Smart thermoregulatory textiles based on phase change materials (PCMs) provide thermal
comfort for humans. However, single mode of smart thermoregulatory textiles is difficult to …

This work explores the dynamic laws of electrical contact resistance (ECR) signals measured
in the sliding current-carrying friction tests based on chaos theory. It is found that ECR time …

This article aims to develop a wear simulation method considering thermal-electrical-
mechanical coupling to obtain the evolutions of contact variables and electrical resistance. Then, …

Recently, deep reinforcement learning (DRL)-based trajectory planning methods have been
designed for manipulator trajectory planning, given their potential in solving the problem of …

The inspection and maintenance of power distribution network are crucial for efficiently
delivering electricity to consumers. Due to the high voltage of power distribution network lines, …

Thermal contact resistance (TCR) exists widely in heat transfer structures. However,
available studies failed to reveal the effect of elastoplastic thermal softening (EPTS) on TCR. …

Maintenance tasks in distribution networks are often accompanied by hazards associated with
high altitudes and high voltages. By utilising robots instead of human operators to perform …

Power cables are widely used in various fields of power transmission, and cable accessories
are the weakest link in power cable systems due to their complex structure and multi-layer …

Electrical contact resistance (ECR) affecting the work behavior is a key index to evaluate the
electrical contact capacity of electrical connectors. A large number of factors affecting ECR …

The development of integrated public transportation networks has received widespread
attention in recent years. Especially in global northern cities, improving the substitution of …
