    Dielectric Breakdown and Electrical Aging of Insulating Polymer Materials in High Voltage Systems

    By Digvijay Kanase, Suraj Pawar, Gajkumar Kavathekar, Sachin Jadhav, Shankar Chavan, Swapnil Patil, Jayant Mane, Rajeshkumar Damodharan, Abhay Dashrath, Vijay Bhambere, Girish Modak, Ganesh Patil, KamalKishor Maniyar

    Abstract: In this paper, a detailed analysis of dielectric breakdown and electrical aging behavior of high-voltage insulating polymer material has been proposed through sophisticated MATLAB simulation. The research involves electric field modeling, aging life prediction, partial discharge (PD) behavior and uncertainty modeling using Monte Carlo analysis. Electric field hotspots causing critical behavior, sensitivity of the lifespan to electric stress, and the stochastic PD build-up allow predictive diagnostics of the health of …

    Abstract: Metal matrix composites work in concert with reinforcement to improve the material's qualities. Reliability in joining metal matrix composites using traditional methods is challenging. Friction Stir Welding has demonstrated the ability to solve numerous issues that arise in traditional welding procedures. Initially, the Friction Stir Welding (FSW) welding procedure produced metal seams that were solid. Additionally, FSW was expanded to join MMCs and their alloys. The purpose of this review …
