This paper presents the design, construction and measurements on a transverse flux machine. The lamination concept is designed for easy fabrication and low iron losses. For a good flux guidance and a high magnetic field, electrical sheet is used for the soft magnetic circuit. The design of the machine is performed with a fast semi-analytical calculation and validated by 3D finite element analysis. The calculated quantities are compared with measurements on a prototype. Despite certain deviations, the measurements show good agreement with the calculations for the induced voltage and torque. In terms of efficiency, however, the measurement deviates significantly from the simulation. This is due to the iron losses being calculated much too small, which is evident from the separation of the measured losses.
B8.3 Influence of Temperature on Distributed Strain Sensing with OTDR in Polymer Optical Fibers
(2021)
Strain in ground and earthworks can be measured by polymer optical fibers (POF) applied to geotextiles. We measure the increase of backscatter (IOB) in the fiber under strain using optical time domain reflectometry (OTDR). The effect of temperature on this measurement principle is investigated. The local backscatter changes by 0.003 dB/K for common ambient temperature. In addition it is shown, that temperature depended viscoelastic properties of the polymer does affect IOB.
