Article history: Received 10 February 2016 Received in revised form 22 May 2016 Accepted 8 June 2016 Available online xxxx The relationships betweenmicrostructure, controlled by alloying elements prone to grain boundary segregation, and electrical resistivity in sputtered nanocrystalline Cu were investigated. We find a non-monotonic dependence of themean grain size on solute concentration for b...

polymer-graphite powder composite behaves as a low-conductive material which can be used as an automatic fuse for adhesive connector in electrical circuits. the conductivity of this composite, below its transition temperature, tt, depends on concentration of carbon powder, slowly decreases as the temperature increases. meanwhile, the electrical resistivity of this material in transition tempera...

Stress grading (SG) layer in cable terminations limits the critical electric field and properties of SG materials are important issues which have to be considered during manufacturing and selecting procedure. In this paper, two different types of (SG) materials are analyzed by both theory and test. According to the applied theory, important parameters as: electrical resistivity, breakdown volta...

We present a new method for deforming an object in a static real scene, which interacts with animated synthetic characters. Unlike the existing method making a new synthetic object to substitute for the interacting object in the real scene, we directly deform the object in image space using an image-warping technique with assistance from a simplified 3D sub-model. The deformed image sequence is...

Complex resistivity (CR) has been used to investigate the properties and the extent of damage in wood and standing trees. Our laboratory experiments have proved that wood’s anisotropy influences its electrical behaviour. It is a well-established fact that wood exhibits the lowest resistivity amplitudes in the axial direction compared to that in tangential and radial directions. It has been show...

With the purpose of understanding a well-documented RPC ageing phenomenon, consisting of a gradual increase of the plate resistivity for chambers working at high rate, we carried out a systematic study on the electrical conduction properties of phenolic–melaminic electrode plates. A number of small size sample plates were kept under intense electrical current at fixed voltage, to simulate a hig...

Cross sections at low energies for vibrationally elastic and inelastic scattering, as well as electron attachment to SF6, have been calculated using a multichannel effective range theory ERT with complex boundary conditions. The most active vibrational modes, the totally symmetric mode 1 and the infrared active mode 3, have been included in the calculation. The ERT parameters were fitted to rep...
