800 kV Fast Circuit Breaker: Mechanical Coupling Modelling, Buffer Design and Development
ABSTRACT The 800 kV fast circuit breaker (CB) used in ultra‐high voltage (UHV) converter transformer can reduce the total breaking time to 25 ms. It significantly improves the action speed and breaking capacity of the CB, with promising broad application prospects.

Considerations for the Design of Sinusoidal Slug Testing Methods
Periodic hydraulic tests estimate aquifer properties using controlled groundwater‐level oscillations. Evaluating two sinusoidal slug‐test designs shows large motion errors when transfer‐link and flywheel ratios are high or variable. Rotating‐drive mechanisms are therefore suboptimal; stepper‐motor winches generate more accurate sinusoidal motion ...

Abstract The application of automated ground vehicles (AGVs) is well‐established in closed environments such as port terminals, while their operation in open areas remains challenging. In this work, we set out to overcome this limitation by introducing platooning as a transfer mode in heterogeneous vehicle networks.

Tests and Analyses to Study Monotonic and Cyclic Fracture Behavior of C‐Mn Steel
ABSTRACT The present study is aimed at experiments/analyses on monotonic and cyclic fracture behavior of C‐Mn steel at temperatures (T) varying from 28°C to 300°C. The fracture tests have been performed on standard compact tension specimens under different crack mouth opening displacement (CMOD) rates and load ratios (R: 0, −0.5, and −1) in a dynamic ...
