Insulation of valve-side windings in converter transformer withstands pulsating voltages, which will produce more serious insulation problems. In this paper, the electric breakdown experiments of oil-paper insulation specimens were executed at pulsating voltages and different temperatures. Experiment and analysis results showed that the breakdown voltage decreased with increasing temperature under pulsating voltage. The influence of temperature proves to be more significant once the temperature exceeds a limitation threshold. A fitting formula between breakdown voltage and the temperature was reported. Finally, in order to clearly understand the breakdown properties under pulsating voltage, the electric field distribution and space charge behavior under pulsating voltage at different temperature were discussed.

In this study, CT specimens were prepared from spring steel(SPS5) processed shot peening. The fatigue crack growth tests were carried out in the environment of the room temperature md low temperature at $25^{\circ}C$, $-30^{\circ}C$, $-50^{\circ}C$, $-70^{\circ}C$ $-100^{\circ}C$ and $-150^{\circ}C$ in the range of stress ratio of 0.05 by means of opening mode displacement. The threshold stress intensity factor range ΔKth in the early stage of fatigue crack growth (Region I) and stress intensity factor range $\Delta$K in the stable of fatigue crack growth (Region II) were decreased in proportion to descend temperature. It was shown that the fatigue resistance characteristics and fracture strength at low temperature are considerable higher than those of mom temperature in the early stage and stable of fatigue crack growth region.

Austenitic stainless steels(SUS 304, SUS 316), which are used for safety control valve of LNG carrier, are occasionally exposed in the cryogenic environment. In this regards, it is required to evaluate the mechanical characteristics under the low temperature environment. In this study, a series of uniaxial tensile test was carried out varying temperature for austenitic stainless steel. The phenomena of the strain-induced plasticity have been observed on the all temperature ranges. The critical value for threshold of 2nd hardening due to the phase transformation induced plasticity as well as the increase of hardening have been reported. The summarized experimental results would be used for the validation of numerical techniques applicable for the nonlinear hardening behavior of austenitic stainless steel under the cryogenic temperature environment.

To properly extract the strain components under varying operational conditions is very important in bridge health monitoring. The abnormal sensor readings can be correctly identified and the expected operational performance of the bridge can be better understood if each strain components can be accurately quantified. In this study, strain components under varying load conditions, i.e., temperature variation and live-load variation are evaluated based on field strain measurements collected from a real concrete box-girder bridge. Temperature-induced strain is mainly regarded as the trend variation along with the ambient temperature, thus a smoothing technique based on the wavelet packet decomposition method is proposed to estimate the temperature-induced strain. However, how to effectively extract the vehicle-induced strain is always troublesome because conventional threshold setting-based methods cease to function: if the threshold is set too large, the minor response will be ignored, and if too small, noise will be introduced. Therefore, an autoencoder framework is proposed to evaluate the vehicle-induced strain. After the elimination of temperature and vehicle-induced strain, the left of which, defined as the model error, is used to assess the operational performance of the bridge. As empirical techniques fail to detect the degraded state of the structure, a clustering technique based on Gaussian Mixture Model is employed to identify the damage occurrence and the validity is verified in a simulation study.

We proposed a new cross-coupled level shifter circuit using low temperature poly-Si(LTPS) TFT. The proposed level shifter can operate on low input voltage in spite of low mobility and widely varying high threshold voltage of LTPS TFT. Also, the proposed level shifter operates at high frequency and reduces power consumption for having fast rising and falling time and shortening period flowing short-circuit currents.

A novel pixel circuit that uses only n-type low-temperature polycrystalline silicon (poly-Si) thin-film transistors (LTPS-TFTs) to compensate the threshold voltage variation of a OLED driving TFT is proposed. The proposed 6T1C pixel circuit consists of 5 switching TFTs, 1 OLED driving TFT and 1 capacitor. When the threshold voltage of driving TFT varies by ${\pm}0.33$ V, Smartspice simulation results show that the maximum error rate of OLED current is 7.05 % and the error rate of anode voltage of OLED is 0.07 % at Vdata = 5.75 V. Thus, the proposed 6T1C pixel circuit can realize uniform output current with high immunity to the threshold voltage variation of poly-Si TFT.

The different hydrogen passivation effects on low-temperature processed and high-temperature processed poly-Si thin film transistors have been investigated. The hydrogen passivation on low-temperature processed poly-Si TFT results in the increase of the field-effect mobility and the decrease or the threshold voltage, while the hydrogenation increases the field-effect mobility and decreases the leakage current in high-temperature processed poly-Si TFT. The effective trap state densities of low-temperature processed poly-Si TFT before and after 5 hours of hydrogenation are estimated at about $4.0{\times}10^{12}/cm^2$ and $1.5{\times}10^{12}/cm^2$, while those of high-temperature processed poly-Si TFT are about $1.5{\times}10^{12}/cm^2$ and $1.2{\times}10^{12}/cm^2$, respectively.

Experiments were performed to verify if performance and characteristic curves obtained from the temperature differential defrosting method, where surface temperature is measured to judge defrosting condition, can be reproduced by the photoelectric technology where defrosting condition is judged by photoelectric sensors. The output voltage of a phototransistor and heating capacity, power consumption, and surface temperature of the outdoor heat exchanger are compared. The results showed that the photoelectric sensors can be used as a defrost control device. On-off control timings in temperature differential defrosting method are in good agreement with those predicted by the high and low threshold output voltages of the photoelectric sensor.

When the stagnation temperature of the combustion chamber or ambient air increases, the specific heats and their ratio do not remain constant any more, and start to vary with this temperature. The gas remains perfect, except, it will be calorically imperfect and thermally perfect. A new generalized form of the Prandtl Meyer function is developed, by adding the effect of variation of this temperature, lower than the threshold of dissociation. The new relation is presented in the form of integral of a complex analytical function, having an infinite derivative at the critical temperature. A robust numerical integration quadrature is presented in this context. The classical form of the Prandtl Meyer function of a perfect gas becomes a particular case of the developed form. The comparison is made with the perfect gas model for aim to present a limit of its application. The application is for air.

When the stagnation temperature of a perfect gas increases, the specific heats and their ratio do not remain constant any more and start to vary with this temperature. The gas remains perfect; its state equation remains always valid, except, it is named in more by calorically imperfect gas. The aim of this work is to trace the profiles of the supersonic axisymmetric Minimum Length Nozzle to have a uniform and parallel flow at the exit section, when the stagnation temperature is taken into account, lower than the dissociation threshold of the molecules, and to have for each exit Mach number and stagnation temperature shape of nozzle. The method of characteristics is used with the algorithm of the second order finite differences method. The form of the nozzle has a point of deflection and an initial angle of expansion. The comparison is made with the calorically perfect gas. The application is for air.
