Methods Multi stress aging tests of model generator stator bar specimens were performed and PD measurements were conducted using digital PD detector with frequency range from 40?kHz to 400?kHz at different aging stage. Results From the test results of model specimens it was found that the skewness of phase resolved PD distribution might be taken as the characterization parameters for aging extent assessment of generator insulation. Furthermore, the measurement results of actual generator stator bars showed that the method based on statistical parameters of PD distributions are prospective for aging extent assessment and residual lifetime estimation of large generator insulation. Conclusion Statistical parameters of phase resolved PD distribution was proposed for aging extent assessment of large generator insulation.展开更多

Among metabolic processes, obesity, metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes mellitus are included and Alzheimer’s disease among the neurodegenerative processes. Stress is a mechanism of defense of the organism against exogenous and endogenous actions called stressors. In the case of low intensity stimuli, the organism responds with actions aimed at a physiological adaptation (Homeostasis). On the other hand, when a high intensity (experimental level) or chronic stimulus (oxidative stress) is repeated, structural and functional changes are observed in different organs with activation of the hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal axis, the renin angiotensin system and the sympathetic nervous system, stimulating the production of hormones that release cytokines with proin-flammatory/antiinflammatory properties that play an important role in the previously mentioned pathologies, as well as a marked increase in PAI-1, a gene regulated by stress and by cytokines, with manifest action at the origin of thromboembolic disease, so frequent in aging. The objective of this review is to highlight the importance of the binomial stress and PAI-1 in aging and in the pathologies that accompany it. Because PAI-1 is part of the pathology and complications in aging, some authors suggest the study of PAI-1 inhibitors to achieve its physiological levels, as part of the treatment of these diseases.展开更多

The long term aging of the specimens after full heat treatment was performed at 1040℃for 800 h. The effect of Hf on the microstructure and stress rupture properties under 980℃/250 MPa of the alloy after long term aging was investigated. The results show that the γ＇ coarsening and rafting and no topologically close packed phase （TCP） are observed in the microstructures of DD6 alloy with different Hf contents after aged at 1 040℃ for 800 h. It indicates that DD6 alloy with different Hf contents all possesses good microstructure stability. With increasing Hf content the rupture life after long term aging turns shorter and the elongation represents the increasing first and decreasing afterwards. The fracture mechanism of the alloy with different Hf contents at 980℃/250 MPa all shows dimple model. The influence of the microstructures on the stress rupture properties of the alloy is also discussed.展开更多
