Evaluation of the electrical integrity of E-textiles subjected to environmental conditions

E-textiles contain electrically conductive elements and electronic devices that are integrated in textile substrate. Wearable e-textiles are expected to perform like textiles in terms of breathability, conformability, and comfort despite the presence of the electrically conductive elements and electronics. E-textiles are also expected to provide reliable data and signal processing like electronic devices while they are subjected to normal wear and tear under different environmental conditions. The goal of this research was to investigate the electrical integrity of e-textiles while they are subjected to environmental conditions. Different woven samples of electronic-improved outer tactical vest with two narrow conductive traces woven in the warp direction were subjected to range of temperatures and humidity, including extreme conditions. The effects of formation parameters (e-yarn type, number of e-yarns/trace, and weldability), temperature, and humidity on the integrity of the e-textiles were studied. It was found that resistance of networks was affected by changes in air temperature and humidity and the quality of the weld had the greatest impact on electrical integrity of the conductive network. This impact was pronounced in more extreme environmental conditions, which revealed that there was a strong interaction between the weldability, temperature, and humidity.     

不同煤层掘进工作面瞬变电磁法探测应用研究

煤矿井下瞬变电磁法成为煤矿井下超前探测工作的重要手段，在矿井水害预测预报上发挥着很大的作用。随着矿井上组煤层资源的逐渐枯竭，煤矿开采资源逐渐延伸向下组煤层。同一井田范围内同煤层及其顶底板的岩性特征一般相差不大，瞬变电磁法在同煤层施工过程中接收到的物理背景场较为接近；而不同煤层及其顶底板岩性特征通常会有较大的差别，瞬变电磁法在不同煤层施工过程中会接收到差别较大的物理背景场。当矿井存在多煤层开采时，通过大量数据研究瞬变电磁法在不同煤层巷道探测中的响应特征规律，分析并掌握不同煤层条件对瞬变电磁法探测结果的影响，能够提高瞬变电磁法在多煤层探测成果的准确性。

碳酸盐岩裂缝性储层常规测井评价方法

哈萨克斯坦K油田石炭系KT-Ⅱ段储层为开阔台地相中低孔、特低渗灰岩储层，裂缝对改善储层的渗流能力至关重要，前人研究的利用常规测井资料评价碳酸盐岩储层裂缝的方法由于受裂缝产状、饱和度、泥浆侵入深浅等多方面因素的影响，存在确定性差、容易误判的缺陷。基于研究区目的层段有限的取心和电成像测井资料，结合孔隙型储层和裂缝-孔隙型储层测井响应特征，提出了利用补偿中子确定基块岩石电阻率与基块声波时差，再比较二者与深侧向电阻率、声波时差的差异特征，进而综合识别储层不同产状裂缝发育段，最后建立了裂缝孔隙度、次生孔隙度、裂缝渗透率、总渗透率等储层参数的测井解释模型，实现了利用常规测井资料对碳酸盐岩油藏储层的裂缝识别及参数定量评价。该方法应用的测井综合评价成果与取心物性分析、生产动态情况能够更好地匹配，为该类油藏的合理高效开发提供了依据。     

高压直流接地极对埋地管道的电流干扰及人身安全距离

高压直流输电系统的直流接地极在运行初期或发生故障和检修时,会产生瞬间大电流,给附近埋地油气管道设施及操作人员带来极大的安全隐患。为了保障埋地管道附近人员的安全,对高压直流接地极对埋地管道的电流干扰及人身安全距离(以下简称安全距离)进行了研究。首先利用数值模拟技术建立了埋地管道受电磁干扰的模型,进而利用该模型计算了不同土壤电阻率、管线长度、管道防腐层、接地极入地电流、管道尺寸等情况下,高压直流接地极对埋地管道杂散电流干扰的安全距离,并分析了上述条件对高压直流接地极干扰程度的影响规律。研究结果表明:①管线长度对高压直流接地极干扰程度的影响较大,管线越长,安全距离越大,但当管线长度达到或超过600 km时,安全距离则基本不变;②管线涂层对高压直流接地极干扰程度的影响较大,随着涂层面电阻率的增加,安全距离逐渐增大;③对于多层土壤结构,可将最大的单层电阻率作为整体电阻率,其计算得到的安全距离最大,评价结果也更为保守。结论认为,利用计算结果得到的4类长度管线的安全距离图谱,可供高压直流接地极及管线设计时参考,并且可以作为拟建高压直流接地极或埋地管线安全距离选取的依据。     

In‐plane shear damage behaviours of 2D needled C/SiC composites

Understanding the in‐plane shear behaviour of composites is essential to establish the design basis for practical applications. This study aims to investigate the shear damage behaviours of 2D needled C/SiC composites by various characterization techniques. The effect of layer arrangement on shear modulus and strength was discussed via shear stress‐strain responses. The shear strain field evolution and uniformity variation were studied by digital image correlation. It shows that the uniformity of shear strain field changes with the shear load, and the shear strain field evolution consist of 5 stages. The electrical resistivity measurement results indicate that structural deformation and damage evolution caused the electrical resistivity change. Furthermore, the damage evolution has a double effect on the electrical resistivity variation. The acoustic emission monitoring shows that the shear damage evolution is a 3‐stage nonlinear process before failure. The shear damages were categorized via acoustic characteristics. Besides, the postfailure behaviours were also discussed in this study.     

Microstructural and Tribological Behavior of Pulse Electroplated Nickel Barrier on Copper Conductors

The microstructural, mechanical, and tribological behaviors of electroplated Ni on Cu conducting substrates have been investigated in this study. The microstructural studies were performed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results showed that initially (111) with (220), (200) Ni texture components were predominant in the coating, and increasing the current density from 0.1 to 0.5 A/cm² led to the development of a strong (111) texture. The presence of ultrafine grains coupled with a (111) Ni texture improved the coating microhardness and wear properties significantly. It was shown that with an increase in current density, wear resistance of the coatings improved significantly and the electrical resistivity increased due to the highly populated grain boundaries.     

Development and performance analysis of novel in situ Cu–Ni/Al2O3 nanocomposites

Cu–Ni/Al₂O₃ nanocomposite powders were manufactured using an in situ chemical reaction technique. This technique provides improved wettability and adhesion between the matrix and reinforcement phases. Aluminum nitrate, copper nitrate and nickel nitrate were used as start materials for the production of the composites. The powders were sintered in a hydrogen environment at 900 °C for 2 h after being cold pressed at 700 MPa. To determine the effect of Al₂O₃ on electrical and thermal conductivities and thermal expansion behaviors, the Cu–Ni matrix was supplemented with 3, 5, and 8 wt% Al₂O₃. The findings revealed that Al₂O₃ nanoparticles (20 nm) were dispersed uniformly throughout the copper-nickel matrix. Microhardness was improved from 53.3 HV for Cu–Ni matrix to 92.7 HV for Cu–Ni/8%Al₂O₃ nanocomposites. The electrical and thermal conductivities and thermal expansion coefficient were reduced as the amount of Al₂O₃ in the Cu–Ni matrix increased. The electrical conductivity was reduced by 38.7% by addition 5% Al₂O₃ nanoparticles to Cu–Ni matrix. The high interfacial bonding between Cu–Ni and Al₂O₃ nanoparticles was the main reason of the hardness improvement and maintaining relatively good electrical and thermal properties.
