      In an MMC station, the submodule (SM) capacitor constitutes a high proportion in both the footprint size and construction cost, which greatly limits the application of MMC in some scenarios, such as offshore wind power ...
    • A variational model of fracture for tearing brittle thin sheets

      Tearing of brittle thin elastic sheets, possibly adhered to a substrate, involves a rich interplay between nonlinear elasticity, geometry, adhesion, and fracture mechanics. In addition to its intrinsic and practical interest, ...
    • An Improved hybrid DC circuit breaker with self-adaptive fault current limiting capability

      The effective fault current limiting is very significant for the dc distribution system. However, the traditional dc fault current limiting method, i.e., directly installing dc reactor, may trigger negative impacts the ...
    • Phase-field modeling and simulation of fracture in brittle materials with strongly anisotropic surface energy 

      Li, Bin; Peco, Christian; Millán, Daniel; Arias Vicente, Irene; Arroyo Balaguer, Marino (John Wiley & Sons, 2015-04-20)
      Article
      Accés obert
      Crack propagation in brittle materials with anisotropic surface energy is important in applications involving single crystals, extruded polymers, or geological and organic materials. Furthermore, when this anisotropy is ...
    • The variational approach to brittle fracture in materials with anisotropic surface energy and in thin sheets
