Comparison of engineering failures and seismic responses of 500 kV transformer-bushing systems in the 2022 Luding earthquake

Cemented and mechanically clamped types of end fittings(fitting-C and fitting-M)are commonly used in transformer bushings.During the Luding Ms 6.8 earthquake that occurred in China on September 5,2022,all transformer bushings with the two types of end fittings in a 500 kV substation were damaged.Post-earthquake field investigations were conducted,and the failures of the two types of bushings were compared.Two elementary simulation models of the transformer-bushing systems were developed to simulate the engineering failures,and further compute their seismic responses for comparison.The results indicate that the hitch lugs of the connection flange are structurally harmful to seismic resistance.Fitting-M can decrease the bending stiffness of the bushing due to the flexible sealing rubber gasket.Since it provides a more flexible connection that dissipates energy,the peak accelerations and relative displacements at the top of the bushing are significantly lower than those of the bushing with fitting-C.Compared with fitting-C,fitting-M transfers the high-stress areas from the connection flange to the root of the porcelain,so the latter becomes the most vulnerable component.Fitting-M increases the failure risk of the low-strength porcelain,indicating the unsuitability of applying it in high-intensity fortification regions.

Dielectric Properties of Capacitive-Type Humidity Sensor Made under Different Pressures

Capacitive humidity sensors were made of nanometer barium titanate.The pellets were prepared under different pressures between 3920N to 7850N force.The capacitance changes in three orders of magnitude in the relative humidity range of 10%～98%,indicating high humidity sensitivity of the sensors.At a certain measuring frequency,the capacitance of the sensors increases as increasing of the preparation pressure,while the sensitivity of the sensors basically remains the same.The frequencies corresponding to the peaks of the dielectric loss of the sensors move to the higher frequency direction as increasing of the relative humidity.At a certain humidity,the frequencies corresponding to the peaks of the dielectric loss move to the higher frequency direction as increasing of the preparation pressure.

Study on Heating Uniformity of Pt-Rh Alloy Bushing for Producing Flexible Glass

The numerical simulation for temperature distribution of Pt-Rh alloy bushing was carried out using a thermal-electric module in ANSYS Workbench finite element analysis software.The effects of side wall thickness,plug thickness,the angle of two side walls and electrode structure on the uniformity of temperature distribution were investigated.Meanwhile,the contrastive analysis results of bushing with and without glass melt were discussed.The simulation results show that,when the homogeneous glass melt flows through bushing,the temperature difference between the center and both ends of bushing is decreased significantly,but the temperature distribution at both ends of bushing is still affected by heating non-uniformity of bushing.Compared with side wall thickness,plug thickness and the angle of two side walls,electrode structure plays a greater role in adjusting heating uniformity of bushing.

Platinum/rhodium Alloy Bushing for Drawing Glass Fibers in Centrifugal-spinneret-blow Process

In this paper,glass fibers were prepared by centrifugal-spinneret-blow(CSB) process.The molten glass got different flow rate from 390 kg/h to 270 kg/h by adjusting the electric current of platinum/10 rhodium alloy bushing.The diameter and microstructure of glass fibers have been investigated by scanning electron microscopy(SEM) and vertical optical microscope(VOM).The results indicated that the flow rate of molten glass was proportional to the diameter of glass fibers when the molten glass got main flow rate of 330 kg/h.The lower the flow rate was,the finer the average diameter was.

The Investigation of Replacing Ceramic Bushings with Silicon Bushings in the Distribution Transformers

In recent years, the deficiencies of ceramic insulators along with their high maintenance costs have resulted in the replacement of ceramic insulators with silicon type in the pollution area. This idea has been employed for more than two decades in the polluted areas. Humidity of the weather in the south of Iran and the presence of pollutants in the air have made special conditions for construction and maintenance of some equipment including transformer bushings. Usual ceramic bushings, due to their ability in absorbing pollution and the rapid reduction of creepage distance (in a limited time period), have reduced transformer disconnection severely as a result of earth fault. Additionally, they are costly to be washed regularly. Therefore, using intelligent materials in designing bushing can increase the reliability of network and consequently reduction of costs. In this regard, this paper investigates the use of silicon bushings in the distribution systems and proposes operational ideas for the optimal operation of these devices in the polluted areas. The sample bushing was evaluated based on the IEC60137 standard test.

Torsional stiffness modeling and optimization of the rubber torsion bushing for a light tracked vehicle

Taking the rubber torsion bushing of a certain type of all-terrain tracked vehicle as the research object,a theoretical model of torsional stiffness was proposed according to the non-linear characteristics of rubber components and structural feature of the suspension. Simulations were carried out under different working conditions to obtain root mean square of vertical weighted acceleration as the evaluation index for ride performance of the all-terrain tracked vehicle,with a dynamics model of the whole vehicle based on the theoretical model of the torsional stiffness and standard road roughness as excitation input. Response surface method was used to establish the parametric optimization model of the torsional stiffness. The evaluation index showed that ride performance of the vehicle with optimized torsional stiffness model of suspension was improved compared with previous model fromexperiment. The torsional stiffness model of rubber bushing provided a theoretical basis for the design of the rubber torsion bushing in light tracked vehicles.

The failure rate of crankpin bearing bush of diesel engine under complex working conditions such as high temperature,dynamic load and variable speed is high.After serious wear,it is easy to deteriorate the stress state of connecting rod body and connecting rod bolt,resulting in serious accidents such as connecting rod fracture and body damage.Based on the mixed lubrication characteristics of connecting rod big endbearing shell of diesel engine under high explosion pressure impact load,an improved mixed lubrication mechanism model is established,which considers the influence of viscoelastic micro deformation of bearing bush material,integrates the full film lubrication model and dry friction model,couples dynamic equation of connecting rod.Then the actual lubrication state of big end bearing shell is simulated numerically.Further,the correctness of the theoretical research results is verified by fault simulation experiments.The results show that the high-frequency impact signal with fixed angle domain characteristics will be generated after the serious wear of bearing bush and the deterioration of lubrication state.The fault feature capture and alarm can be realized through the condition monitoring system,which can be applied to the fault monitoring of connecting rod bearing bush of diesel engine in the future.

美国布什政府对韩国反美主义的认识与应对——基于美国解密档案的解读

上世纪80年代的韩国是全球最反美的国家之一。美国解密档案显示,里根政府总体上对韩国的反美主义采取置若罔闻的态度,但继任的布什政府则不一样。由于布什一上台就计划访问韩国,所以如何应对反美主义一开始就进入了决策视野。美国在详细分析韩国反美主义产生的原因和发展趋势后,采取了一些针对性措施,包括公开阐明美国与光州事件无关,降低美国在韩国公众视野中的存在感,修改《驻韩美军地位协定》,移交韩军平时作战控制权,满足韩国虚荣心等。美国的举措在一段时间内和一定程度上缓和了韩国人的反美情绪,但显然未能从根本上化解这一问题。因为美国对韩国反美主义产生根源的认识并不深刻,也不愿公开承认反美主义主要是美国造成的,所以采取的政策措施不够彻底。这导致潜伏的反美情绪遇到适合的气候和土壤时又会重新出现。

考虑柔性副车架的某轿车操纵稳定性优化研究

一般车辆仿真是在副车架为刚性的假设下进行研究的,然而副车架实际上为柔性。为研究副车架柔性化和材料属性变化对操纵稳定性优化的影响,利用HYPERMESH软件模态计算得到前副车架的柔性体文件,并进行模态分析,避免其与发动机和车身产生共振。将柔性前副车架导入ADAMS软件替换原有刚性前副车架,建立某轿车具有不同材料属性的柔性前副车架刚柔耦合模型,进行悬架K&C仿真和整车操纵稳定性仿真对比研究。以车辆操纵稳定性为优化目标,利用NSGA-Ⅱ算法对前副车架衬套刚度参数进行多目标优化设计。结果表明,柔性前副车架材料属性变化后的弹性变形会对悬架系统受力产生影响,从而改变悬架K&C特性,进而使整车刚柔耦合模型的操纵稳定性发生改变。改变材料属性也会使得前副车架与悬架和车身铰接处衬套刚度参数的多目标优化结果发生变化。多目标优化后横摆角速度增益、车身侧倾角增益和侧向加速度的延迟时间均降低,整车刚柔耦合模型操纵稳定性得到改善。
