Efficiency equations that consider friction and preacceleration of the projectile were derived. Special consideration was taken to distinguish between the loss of performance due to friction and the actual energy lost as heat due to friction. A thoro

The changing mass of the launch package affects efficiency. It is not necessarily clear which mass should be used for the calculation of kinetic energy, since the mass changes. The analysis clarifies these and other uncertainties, and equations for e

The emergence of the novel coronavirus (a.k.a. COVID-19, SARS-CoV-2) out of Wuhan, Hubei Province, China caught the world by surprise. As the outbreak began to spread outside of China, too little was known about the virus to model its transmission wi

Contact pressure between the armature and rails of a railgun is critical to rail lifetime, armature acceleration, and consistent shot behavior. A zero-velocity contact is provided by the mechanical strain of the armature flange in interference with t

This paper presents a reliability-oriented design (ROD) procedure for three-phase power converters in aircraft applications. These require the highest reliability levels for all its components-as high as space applications; hence the need to maximize

A measurement-based method for extracting the parasitic parameters of active power electronics modules (IPEMs) is proposed. Parasitic inductances and capacitances inside the IPEM can all be extracted using this method without destroying the structure

The frequency dependent characteristics of a gapped toroidal structure are extracted empirically over a bandwidth that exceeds 30 MHz. The analysis is complicated due to non-linear flux distributions, magnetic properties of the core material, leakage
