Abstract

Efforts to predict damage induced in metallic skins by the continuing lightning currents, characteristic of current component C, have been shown in the past; however, simultaneous occurrence of the multidisciplinary physical phenomena obscures understanding and makes it difficult to accurately relate the electrical input power to the resulting damage. Therefore, it remains a practical necessity to demonstrate an ability to predict consequences of the arc attachment in metal. As a preliminary part of a broader study, the present work concentrates on the experimentation and analysis of the fundamental processes governing damage formation in aluminum sheets caused by the direct-current arcs at various levels of current amplitude and charge transfer.
