Based on well-established physical relationships, a semiempirical set of equations dictating
the electrical conductivity of dense, strongly coupled, partially ionized copper is presented …

Accelerating the resource recycling of plastics and creating a recycling-oriented society
require the development of efficient recycling technology for resin adhesives used in many …

This paper presents comprehensive analytical, numerical and experimental research of the
compact and integrated high-power pulse generation and forming system based on the flux …

We present the experimental results of the nanometer Zn films electrical explosion in the air.
The film destruction is accompanied with the stratification; the strata are formed in the …

This paper presents the design and test of a 0.5 MA generator with a tunable pulse shape.
The main parts are: the storage capacitor (3.95 μ F∼ 12.6 kJ at 80 kV), multi-channel coaxial …

Compact transportable generators are required for simulating a lightning current pulse for
electrical apparatus testing. A bi-exponential current pulse has to be formed by such a …

Experiments demonstrate a strong dependence of the energy deposition and morphology of
exploding Al wires in argon gas on ambient pressures, charging voltage, and wire sizes. The …

When there is a fast release of energy in any suitable fluid, a shock wave is produced. One
of the ways to create shock waves in a laboratory environment is the use of an exploding …

An exploding wire model that accounts for the electric field enhanced conductivity of dense
metal plasma is applied to simulate an exploding wire opening switch. In contrast to many z …

Exploding wires (EWs) are subjected to high current densities of the order of 10 7 A/cm 2
inducing metal vaporization and plasma formation on a microsecond timescale. Single …
