Influence of Steam Curing Method on the Performance of Concrete Containing a Large Portion of Mineral Admixtures by Mengyuan Li, Qiang Wang, Jun Yang

“…A comparison was made between the impact of raising the thermostatic temperature and the impact of prolonging the thermostatic time on the performance of steam-cured concrete containing a large portion of fly ash (FA) or ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS) by analysing the form removal strength, chemically combined water content, reaction degree, strength development, chloride permeability, and volume stability. …”

Collision detection and external force estimation for robot manipulators using a composite momentum observer by Benaoumeur Ibari, Mourad Hebali, Baghdadi Rezali, Menaouer Bennaoum

“…The current collision detection methods using observers are still suffering from the problem of an unavoidable trade-off between the estimation sensitivity and the reduction of the peaking value at the initial time. To satisfy both robustness and avoid peaking phenomenon at the initial time, a composite observer was designed, consisting of both a momentum observer and an extended state observer. …”

Experimental and model analysis of the thermoelectric characteristics of serial arc in prismatic lithium‐ion batteries by Wenqiang Xu, Languang Lu, Kai Zhou, Yalun Li, Bin Gao

“…The arc voltages at different electrode spacings are analysed, and the electric field distribution, magnetic field distribution, arc temperature and flow velocity around the arc are investigated to determine the maximum values and locations of the electric field strength, magnetic density, arc temperature and flow velocity at the time of the arc fault. Then, on the basis of the series arc experimental platform, determine the value of the arc starting voltage and the critical power supply voltage that produces a stable arc, analyse the evolution of the arc burning time with different loop currents, the evolution of the arc of the separation gap, and then summarise the effect of the disaster on the battery. …”
