It is commonly known that, in GMAW, the characteristics of metal transfer and the size of molten drop are highly dependent on the welding current. These changes in the characteristics of metal transfer has a considerable effect on the weld quality, and a lot of studies have been made on metal transfer modes for that reason. In this study, two cases were investigated; the one in which the metal transfer proceeds with gravitational force, surface tension, and no electromagnetic force, and the other in which the process has electromagnetic term in addition, where the current density in the fluid has been assumed to have Gaussian distribution on any given cross-section and it acts vertically. Using fluid flow analysis, this study has observed the whole process of the development and break-up of the molten drop, and it also showed that transitional processes, drop rate, and the drop size in each metal transfer mode can be estimated.

In this paper, eddy current loss, iron loss and heat transfer of PMSG with 2,000kW capacities were analyzed for wind turbine. The PMSG with 3 split magnet was analyzed using ansoft maxwell commercial program and, generator was tested by Back to Back converter with no load condition at laboratory. Rotor surface temperature was measured by Pt100 sensors for investigating heat transfer from rotor to atmosphere. The simulation results shows 27.4kW eddy current loss in no load condition and 50.2kW eddy current loss in rated load condition with 3 split magnet, and also shows 4.3kW iron loss in no load condition and 7.3kW iron loss rated load condition. The heat transfer coefficient of convection between rotor surface and atmosphere was investigated by $9.6W/m^2{\cdot}K$. Therefore the heat transfer from rotor to atmosphere was about 17kW(54%) and from rotor to air-gap was about 14.6kW(46%) in no load condition. It is identified that the cooling system for stator have to include the 46% of iron loss, and heat dissipation structure of rotor surface have to be suggested and designed for efficiency improvement of generator.

The paper investigates three types of transfer function methods for detecting displacements of winding in a model transformer. To acquire these transfer functions, the measuring method of input voltage, current and its response is used in impulse method. The applied impulse voltages had three rising times, which were short rising time (less than 0.6 ${\mu}s$), medium rising time (about 0.8 ${\mu}s$) and long rising time (about 1 ${\mu}s$) in front waves. Every 10 measurements of voltage and current waves were averaged from 50 measurements of voltage and current waves. These transfer functions were tested in normal, 24mm elevated and 48mm elevated windings conditions and were analyzed with correlation coefficients and spectrum deviations. In the analysis, the results depend on the types of transfer functions and the rising times of input voltages.

By bond mechanism between the prestressing strand and the concrete surrounding it, the effective force of prestressing must be transferred to the concrete entirely. The distance required to transfer the effective force of prestressing is called the transfer length, and the development length is the bond length required to anchor the strand as it resists external loads on the member. Transfer length was determined from the concrete strain profile at the level of the strands at transfer and development length was determined from various external loading lengths and compared with current code equation. Through the test results, bond failure is predicted based on the distress caused by cracks when they propagate within the transfer zone of prestressing strand. The current code equation was found to be conservative in comparison with the measured value.

Since various parameters including the welding conditions and material properties are involved in metal transfer, it is difficult to figure out the effects of each parameter. In this study, dimensional analysis in performed to reduce the number of the parameters and to reveal the effect of each parameter on metal transfer. Dimensionless parameters are derived based on the inertia force and surface tension, and their contributions on metal transfer are estimated by analyzing the calculated results using the volume of fluid (VOF) method. Among several dimensionless parameters, $N_{SE}(=$\mu$_{0}I^{2}/d_{w}${\gamma}$)$ which represents the ratio of the electromagnetic force to surface tension, is found to be appropriate to describe metal transfer and estimate the transition current. Predicted results of transition current and drop size are in reasonably good agreements with available experimental date which show the validity of proposed dimensional analysis.

For MHz-class high frequency inverter in wireless power transfer applications, the voltage/current surges can be occurred in power stage when driving on the inverter. And also, the high-frequency oscillations can be produced at a high switching frequency due to the parasitic elements. The voltage and current stresses of the switching devices lead to the switching losses. The efficiency of the high frequency inverter will be reduced. And the inverter circuit with the sudden voltage and current fluctuations also generates the noise such as the EMI. Zero voltage, zero current switching technique can be used to reduce the switching loss and the noise. The high power density and high efficiency can be obtained. In this paper, the high-frequency inverter for short-range wireless power transfer applications was discussed. The feasible inverter circuit is analyzed in the circuit operating characteristics and the results are verified by the simulation.

The spin transfer torque efficiency was determined experimentally by observing the current-driven domainwall depinning of Pt/CoFe/Pt nanowires with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy. The depinning time was exponentially proportional to the applied magnetic field, and was well explained by the Neel-Brown formula. The depinning time and threshold magnetic field were varied considerably by injecting current into the nanowire. The spin transfer torque efficiency was estimated to be $(7.2{\pm}0.9){\times}10^{-15}Tm^2$/A from the linear dependence of the threshold current density with respect to the applied magnetic field.

In this article, we researched the characteristics of heat transfer of the bimetal for over-current protection device. Bimetal consists of two metals which have a different thermal expansion coefficient. To analyze the heat transfer characteristics, by using a bimetal which has a single metal, we analyzed the temperature distribution when bimetal acts a switch. As usual, heat source is applied to the bimetal. But, in the over-current protection switch, the current become heat source. So, by using the current as source, we performed the magnetic analysis and thermal analysis together.

The spin transfer torque generated by a spin-polarized current can induce the shift of the magnetic domain-wall position. In this work, we study theoretically the current-induced domain-wall motion by using the collective coordinate approach [Gen Tatara and Hiroshi Kohno, Phys. Rev. Lett. 92, 86601 (2004)]. The approach is extended to include not only the domain-wall position and the polarization angle changes but also the domain-wall width variation. It is demonstrated that the width variation affects the critical current.
