The originality of this work is to applied Amperian Approach for modelling HTS bulk especially in electrical motor applications. This approach has proven its efficiency in electrical materials having a constant conductivity. For HTS materials, the resistivity change brutally and have a non linear comportment through any external magnetic field variations. To success the modelisation, we have to create an iterative procedure. All simulation steps are based on the power law model for computing resistivity and current densities adding the fixed point method for non linear iterations. The majority of our results concern the current densities in the HTS bulk rotor with different critical currents constatations under mgnetic field created by three phase coils of the proposed superconducting synchronous motor (SSM) prototype. Some results are consolidated by numerical way using flux 2D software.

With the introduction of the polyester ropes as mooring lines of large systems such as semi-submersibles, the need to simulate these lines in model tests became a necessity. Although the non-linear behavior is clear, depending on the type of cycling, the polyester rope responds in ways that may be considered linear as a steel wire rope. Because of that, the early model tests have been performed using a linear restoring capability, with different restoring coefficients. The use of equivalent springs seemed the proper way. However, with the help of fundamental investigation on the similarity laws, the present work shows that the use of very thin polyester lines in model scaling is feasible and will indeed allow a closer physical representation. By avoid using springs, but using the same material as in full scale, the same non-linear behavior is present during the tests and even the response to random excitation due to random waves is better represented. The paper closely describes the application of these ideas in a model test of a FPSO (Floating Production Storage and Offloading) comparing both the linear springs and new approach with the model scale equivalent polyester line.

A 1-phase induction motor usually has a complicated windings design which compares to polyphase induction motor. In addition, a large capacitor start is required to operate the motor. It is an expensive way to operate the motor if it compare to polyphase induction motor. So, a new innovation method is required to make the motor more simple and cheaper. This research is purposed to study a new winding design for a single-phase capacitor motor. Winding design of the motor was conducted to a simple winding design like a 4-phase induction motor that has four identical windings. The comparator motor that use in this study was a Three-phase induction motor with data 1400 RPM, 1.5 HP, 50Hz, 380/220V, Y/Δ, 2.74/4.7A, 4 poles, that had the same current rating which the proposed method. The result showed that the motor design on this proposed method could be operated at 88.18 % power rating with power factor close to unity.
