat transfer. This work presents several concepts of structure arrangement, which are further analysed and evaluated. The results show the potential of additive technologies in this area and the proposed structures meet the heat transfer requirement according to the calculations used.

Mechanical Behaviour of Gas Turbine CoatingsEskner, Mats January 2004 (has links)
Coatings are frequently applied on gas turbine components inorder to restrict surface degradation such as corrosion andoxidation of the structural material or to thermally insulatethe structural material against the hot environment, therebyincreasing the efficiency of the turbine. However, in order toobtain accurate lifetime expectancies and performance of thecoatings system it is necessary to have a reliableunderstanding of the mechanical properties and failuremechanisms of the coatings. In this thesis, mechanical and fracture behaviour have beenstudied for a NiAl coating applied by a pack cementationprocess, an air-plasma sprayed NiCoCrAlY bondcoat, a vacuumplasma-sprayed NiCrAlY bondcoat and an air plasma-sprayed ZrO2+ 6-8 % Y2O3topcoat. The mechanical tests were carried out ata temperature interval between room temperature and 860oC.Small punch tests and spherical indentation were the testmethods applied for this purpose, in which existing bending andindentation theory were adopted for interpretation of the testresults. Efforts were made to validate the test methods toensure their relevance for coating property measurements. Itwas found that the combination of these two methods givescapability to predict the temperature dependence of severalrelevant mechanical properties of gas turbine coatings, forexample the hardness, elastic modulus, yield strength, fracturestrength, flow stress-strain behaviour and ductility.Furthermore, the plasma-sprayed coatings were tested in bothas-coated and heat-treated condition, which revealedsignificant difference in properties. Microstructuralexamination of the bondcoats showed that oxidation with loss ofaluminium plays an important role in the coating degradationand for the property changes in the coatings. Keywords:small punch test, miniaturised disc bendingtests, spherical indentation, coatings, NiAl, APS-NiCoCrAlY,VPS-NiCrAlY, mechanical properties

The development of Sun and Nadir sensors for a solar sail CubeSatLoubser, Hanco Evert 03 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MScEng (Electrical and Electronic Engineering))--University of Stellenbosch, 2011. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This thesis describes the development of attitude sensors required for the Attitude Determination and
Control System (ADCS) for a Cubesat. The aim is to find the most suitable sensors for use on a small picosatellite
by implementing miniaturised sensors with available commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) technology.
Specifically, the algorithms, hardware prototypes, software and filters required to create accurate sensors
to determine the 3-axis orientation of a CubeSat are discussed. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie tesis beskryf die ontwikkeling van oriëntasiesensors wat benodig word vir die oriëntasiebepaling
en -beheerstelsel (Engels: ADCS) van ’n CubeSat. Die doelwit is om sensors te vind wat die geskikste is om
in ’n klein picosatelliet te gebruik, deur miniatuursensors met kommersiële maklik verkrygbare tegnologie
(Engels: COTS technology) te implementeer. Daar word in die bespreking veral aandag geskenk aan die
algoritmes, hardewareprototipes, programmatuur en filters wat benodig word om akkurate sensors te
skep wat op hul beurt 3-as oriëntasie van die CubeSat kan bepaal.
