The Characteristics of Systems Breakdown

2016
This chapter leverages the conceptual framework for how systems form to explain the many ways systems break down. These ways are organized into major methods, from violent destruction to intentional retirement, and specific breakdown mechanisms within each method.

D.c. breakdown voltage characteristics in supercritical helium: breakdown in nonuniform fields

Cryogenics, 1986
Abstract This Paper describes the results of an experimental study on the d.c. breakdown voltage characteristic of supercritical helium under a non-uniform electric field. The study was carried out to further the development of superconducting magnets cooled by supercritical helium.

Characteristics of laser induced gas breakdown

SPIE Proceedings, 2003
We report characteristics of laser induced gas breakdown by changing wavelengths, gas media as well as controlling energies. Pulsed YAG laser beam was focused into the gas chamber in order to study breakdown thresholds and laser transmission through produced plasmas.

Air Breakdown Characteristics at High Altitudes

51st AIAA Aerospace Sciences Meeting including the New Horizons Forum and Aerospace Exposition, 2013
Present investigations have been devoted to analysis of electron ionization and elimination processes at early stages of electric discharge development at altitudes 0$100 km. In the report we consider processes of ionization in the external field and due to background ionization, as well as of attachment, detachment of electrons in collisions with ...

Spectral characteristics of vortex breakdown flowfields

The Physics of Fluids, 1979
Laser-Doppler anemometer measurements upstream and in the wakes of vortex breakdowns of bubble and spiral types are described. Spectral analysis of the data indicates prominent oscillations in the wakes at less than 10 Hz. These oscillations correspond closely to theoretical predictions of the linearly most unstable normal modes of the time-averaged ...

AC breakdown characteristics of epoxy nanocomposites

IEEE Transactions on Dielectrics and Electrical Insulation, 2011
Experiments were conducted to measure the ac breakdown strength of epoxy alumina nanocomposites with different filler loadings of 0.1, 1 and 5 wt%. The experiments were performed as per the ASTM D 149 standard on samples of thickness 0.5 mm, 1 mm and 3 mm in order to study the effect of thickness on the ac breakdown strength of epoxy nanocomposites.

Breakdown characteristics of water walled arcs

Journal of Physics D: Applied Physics, 1988
The breakdown voltage of a high-pressure argon arc is increased by about 80% if water is present in the vessel, and is further increased if the discharge is forced close to the water surface by a metal conductor outside the arc chamber.

Generalized breakdown voltage characteristic of the pseudospark

Applied Physics Letters, 1994
A simple empirical scaling law is determined for the pseudospark breakdown voltage characteristic that includes the effect of the cavity dimension. It is found that the breakdown voltage characteristic has two distinctive regimes: the breakdown voltage is a function of the product of the gas pressure and the anode–cathode distance pd and a function of ...

Breakdown Characteristics of Moving Transformer Oil

IEEE Transactions on Power Apparatus and Systems, 1981
As a result of investigating breakdown characteristics of moving oil, it has become clear that the breakdown voltage of ac and dc for moving oil is higher than that for stationary oil by 10-15 % at a moving velocity of 5 cm/s region; the former voltage becomes almost equal to the latter voltage in the region of 25 cm/s, and the former is reduced to ...
