This paper presents study on the electric potential distribution when have a short in street lamp. In order to measure electric potential testing ground is built in. A experiment is conducted to simulate dry and submerged situation of street lamp. The street lamp is leaked by artificial means. And electric potential is measured in grounded street lamp and street lamp alone. The results show that touch voltage of grounded street lamp is possible more high than street lamp alone. And the electric shock hazard is high because high electric potential is distributed near submerged street lamp. Also if street lamp is submerged ground is not useful to decrease electric shock hazard.

This paper considers the electrical shock risk of the human body due to underwater leakage current in such places of public baths. Many submerged electric facilities in a public bath may create a severe electric shock hazard for the human body, since wet body in an accidentally energized bathtub can result in low electrical resistance through the human body for leakage or fault currents. Therefore a major consideration, in the context of electrical safety underwater, is the shock risk to the bather as a result of electric current flowing through the water in bathtub. To assess the electric shock risk and to analyze the potential distribution in a bathtub, 2 different situation cases are set up, then experimental and simulation methods are adopted. The validity of 2 cases of simulation and experiment data in a bathtub for electric distribution underwater are compared and analyzed. Also electric shock risk assessment underwater in a real public bathtub by simulation program package, Flux 3D, was conducted herein, and the results are presented and discussed.

This paper presents a new method of solving the electric potential distribution using the finite element method. The thoracic region surrounded by the body surface and the heart is discretized into finite elements and the Continuous Laplace-equation is transformed into one of the finite degrees of freedom. The current source density, the conductivity, and the excitable range is obtained by the references. From the result of simulation, it was revealed that the potential pattern of in homogeneity was much different from that of homogeneity.

Despite the exponential throughput improvement in mobile communications systems, their ability to satisfy requirements of state-of-the-art and future applications of advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) is still under investigation. Challenges are mainly due to the inadequacy of third generation partnership project (3GPP) networks to support large amounts of devices simultaneously, while the number of AMI end-devices and the frequency of their data transmission increase with new AMI-based applications. In this introductory survey, innovative and future AMI applications and their communication requirements are first reviewed. Then, we identify challenges of 3GPP long term evolution (LTE) in enabling future AMI applications. More importantly, the latest improvements to LTE-A standard release 12 and 13 are reviewed and analyzed with regards to their potential to improve the quality of LTE-enabled AMI. It is found that 3GPP enhancements on machine type communications (MTC) standards will significantly enhance AMI communications. Beyond MTC specifications, non-MTC-specific enhancements such as carrier aggregation and multi-connectivity for user equipment will also contribute greatly to improving reliability and availability of AMI devices. The paper's focus is towards improved backhaul support for innovative and future AMI applications, beyond traditional automatic meter reading.

최근에 들어와 가로등에 의한 감전사고가 지속적으로 발생하고 있다. 특히 집중호우로 인해 가로등이 침수될 경우 누전에 의한 감전 사고는 매우 높다. 전기감전사고가 발생할 경우 사고전압을 분석해 보면 주로 220V의 저압시설물에서 발생되고 있으나 이에 대한 위험성을 충분히 인식하지 못하고 있는 실정이다. 가로등 시설물의 사용전압 220V는 주로 일반인이 쉽게 접촉할 수 있는 도로변에 시설되어 있기 때문에 감전사고의 위험성은 매우 높은 편이다. 그러나 가로등 침수로 인해 누전이 발생했을 경우 누전체에서의 거리변화에 따른 수중전위분포가 인체에 미치는 영향을 연구하는 사례는 미약한 실정이다. 본 논문에서는 수중에서 누전이 발생했을 경우에 인체에 미치는 영향과 수중전위분포를 분석하고 수중에서 누전체와의 거리 및 깊이에 따른 변화가 어떻게 인체에 영향을 주는지 실험을 통하여 감전경로와 감전메카니즘을 비교 분석하고자 한다.

DC distribution system has been evaluated as an excellent one in comparison with existing AC distribution network because it needs fewer power conversion stages and the full capacity of the equipment can be used without consideration for power factor. Recently, research and development on the implementation of DC distribution networks have been progressed globally based on the rapid advancement in power-electronics technology, and the technological developments from the viewpoint of infrastructure are also in progress. However, to configure a distribution network which is a distribution line for DC, more accurate and rapid introduction of analysis technology is needed for the monitoring, control and operation of the system, which ensure the system run flexible and efficiently. However, in case of a bipolar DC distribution network, there are two buses acting as slack buses, so the Jacobian matrix cannot be configured. Without solving this problem, DC distribution network cannot be operated when the network is unbalanced. Therefore, this paper presented a comprehensive method of analysis with consideration of operating elements which are directly connected between neutral electric potential caused by the unbalanced of load in DC distribution network with bipolar structure.

It is evaluated that electric shock risk in bath so that we made and designed a bathtub which is the same size in real public bath. And then, we did an experiment, provided of electric leakage in various conditions, so we measured how to form an electric potential and knew the electric potential is formed variously under exposed conductor in bath. Also, we made certain that electric shock risk is down if we insert an insulated pipe in bathtub pipe which is prevent from being formed the electric field sharply. The results show that the increased shock risk and safe distance are estimated by the bathtub of limited width and depth, and the voltage simulated on the basis of Flux 3D concept is compared with the measured value.

This paper presents an efficient and accurate coupled beam model for piezoelectric bimorphs based on improved first-order shear deformation theory (FSDT). The model combines the equivalent single layer approach for the mechanical displacements and a layerwise modeling for the electric potential. General electric field function is proposed to reasonably approximate the through-the-thickness distribution of the applied and induced electric potentials. Layerwise defined shear correction factor (k) accounting for nonlinear shear strain distribution is introduced into both the shear stress resultant and the electric displacement integration. Analytical solutions for free vibrations and forced response under electromechanical loads are obtained for the simply supported piezoelectric bimorphs with series or parallel arrangement, and the numerical results for various length-to-thickness ratios are compared with the exact two-dimensional piezoelasticity solution. Excellent predictions with low error estimates of local and global responses as well as the modal frequencies are observed.
