Induction machines (IMs) are a critical component of many industrial processes, and their failure can cause large economic losses. Condition-based maintenance systems (CBMs) that are capable of detecting their failures at an incipient stage can reduce these risks by continuously monitoring the IMs' condition. The development and reliable operations of CBMs systems require rapid modeling of the faulty IM. Due to the fault-induced IM asymmetries, these models are much more complex than those used for a healthy IM. In particular, a mixed eccentricity fault (static and dynamic), which can degenerate into rubbing and destruction of the rotor, produces a non-uniform IM air gap that is different for each rotor position, which makes its very difficult to calculate the IM's inductance matrix. In this work, a new analytical model of an eccentric IM is presented. It is based on the winding tensor approach, which allows a clear separation between the air gap and winding-related faults. Contrary to previous approaches, where complex expressions have been developed for obtaining mutual inductances between conductors and windings of an eccentric IM, a conformal transformation is proposed in this work, which allows using the simple inductance expressions of a healthy IM. This novel conformal winding tensor approach (CWFA) is theoretically explained and validated with the diagnosis of two commercial IMs with a mixed eccentricity fault.

In response to an investigation on the paths of changes in the crystallization and radial differences during the forming process of nascent fibers, in this study, we conducted numerical simulation and analyzed the changes in crystallization mechanical parameters and tensile properties through a fluid dynamics two-phase model. The model was based on the melt-spinning method focusing on melt spinning, the environment of POLYFLOW, and the method of joint simulation, coupled with Nakamura crystallization kinetics, including the development of process collaborative parameters, stretch-induced crystallization, viscoelasticity, filament cooling, gravity term, inertia, and air resistance. Finally, for nylon 6 BHS and CN9987 resin spinning, the model successfully predicted the distribution changes in temperature, velocity, strain rate tensor, birefringence, and stress tensor along the axial and radial fibers and obtained the variation pattern of fibers' crystallinity along the entire spinning process under different stretching rates.

Twist-coupled elastic deformations are ubiquitous and in the limelight of interest for next-generation self-shaping materials. Here, we describe how twist dynamics under fixed anchoring lead to bend deformation and defect dynamics in a field-unwound chiral liquid crystal material. We use the Q-tensor dynamics under the Landau-de Gennes formalism in a finite-element mesh to explore the texture pathways from the unwound (homeotropic) to the helical planar structure.

Induction machines (IMs) are one of the main sources of mechanical power in many industrial processes, especially squirrel cage IMs (SCIMs), due to their robustness and reliability. Their sudden stoppage due to undetected faults may cause costly production breakdowns. One of the most frequent types of faults are cage faults (bar and end ring segment breakages), especially in motors that directly drive high-inertia loads (such as fans), in motors with frequent starts and stops, and in case of poorly manufactured cage windings.

We use unbiased computational methods to elucidate the onset and properties of pair superfluidity in two-species fermionic and bosonic systems with onsite interspecies attraction loaded in a uniform, i.e., with no confining potential, one-dimensional optical lattice.
