Abstract: Abstract On-board electrical power demands in modern aircraft are substantially increasing. Scaling-up the size of the current starter/generators to provide the additional power requirements inevitably increases their mass. Instead, aircraft electrical designers are considering to… read more here.

DOI: 10.1109/mias.2016.2600692
Abstract: Since the advent of variable frequency drive motors, standard rolling element bearings have been failing from electrical arcing because of stray electrical currents in the motors. This article will explore the damage mechanism in the… read more here.
