The mean square displacement response of a point on a transmission
line conductor that is subjected to wind gust generated lift forces is
computed. The wind gust velocity and wind gust generated lift forces
are treated as random processes in both time and space. A lift force,
that is velocity...
This thesis presents the creep properties and the relations
between stress and strain of "Expanded 460KV", "Chukar" and
"Drake" conductors. The basic theories of the effect of load,
material, and temperature on the conductor are also briefly
discussed.
The long time creep curve of a conductor appears as a
straight...
This thesis is an engineering report on the creep behavior of
power transmission line conductors. Laboratory creep test results
are reported for Pheasant, Narcissus and Chukar conductors.
The report follows a standard nomenclature and format suggested
by the International Study Committee No. 6 of Conference
Internationale des Grands Reseaux Electriques...
A new, reproducible method of using electromigration to form
metallic nano-conductors is developed using gold and a tin-silver alloy.
Measurements revealed a quantization of the electrical conductance
consistent with the theory of quantum conductance. The theory of
quantum conductance is applied to show that a nano-conductor with a
cross-section of...
Microscale continuous thin films or patterned conductive structures find applications in thin film electronics, energy generation and functional sensor systems. An emerging alternative to conventional vacuum based deposition of such structures is the additive deposition and sintering of conductive nanoparticles, to enable low temperature, low- cost and low energy fabrication....
