This Dissertation deals with the design and optimization of two kinds of metal based switching devices: i) riveted electrical contacts which are studied in the first part, and ii) S-type thermal cutoffs which are considered ...

The influence of the semi-spherically and cylindrically shaped inhomogeneity on grounding systems in quasi-stationary regime is analyzed in this Ph. D. Thesis.Such inhomogeneities are present in practice and that is the ...

This Dissertation is focused on the design and optimization of the two types of metal based switching devices: rivet electrical contacts and S–type thermal cutoffs. Theoretical basis of the electrical contacts design is ...
