The spherical motor is an electric machine which is able to tilt its shaft on 3-dimensional space as using electromagnetic force. Recently a permanent magnet is remarkable material for applying electric machinery, because of high magnetic flux density. In this paper, a spherical motor, which has permanent magnet on its rotor, is researched. As known, the spherical motor has a special feature as 3 degrees of freedom (D.O.F) operation. This performance can be realized by using electromagnetic torque between coils and magnets. Therefore, in this paper, a permanent magnet spherical wheel motor is introduced and performance characteristics are analyzed for improving of operation stability.

In this paper, spherical Luneburg lens antennas have been systematically analyzed using the Eigenfunction Expansion Method (EEM), The developed technique has capability of performing a complete 3-D analysis to characterize the multi-layered dielectric spherical lens with arbitrary permittivity and permeability. This paper describes the analysis technique, and presents the results of the parametric study of Luneburg lens antennas by varying design parameters suoh as the diameter of the lens antenna (up to 80 wavelength), number of spherical shells (up to 30 shells), air-gaps between spherical shells, and dielectric loss of the material. Many representative engineering design curves including the far-field patterns, wide-angle sidelobe characterizations, antenna efficiency have been presented.

In an indentation approach, the smooth rigid spherical ball penetrated into a deformable flat is considered for the study based on contact mechanics approach. The elastic-plastic frictionless spherical indentation analysis has been under taken in the finite element analysis using "ABAQUS" and experimental study. The spherical indentation has been studied for the materials like steel, aluminium, copper and brass with an identical spherical indenter for diverse indentation depths. The springback analysis is executed for studying the actual indentation depth after the indenter is unloaded. In the springback simulation, the material recovers its elastic deformation after the indenter is unloaded. The residual diameter and depth of an indentation for various materials are measured and compared with simulation results. It shows a good agreement between the simulation and an experimental studies.

The main objective of this paper is to develop the finite element study on the nonlinear free vibration of functionally graded nanocomposite spherical shells reinforced with graphene platelets under the first-order shear deformation shell theory and von Kármán nonlinear kinematic relations. The governing equations are presented by introducing the full asymmetric nonlinear strain-displacement relations followed by the constitutive relations and energy functional. The extended Halpin-Tsai model is utilized to specify the overall Young's modulus of the nanocomposite. Then, the finite element formulation is derived and the quadrilateral 8-node shell element is implemented for finite element discretization. The nonlinear sets of dynamic equations are solved by the use of the harmonic balance technique and iterative method to find the nonlinear frequency response. Several numerical examples are represented to highlight the impact of involved factors on the large-amplitude vibration responses of nanocomposite spherical shells. One of the main findings is that for some geometrical and material parameters, the fundamental vibrational mode shape is asymmetric and the axisymmetric formulation cannot be appropriately employed to model the nonlinear dynamic behavior of nanocomposite spherical shells.

In this paper, the electric field distribution in dielectric tube with one layer and spherical dielectric in water was simulated. The reactor was made up of the spherical dielectric that is diameter 2.5[mm], ${\epsilon}_r$ : 5, 100, 1000, 5000 respectively and one glass plate being 2[mm] thickness, ${\epsilon}_r$ : 5 as electrode. The discharge gap was 7[mm]. As a result of the simulation, in case of being about the same value between the dielectric constant of spherical dielectric and water, when the reactor was applied to high voltage dielectric polarization characteristic was trending toward disappearance. To get more strong electric field, the dielectric constant should be higher comparatively, Increasing the spherical dielectric constant, the location of equippotential line was shifting from the interior to the exterior.

The discharge gap was 9[mm]. As a result of the simulation, in case of being about the same value between the dielectric constant of spherical dielectric and water, when the reactor was applied to high voltage, dielectric polarization characteristic was trending toward disappearance. To get more strong electric field, the dielectric constant should be higher comparatively, Increasing the spherical dielectric constant, the location of equippotential line was shifting from the interior to the exterior.

Spherical indentation technique was developed to evaluate the flow properties of metallic materials in carbon steel, stainless steel and alloys, etc. Through the spherical indentation test, differently degraded 1Cr-1Mo-0.25V steel's mechanical properties were observed and compared with conventional standard test data. The flow properties of 1Cr-1Mo-0.25V steels were estimated by analyzing the indentation load-depth curve. To characterize the flow property, we used material yield slope and constraint factor index rather than strain-hardening exponent because the variation of strain-hardening exponent was very little and the data showed irregularly. And the constraint factor's effect was small when the material yield slope was taken into account.

The main purpose of this study is to analyze the effects of external pressure on the vibration and buckling of functionally graded (FG) spherical panels resting of elastic medium. The material characteristics of the FG sphere continuously vary through the thickness direction based on the power-law rule. In accordance with first-order shear deformation shell theory and by the use of Ritz formulation the governing equations are presented. In this regard, the beam functions are applied in two-dimensions for different sets of boundary supports. The Winkler and Pasternak models of elastic foundations are also taken into account. In order to show the validity and applicability of the presented formulation, various comparison studies are given. Furthermore, a diverse range of numerical results is reported to check the impacts of geometrical and material parameters along with external pressure on the vibration and buckling analysis of FG spherical panels.

A novel spherical carbon composite material, in which nanosized disordered carbons are dispersed in a soft carbon matrix, has been prepared and investigated for use as a potential anode material for lithium ion batteries. Disordered carbons were synthesized by ball milling natural graphite in air. The composite was prepared by mixing the ball-milled graphite with petroleum pitch powder, pelletizing the mixture, and pyrolyzing the pellets at $1200^{\circ}C$ in an argon flow. The ballmilled graphite consists of distorted nanocrystallites and amorphous phases. In the composite particle, nanosized flakes are uniformly distributed in a soft carbon matrix, as revealed by X-ray diffractometer (XRD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) experiments. The composite is compatible with a pure propylene carbonate (PC) electrolyte and shows high rate capability and excellent cycling performance. The electrochemical properties are comparable to those of hard carbon.

Among the lithium metal oxides for hybrid-capacity, $Li_4Ti_5O_{12}(LTO)$ is an emerging electrode material as zero-stain material in volume change during the with the charging and discharging processes. However, LTO has a limitation of low ionic and electronic conductivity. To enhance the ionic and electronic properties of $Li_4Ti_5O_{12}(LTO)$, we synthesized the spherical LTO/CNT composite by sol-gel process for hybrid capacitors. CNT interconnection networks between CNT-LTO particles enhanced electronic conductivity and electrochemical charging/discharging properties. All of the LTO samples was observed to show the spinel structure and spherical morphology with the diameter of $5{\sim}10{\mu}m$. Especially, spherical LTO/CNT composite of the CNT-3 wt% showed the enhanced capacity from 110 mAh/g to 140 mAh/g at 10 C.
