Journal of Applied Mechanics and Technical Physics Aims and scope

Abstract

Data are obtained on the lag time of the breakdown and the dielectric strength of a solid porous dielectric with a porosity of 0.4 (pressed lead azide) with different durations of a rectangular voltage pulse from 10−8 to 2 · 10−6 sec.
