Abstract:Authors have developed the mechanism which gives damping vibration to electrical contacts by reciprocal hammering-oscillation and the other new mechanism which gives periodical micro-sliding to electrical contacts directly driven by a magmetostrictive actuator or a piezo-electrical one. It was shown that each mechanism was able to make a test simulate an actual degradation phenomenon on electrical contacts by the influence of micro-oscillation. Using the above mechanisms and their models they have studied the … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
