  • Patent number: 11403446
    Abstract: The invention discloses a method for predicting a residual strength of a composite material after impact. The method includes: acquiring a first frequency value of a composite material to be tested after impact damage; determining a first frequency change rate according to an initial frequency value and the first frequency value of the composite material to be tested; inputting the first frequency change rate to a pre-constructed residual strength prediction model to predict a first residual strength of the composite material to be tested; the first frequency value and the initial frequency value being obtained by a modal test. Further, residual strength prediction may be performed on the composite material in service, the position and the size of impact damage, the impact energy, the shape and quality of the impact object are not required to be determined, which avoids a rigidity test of the composite material in service.

  • Patent number: 11009528
    Abstract: A system for measuring a cathode current includes a conducting bar and a current measuring device. The conducting bar has a rectangular plate-like structure, and a first end of the conducting bar is vertically cut to form a plurality of long teeth. The plurality of long teeth are equally spaced at the first end of the conducting bar. The number of the plurality of long teeth is equal to the number of cathodes. The upper surface of each of the long teeth may include a raised conductive contact. Each of the conductive contacts is connected with one cathode of an upstream slot. A second end of the conducting bar is connected with a downstream slot, and the second end of the conducting bar is one end opposite to the first end. The current measuring device is disposed on the conducting bar and used for measuring the current of each cathode.

  • Publication number: 20200284851
    Abstract: A method for predicting an electrode short circuit based on a current includes acquiring a current value of a cathode of an anode-cathode pair; acquiring a plurality of current values during a set period of time; determining an increased value of the plurality of current values varying with time; determining whether the increased value is within a set current range; if yes, using a linear fitting method to fit the plurality of current values in time sequence to obtain a linear model; acquiring a slope and a determining coefficient of the linear model; determining whether the slope is within a set slope range; if yes, determining whether the determining coefficient is smaller than a set determining coefficient value; if no, determining that there is a short circuit danger in the electrodes of the anode-cathode pair, and in other cases, determining that there is no short circuit danger in the electrodes.
