Quasi-static analysis of electrostatic discharge (ESD) and the human body using a capacitance model

Non-contact electrostatic flow probes for measuring the flow rate and charge in the two-phase gas–solids flows

“…A more convenient form is as follows: where: C 1∞ , C 2∞ are the coefficients of self-capacitance of the bodies 1 and 2, respectively, with respect to the earth in infinity; C 12 , C 21 are the coefficients of mutual capacitance of the bodies 1 and 2, respectively; k 10 , k 20 are certain coupling factors which describe the degree to which electric flux associated with the point charge Q 0 terminates on the bodies 1 and 2 being earthed, respectively (Greason, 1995). If all the lines of flux from the body 0 terminate on the bodies 1 and 2, respectively, then the coupling is non-zero and k 10 = k 20 = 1.…”

Mathematical method for air electrostatic discharge circuits calculation

“…In [18], a dipole source model for predicting the ESD radiated fields is established, indicating that the near-fields are mainly depend on the ESD current value, and the time derivative of the current will largely determine the far-fields [19]. In [20,21], it is shown that the ESD signal has a much wider frequency width, and may cause the destruction of the electronic devices through entering the coaxial cables connecting systems.…”

An improved model of man for ESD applications

“…Specifically, the set of capacitances correlated to each elemental block takes into account the mutual proximity effects by means of an agile electrostatic version of the diakoptic method applied to perfectly conducting electrodes [5]. After [6], this preliminary phase of the calculation could also be useful for a quasistatic analysis of discharge's relative probability and severity. The resistance and inductance of each block are separately evaluated by a simplified model 171.…”
