Higher frequency performance of stress-grading systems for HV large rotating machines
(Conference on Electrical Insulation and Dielectric Phenomena, 2006) -
Electromagnetic and Structural Analyses of Electric Gun and Integrated Launch Package Systems
(IEEE, 1995-01)The authors describe electromagnetic and structural analyses of electric gun and integrated launch packages. Models presented were developed for the Sabot Launched Electric Gun Kinetic Energy projectile (SLEKE) program and ... -
Discarding Armature and Barrel Optimization for a Cannon Caliber Electromagnetic Launcher System
(IEEE, 1995-01)The authors detail the optimization and baseline design of the discarding metal armature and electromagnetic railgun developed for the US Army Armament Research Development and Engineering Center and US Marine Corps sponsored ... -
Design and Testing of Integrated Metal Armature Sabots for Launch of Armor Penetrating Projectiles from Electric Guns
(IEEE, 1995-01)Electromagnetic railguns have now demonstrated their potential as an efficient vehicle for the launching of long rod armor penetrating projectiles capable of defeating heavily armored mobile targets. Mid-body-drive, ... -
Status of the 9 MJ Range Gun System
(IEEE, 1995-01)The 9 MJ Range Gun system under construction at the Center for Electromechanics at The University of Texas at Austin is designed as a self-contained, field portable electromagnetic launch system to accelerate a salvo of ... -
Fabrication and Testing of a 30 mm and 90 mm Laminated, High L’ Railgun Designed and Built at CEM-UT
(IEEE, 1995-01)With the emphasis on moving railgun technology from a laboratory based setting out into the field, a new lighter weight and stiff railgun structure was designed at the Center for Electromechanics at The University of Texas ... -
Railgun Instrumentation
(IEEE, 1995-01)In recent years, the railgun focus has switched to developing tactical weapons with launch velocities of 2 to 3 km/s. The projectile focus for tactical weapons has switched from plasma to solid armatures because of their ... -
Fabrication of a Compact Storage Inductor for Railguns
(IEEE, 1984-03)A liquid nitrogen-cooled, coaxial, energy storage inductor has been designed and built to be used in conjunction with a compact homopolar generator to form a high-energy-density power supply for use with electro-magnetic ... -
Power Electronics and Controls for Air Core Compulsator
(IEEE, 1995-01)The Center for Electromechanics at the University of Texas (GEM-UT) has been engaged in a large scale effort to develop the power electronics and control systems required to demonstrate a multi-megawatt, full control, SCR ... -
Shaft Signals of salient-Pole Synchronous Machines for Eccentricity and Shorted Field Coil Detections
(IEEE, 1994-01)Relationships between shaft signal and eccentricities of salient-pole synchronous machine are Studied. The magnitude and the thickness of shaft-signal loci Reflect steady and dynamic eccentricities. Harmonic components of ...
