Tracking, which is one of the main causes of electrical fires, is perceived as a physical phenomenon of electrical discharge. Hence tracking should be explained based on electric field analysis, conduction path by electron generation, and gas discharge physics. However, few papers have considered these details. This paper proposes a tracking mechanism including their effects on tracking progress. In order to prove this mechanism, a tracking experiment, an electric field analysis for the carbonization evolution model, and an explanation of the tracking process by gas discharge physics were conducted. From the tracking experiment, the current waveforms were measured at each stage of the tracking progress from corona discharge to tracking breakdown. The electric field analysis was carried out in order to determine the electric field on the surface of a dry-band and the high electric field region for electron generation during the generation and progress of carbonization. In this paper, the proposed tracking mechanism consisted of six stages including electron avalanche by corona discharge, accumulation of positive ions, expansion of electron avalanche, secondary electron emission avalanche, streamer, and tracking by conductive path. The pulse current waveforms measured in the tracking experiment can be explained by the proposed tracking mechanism. The results of this study will be used as the technical data to detect tracking phenomenon, which is the cause of electric fire, and to improve the proof tracking index.

In order to clarify the trend of change in mineral nutrients in rice plant on various ripening process, P$_2$O$\sub$5/, K$_2$O, MgO, CaO, SiO$_2$ and ash contents were determined for the grain, internode, leaf-5heath and leaf blade respectively for 9 times at an week interval after heading. Four rice cultivars with different maturity and ecotype were grown under normal cultural conditions for the trial. The contents of mineral nutrients in the brown rice were in the order of Ash, P$_2$O$\sub$5/, K$_2$O and MgO. CaO and SiO$_2$ were found in minute quantity in the brown rice. The hull contained SiO$_2$ in large quantity, and it also contained the mineral nutrients in the order of K$_2$O, P$_2$ O$\sub$5/O. The CaO content of hull was extremely minute.

Plane-strain fatigue crack growth behavior of 7075-76 aluminium alloy was investigated by using side-grooved through-thickness center cracked tension(CCT) specimens. The effect of side-groove on the stress intensity factor value was examined. The effective thickness expression of $B_{e}$= $B_{o}$-( $B_{o}$-( $B_{ o-B_{n}^{2}}$ $B_{o}$ is the most appropriate to evaluate the stress intensity factor of side-grooved CCT specimen for fatigue testing. Fatigue crack growth rates can be well described by the effective stress intensity factor range based on closure measurements, for both side-grooved and uniform thickness specimens. Provided that the thickness of specimen meets the requirements for valid plane-strain fracture toughness, uniform thickness specimen data may be assumed to approximately represent the plane strain through-thickness crack growth behavior.ehavior.r.

Septoria brown spot caused by Septoria glycines Hemmi is one of the serious fungal diseases in soybean. Since little has been known about the disease progress in the field, the present study was conducted to determine the factors affecting the disease progress in the soybean plant. Disease severity and pattern of the progress of the Septoria brown spot were different with varieties. Susceptibility of soybean plants increased with increase of plant age and leaf maturity in order from the primary leaf to the newly expanded leaf. It seemed to be related with conidial germination on the leaves. Germination and germtube elongation were more inhibited by the diffusates obtained from upper leaves than those from lower leaves and they were higher in a susceptible variety than in a moderately resistant one.

In this study, to investigate the effects of omitting low-amplitude cycles from a flight-simulation loading, crack growth tests are conducted on 2124-T851 aluminum alloy specimens. Three test spectra are generated by omitting small load ranges as counted by the rain-flow count method. The crack growth test results are compared with the data obtained from the flight-simulation loading. The experimental results show that omission of the load ranges below 5% of the maximum load does not significantly affect crack growth behavior, because these are below the initial stress intensity factor range. However, in the case of omitting the load ranges below 15% of the maximum load, crack growth rates decrease, and therefore crack growth curve deviates from the crack growth data under the flight-simulation loading. To optimize the load range that can be omitted, crack growth curves are simulated by the stochastic crack growth model. The prediction shows that the omission level can be extended to 8% of the maximum load and test time can be reduced by 59%.

A modified $C^{*}$ integral as load parameter in creep fracture is proposed considering the effect of crack growth. It is shown that the parameter does not depend on crack velocity. By performing experiment using STS 304 stainless steel at 600.deg.C the validity of the parameter is investigated. The results show that the parameter is a good measure as a load parameter in creep fracture and the rate of crack tip opening displacement can also be a creep load parameter for STS 304 at 600.deg.

This study presents a prognostic technique for the damage state of a ball bearing. A stochastic bearing fatigue defect-propagation model is applied to estimate the damage progression rate. The damage state and the time to failure are computed by using RMS data from noisy acceleration signals. The parameters of the stochastic defect-propagation model are identified by conducting a series of run-to-failure tests for ball bearings. A regularized particle filter is applied to predict the damage progression rate and update the degradation state based on the acceleration RMS data. The future damage state is predicted based on the most recently measured data and the previously predicted damage state. The developed method was validated by comparing the prognostic results and the test data.

This paper presents a diagnosis teclmique using ultrasonic sensors for monitoring the growth of partial discharge in power transformers. This teclmique counts the ultrasonic pulses generated from partial discharge over a threshold leveL In experiments, a ultrasonic generator and the point to plane electrodes generated ultrasonic pulses. With a constant voltage between the electrodes, the ultrasonic pulses over a threshold were a fairly constant. When the voltage increased or insulation paper was inserted between the electrodes, the partial discharge increased. In this case the number of ultrasonic pulses also increased and therefore the proposed teclmiques successfully diagnosed the growth of partial discharge.
