Electron Temperature Measurement by Floating Probe Method Using AC Voltage

This study presents a novel floating probe method to measure electron temperatures using a hollow cathode-type discharge tube. The proposed method detects a shift in the floating potential when an AC voltage is applied to a probe through an intermediary blocking capacitor.The shift in the floating potential is described as a function of the electron temperature and the applied AC voltage. The floating probe method is simpler than the Langmuir probe method because it does not require the measurement of volt-ampere characteristics. As the input AC voltage increases, the electron temperature converges. The electron temperature measured using the floating probe method with an applied sinusoidal voltage shows a value close to the first(tail)electron temperature in the range of the floating potential.     

Fretting fatigue limit as a short crack problem at the edge of contact

This paper proposes a local stress concept to evaluate the fretting fatigue limit for contact edge cracks. A unique S–N curve based on the local stress could be obtained for a contact edge crack irrespective of mechanical factors such as contact pressure, relative slip, contact length, specimen size and loading type. The analytical background for the local stress concept was studied using FEM analysis. It was shown that the local stress uniquely determined the ΔK change due to crack growth as well as the stress distribution near the contact edge. The condition that determined the fretting fatigue limit was predicted by combining the ΔK change due to crack growth and the ΔK_th for a short crack. The formation of a non‐propagating crack at the fatigue limit was predicted by the model and it was experimentally confirmed by a long‐life fretting fatigue test.     

Effects of gamma-ray irradiation on electronic and non-electronic equipment of Large Helical Device

In a deuterium operation on the Large Helical Device,the measurement and control equipment placed in the torus hall must survive under an environment of radiation.To study the effects of gamma-ray irradiation on the equipment,an irradiation experiment is performed at the Cobalt-60 irradiation facility of Nagoya University.Transient and permanent effects on a personal computer,media converters,programmable logic controllers,isolation amplifiers,a web camera,optical flow meters,and water sealing gaskets are experimentally surveyed.Transient noise appears on the web camera.Offset of the signal increases with an increase of the integrated dose on the programmable logic controller.The DeviceNet module on the programmable logic controller is broken at the integrated dose of 72 Gy,which is the expected range of the integrated dose of the torus hall.The other equipment can survive under the gamma-ray field in the torus hall.

Meaning of state-space representation and its relation to canonical form Part 2. Controllability and constructibility

State space is one of the key concepts of systems theory. In the previous paper (Nakano et al. 1987) a system-theoretic framework about the choice of a state space was developed and the canonical forms of linear control theory were interpreted. Four realizations of a single-input and single-output discrete basic linear system were constructed. The isomorphism between the realizations and the universal state space representation shows systemic meanings of the state space. In this paper, using the same approach, two other realizations—a controllability realization and a constructibility realization—are constructed. By the matrix representations of these realizations the meanings of the controllability and constructibility canonical forms are shown in relation to the universal state-space representation.     

Experimental study of the modified peniotron using TE,, rectangular waveguide cavity

The modified peniotron is expected to have an extremely high conversion efficiency and a higher output power in centimetre and millimetre wave regions than those of the original peniotron. This paper describes the design considerations of a test tube used for experimental confirmation of its promising features, and shows some experimental results in connection with electron beam and oscillation characteristics obtained up to the present
