Fully Rationalized Tsai-Wu Failure Criterion for Transversely Isotropic Materials (2022)
TexGen introduces a groundbreaking perspective on the traditional Tsai-Wu failure criterion for transversely isotropic materials. This research work, led by Shuguang Li, delves deeply into the quadratic function of the original criterion, shedding light on troublesome coefficients linked to interactive terms. By leveraging analytic geometry, the authors provide a fully rationalized approach that enhances the understanding and application of failure criteria in material science. The exploration of these concepts, outlined in the book chapter in 'Double-Double: a new perspective in the manufacture and design of composites,' published by Stanford & JEC, marks a significant advancement in the field.
Air-Cooling of a Hollow High-Speed Permanent Magnet Rotor (2019)
Another remarkable endeavor by TexGen researchers, Peter Connor, Alessandro La Rocca, Zeyuan Xu, Michele Degano, Carol Eastwick, Stephen Pickering, and Christopher Gerada, focuses on the air-cooling mechanisms for high-speed permanent magnet rotors. This presentation at the 2019 IEEE International Electric Machines and Drives Conference explores computational fluid dynamics and conjugate heat transfer analysis for optimizing both internal and external cooling paths within the hollow rotor. With a specific emphasis on mitigating magnet losses in high-speed applications, the study offers valuable insights into enhancing the efficiency and performance of these critical components in engineering systems.
