In this article, a setup including a passive gas breakdown mitigation technique for satellite slip ring assemblies (SRAs) is introduced and tested. The setup features a central conducting ring, separated from two external conducting limiting discs (LDs) by ...
Dielectric elastomer actuators (DEAs) have extremely advantageous characteristics such as lightness, compactness, flexibility, and large displacements. However, in order to operate, they can require voltages in the order of several thousands of volts. Thus ...
Defects can significantly modify the electro-optical characteristics of InGaN light-emitting diodes (LEDs); however, modeling the impact of defects on the electrical characteristics of LEDs is not straightforward. In this paper, we present an extensive inv ...
The electrical properties, electroluminescence (EL) power output and deep trap spectra were studied before and after 5 MeV electron irradiation of near-UV single-quantum-well (SQW) light-emitting diodes (LED) structures differing by the presence or absence ...
The Future Circular Collider for hadrons (FCC-hh) is the proposed high-energy frontier particle collider, which is expected to enable proton-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of 100 TeV. The specifications for the FCC-hh injection kicker system ...
This chapter describes two of the most adopted software tools for the evaluation of the lightning performance of transmission and distribution lines, namely FLASH and LIOV-EMTP (Lightning Induced OverVoltage - ElectroMagnetic Transient Program), together w ...
