This paper studies the electrical properties of open-celled aluminium foams manufactured by a novel sintering-dissolution process (SDP) using non-destructive eddy current testing. Experimental measurement results are first presented by means of an impedance analyser under swept frequency testing for the determination of electrical conductivity of Al foams. A double air-cored solenoidal sensor h...

lu3+/yb3+ and lu3+/er3+ co-doped sb2se3 nanomaterials were synthesized by a co-reduction method in hydrothermal condition. powder xrd patterns indicate that the lnxln′xsb2-2xse3 ln: lu3+/yb3+ and lu3+/er3+ crystals (x= 0.00-0.04) are isostructural with sb2se3. the cell parameters were increased for compounds upon increasing the dopant content (x). sem and tem images show that co-doping of lu3+/...

abstract time domain reflectometry (tdr) is a widely used method for measuring the dielectric constant (ka) and bulk electrical conductivity (σa) in soils. the tdr-measured σa and ka can be used to calculate the soil solution electrical conductivity, (σp). a theoretical model describing a linear relationship between bulk electrical conductivity, σa, and dielectric constant, ka, in moist soil wa...

We characterize the ability of electrical impedance tomography (EIT) to distinguish changes in internal conductivity distributions, and analyze it as a function of stimulation and measurement patterns. A distinguishability measure, z, is proposed which is related to the signal-to-noise ratio of a medium and to the probability of detection of conductivity changes in a region of interest. z is a ...

the variations of the electrical conductivity with temperature and electric field of the ternary alloy of gallium, aluminium and arsenic (al0.75ga0.25as) with atomic compositions of 99/1 and 98/2 have been investigated. the electrical conductivity of the alloy increases with temperature according to the relation, ? = ?0 exp (??/kt). the activation energy calculated from this empirical relation ...

An empirical electrical conductivity assessment of nanofluids comprising CuO nanoparticles water-based in different concentrations, particles size and various temperatures of nanofluids has been carried out in this paper. These experimentations have been done in deionized water with nanoparticles sizes such as 89, 95, 100 and 112 nm and concentrations of 0.12 g/l, 0.14 g/l, 0.16 g/l and 0.18 g/...

Anisotropic electrical properties can be found in biological tissues such as muscles and nerves. Conductivity tensor is a simplified model to express the effective electrical anisotropic information and depends on the imaging resolution. The determination of the conductivity tensor should be based on Ohm's law. In other words, the measurement of partial information of current density and the el...

Electrical tomography can be used as a structural health monitoring technique to identify different damage mechanisms in composite laminates. Previous work has established the link between transverse cracking density and mesoscale conductivity of the ply. Through the mesoscale relationship, the conductivity obtained from electrical tomography can be used as a measure of the transverse cracking ...
