Flash sintering is one of the newest techniques for sintering ceramics to near full density. It occurs in an appropriate combination of temperature and electric field. Temperature measurement is one of the most serious challenges in this process. In the present study, we tried to model a flash sintering process of 8YSZ and 3YSZ with finite element method to make an assessment for temperature di...

this study presents the electric behavior of sandwich devices based on porous silicon (ps) thin films with au/ps/si/cu structure when the material’s surface is exposed to different gases. ps thin films were fabricated by the electrochemical anodization method of si–c (100) substrates with resistivity 1.4-2.6 ωcm. samples were anodized in a solution of hf (48%), c2h5oh (99.98%) and distilled wat...

“Stealthy” electric current probing technique for power electronics circuits, power device modules and chips makes it possible to measure electric current without any change or disassembling the circuit and the chip connection for the measurement. The technique consists of a tiny-scale magnetic-field coil, a high speed analog amplifier and a digitizer with numerical data processing. This techni...

Electric potential measurement technique (tomography) was introduced as a nondestructive method to evaluate concrete properties and durability. In this study, numerical meshless method was developed to solve a differential equation which simulates electric potential distribution for concrete with inclusion in two dimensions. Therefore, concrete samples with iron block inclusion in different loc...
