Solid State Physics and Materials Science

By Ashik
What is Solid?

The sate of matter in which materials are not fluid but retain their boundaries without support and having three dimension (length, breadth and thickness) as a geometric body or figure. Example:


»Atomic solid,

»Metallic solid,

»Molecular solid and 
» Ionic solid
 Solid can be divided in Crystalline and non- Crystalline of Solid


•Crystalline solid: Materials in which atoms are placed in a high ordered structure are called crystalline (Long range). Example: Metal, Insulator and Semiconductor 
•Non- Crystalline solid: Non- Crystalline solid divided in Amorphous solid and Polycrystalline:
–Amorphous solid:  Materials in which atoms are placed at random are called amorphose (short range)
–Polycrystalline:  Solid many small regions of single crystal

What is Materials? 
 
•Materials are made up of lot of little particles. How these particles are arranged determines their state. A materials state can be solid, liquid and gas.

–Solid: Solid can be hold their own shape unless something happens to them

–Liquid: Liquid flow and take the shape of their container

–Gases are usually invisible and spread out to fill up spaces


 Classes of Materials: Six Major Classes of Materials


•Metals

–Iron and Steel

– Alloys and Superalloys (e.g. aerospace applications)

– Intermetallic Compounds (high-T structural materials)

•Ceramics

– Structural Ceramics (high-temperature load bearing)

– Refractories (corrosion-resistant, insulating)

–Glass

– Electrical Ceramics (capacitors, insulators, transducers, etc.)

– Chemically Bonded Ceramics (e.g. cement and concrete

Armature Winding ,Pole Pitch, Coil Span, Commutator Pitch

By Ashik
Now we are going to discuss about armature winding in details. Before going through this section, we should understand some basic terms related to armature winding of dc generator . Pole Pitch Definition of Pole Pitch The pole pitch is defined as peripheral distance between center of two adjacent poles in dc machine. This distance is measured in term of armature slots or armature conductor come between two adjacent pole centers. This is naturally equal to the total number of armature slots divided by number of poles in the machine. If there are 96 slots on the armature periphery and 4 numbers of poles in the machine, the numbers of armature slots come between two adjacent poles centers would be 96/4 = 24. Hence, the pole pitch of that dc machine would be 24. As it is seen that, pole pitch is equal to total numbers of armature slots divided by total numbers of poles, this can alternatively referred as armature slots per pole . Coil Span or Coil Pitch Coil of ...

Control Systems/Gain

By Ashik
What is Gain? Gain is a proportional value that shows the relationship between the magnitude of the input to the magnitude of the output signal at steady state. Many systems contain a method by which the gain can be altered, providing more or less "power" to the system. However, increasing gain or decreasing gain beyond a particular safety zone can cause the system to become unstable. Consider the given second-order system: We can include an arbitrary gain term, K in this system that will represent an amplification, or a power increase: In a state-space system, the gain term k can be inserted as follows: The gain term can also be inserted into other places in the system, and in those cases the equations will be slightly different.   Example: Gain Here are some good examples of arbitrary gain values being used in physical systems: Volume Knob On your stereo there is a volume knob that controls the gain of your amplifier circuit. Higher levels of v...
