Contact Resistance Analysis of Silver Impregnated Graphite Contacts used in Metal to Carbon Relays
نویسندگان
چکیده
Metal to Carbon Relays are used in railway signaling on Indian Railways for operating various signaling functions viz. signals / points / track which make and break as per the signaling logic and operate the signaling equipment. The reliability of these relays is very poor and its major reason is High Contact Resistan operations and adversely affects the train safety & punctuality. HCR were determined through Design of Experiment.

متن کاملMetal–nanocarbon contacts
To realize nanocarbons in general and carbon nanotube (CNT) in particular as on-chip interconnect materials, the contact resistance stemming from the metal–CNT interface must be well understood and minimized. Understanding the complex mechanisms at the interface can lead to effective contact resistance reduction. In this study, we compile existing published results and understanding for two met...

This comment is on the paper ‘‘Piezoresistive Effect in SiOC Ceramics for Integrated Pressure Sensors’’, by Riedel et al. The experimental method of testing the piezoresistive behavior is flawed in this paper, as explained below. A similar flaw exists in Zhang et al. which is referenced by the subject paper. Due to this flaw, the piezoresistive results are not reliable. Piezoresistivity refers ...

The improvement of electrical conductivity of carbon-fiber reinforced plastics (CFRP) has been investigated by conductive silver nano-particles coating for the purpose of aircraft lightning protection. Silver nano-particles in colloid were sprayed on the surface of carbon fibers, which were then impregnated by epoxy resin to form a CFRP specimen. Electrical resistance was measured by contact re...
متن کاملThermal Contact Resistance and Thermal Conductivity of a Carbon Nanofiber
We have measured the thermal resistance of a 152-nm-diameter carbon nanofiber before and after a platinum layer was deposited on the contacts between the nanofiber and the measurement device. The contact resistance was reduced by the platinum coating for about 9–13% of the total thermal resistance of the nanofiber sample before the platinum coating. At a temperature of 300 K, the axial thermal ...
