A model for cascading failures in complex networks

, 2004
Large but rare cascades triggered by small initial shocks are present in most of the infrastructure networks. Here we present a simple model for cascading failures based on the dynamical redistribution of the flow on the network.

Electrical breakdown of polyurethane-based nanocomposites

2010 10th IEEE International Conference on Solid Dielectrics, 2010
In this study the effect of nanometer-size mica fillers in polyurethane is investigated by evaluating electrical breakdown voltages. The particle size of mica fillers used in this study is 1 nm and 10 nm. The TPU-mica composites were prepared with various concentrations of filler content.

Development of Electrical Breakdown in Transformer Oil

Advances in Electrical and Electronic Engineering, 2006
Power transformers are key equipment for transfer and distribution of the electric power. Considering the significance of the power transformers in the electric system, their price and possible damages occurred by accidents, it is necessary to pay ...

Electrical and Mechanical Properties of new Recyclable Power Cable Insulation Materials based upon Polyethylene Blends

, 2011
Chemically crosslinked polyethylene (XLPE) has been used as electrical insulation for power cables since the 1970s due to its favourable combination of electrical and mechanical properties.

Silicone rubbers for dielectric elastomers with improved dielectric and mechanical properties as a result of substituting silica with titanium dioxide

International Journal of Smart and Nano Materials, 2015
One prominent method of modifying the properties of dielectric elastomers (DEs) is by adding suitable metal oxide fillers. However, almost all commercially available silicone elastomers are already heavily filled with silica to reinforce the otherwise ...

Sessile water droplets on insulating surfaces subject to high AC stress effect of contact angle [PDF]

, 2002
Surface pollution of outdoor high-voltage insulators is an important cause of flashover. We have undertaken an experimental study of electrical breakdown at the edges of a sessile water droplet on a planar, polymeric, insulating surface when subject to ...

Streamer characteristics of dielectric natural ester-based liquids under long gap distances

AIP Advances, 2018
Natural esters, as the renewable resources, offer excellent physiochemical and dielectric properties such as the fire-resistance, high biodegradability and satisfactory dielectric breakdown performance. Thus, natural esters are selected as the insulation
