Abstract

This study offers a comprehensive overview of a range of mathematical methods designed to address uncertainties in engineering calculations and assesses their suitability. The focus is on fuzzy set theory, which has proven to be particularly effective and offers a robust solution package for modelling and analyzing uncertainties. Additionally, a detailed model for analyzing the dynamic behavior of the surface temperature of insulating materials under high-voltage arcs is presented, systematically incorporating uncertainties and imprecision. The model is divided into three sub-models: a current-voltage model, a three-cylinder model, and a temperature-heat model. Through Monte Carlo simulations and correlation analyses, the key influencing parameters on surface temperature were identified, with material and heat transfer properties being recognized as particularly significant. The model was validated through cooling experiments by observing the cooldown process after heating, which showed a high degree of agreement with the simulation results. The application of fuzzy set theory for modelling uncertain parameters enabled precise consideration of uncertainties, making the model a reliable basis for predicting surface temperature under various test conditions and for better understanding the behavior of insulating materials under low current high-voltage arcs (DC).
