Theoretical and experimental study on some aspects of resistivity measurement of conductive media using both the four and the two-electrode methods

Abstract

The focus of this thesis is the theoretical and experimental study on some aspects of resistivity measurement of conductive media using both the four and the two-electrode methods. Theoretical derived novel geometric factors and new modelling techniques for biomedical andpower system grounding applications were proposed and experimentally validated. The study of the resistivity measurement of biological tissue is of fundamental interest in the study and learning of the bioelectric phenomena. In addition, knowledge of the soil resistivity and the soil structure are of significant interest and importance in the design and analysis of an efficient grounding system.
