Multiple Input Single Output DC-DC Converter with Equal Load Sharing on the Multiple Inputs

Multiple Input Single Output DC-DC Converter with Equal Load Sharing on the Multiple Inputs Need: In a typical DC to DC power converter with multiple DC power sources the DC power converter circuit switches from one DC power source to another DC power source among the multiple DC power sources. However, the energy drawn from each of the multiple...

Self Consolidating Grout

Self-Consolidating Grout Need: In self-consolidating grout, the grout is more liquid and flows into the smallest of voids, thus eliminating the need for the grouting process. The pressure head from the column of grout helps to push the grout into voids. There are chemicals that can be added to traditional grout mixes to make self-consolidation,...

Designed Defects in Laminate Composites

Designed Defects in Laminate Composites Need: As defects are a common problem occurring in laminated composite materials, it is important to determine whether a defect exists in laminated parts or structures. A conventional method of creating a delamination defect involves the insertion of a thin plastic membrane in the composite sample to simulate...
