Harmonic balance method with alternating frequency/time domain technique for nonlinear dynamical system with fractional exponential

Comparisons of the common methods for obtaining the periodic responses show that the harmonic balance method with alternating frequency/time （HB-AFT） do- main technique has some advantages in dealing with nonlinear problems of fractional exponential models. By the HB-AFT method, a rigid rotor supported by ball bearings with nonlinearity of Hertz contact and ball passage vibrations is considered. With the aid of the Floquet theory, the movement characteristics of interval stability are deeply studied. Besides, a simple strategy to determine the monodromy matrix is proposed for the stability analysis.

Time-and Frequency-Domain Analysis of Ice-Induced Displacement Responses Offshore Fixed Platforms

On the basis of ice- induced forced vibration model, ice- induced displacement responses of offshore fixed platforms are investigated in both time domain and frequency domain. The relationships of ice-induced displacement responses with ice breaking modes, ice acting directions and platform structures are analyzed and determined. The results lead to an important conclusion obtained for the first time that ice breaking frequency and the natural frequency of the first mode of the platform are the two main factors that dominate the degree of vibration. The present work provides a firm basis for both design and operation of fixed platforms against ice loading.

Comparison of delay compensation methods for real-time hybrid simulation using frequency-domain evaluation index

The delay compensation method plays an essential role in maintaining the stability and achieving accurate real-time hybrid simulation results. The effectiveness of various compensation methods in different test scenarios, however, needs to be quantitatively evaluated. In this study, four compensation methods （i.e., the polynomial extrapolation, the linear acceleration extrapolation, the inverse compensation and the adaptive inverse compensation） are selected and compared experimentally using a frequency evaluation index （FEI） method. The effectiveness of the FEI method is first verified through comparison with the discrete transfer fimction approach for compensation methods assuming constant delay. Incomparable advantage is further demonstrated for the FEI method when applied to adaptive compensation methods, where the discrete transfer function approach is difficult to implement. Both numerical simulation and laboratory tests with predefined displacements are conducted using sinusoidal signals and random signals as inputs. Findings from numerical simulation and experimental results demonstrate that the FEI method is an efficient and effective approach to compare the performance of different compensation methods, especially for those requiring adaptation of compensation parameters.

The results of numerical solution by using the novel method and the frequency-domain method are compared, and the limitations of frequency-domain method are discussed.

Analysis of Time and Frequency Domain of Auditory Brainstem Response in Normal Guinea Pigs

The auditory brainstem response (ABR) was measured for 90 cars of norml gui-nea pigs,from which the mean latency,amplitude and recognition of waves were obtain-ded.The waves were classified into six types,with wave Ⅲ as the main wave which ac-counted for 77.1% of all the waves.The frequency domain of each type was analysed bymeans of digital filtering and auto-regressive (AR)estimation.The main frequency com-position of ABR in the guinea pigs was restricted within 1600 Hz,in which there werethree peaks at AR spectrum,the mean value of the peaks being 107.33 Hz,566.67 Hzand 1076 Hz respectively.The AR spectrograms of all types waves were very similar toeach other.

A Krylov space based time domain method for wave propagation problems is introduced. The proposed method uses the Arnoldi algorithm to obtain broad-band frequency domain solutions. This method is especially advantageous in cases where slow convergence is observed when using traditional time domain methods. The efficiency of the method is examined in several test cases to show its fast convergence in such problems.

H_∞ fault estimation for a class of linear time-delay systems in finite frequency domain

This paper deals with the problem of H∞ fault estimation for linear time-delay systems in finite frequency domain.First a generalized coordinate change is applied to the original system such that in the new coordinates all the time-delay terms are injected by the system＇s input and output.Then an observer-based H∞ fault estimator with input and output injections is proposed for fault estimation with known frequency range.With the aid of Generalized Kalman-Yakubovich-Popov lemma,sufficient conditions on the existence of the H∞ fault estimator are derived and a solution to the observer gain matrices is obtained by solving a set of linear matrix inequalities.Finally,a numerical example is given to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Joint AVO inversion in the time and frequency domain with Bayesian interference

Amplitude variations with offset or incident angle （AVO/AVA） inversion are typically combined with statistical methods, such as Bayesian inference or deterministic inversion. We propose a joint elastic inversion method in the time and frequency domain based on Bayesian inversion theory to improve the resolution of the estimated P- and S-wave velocities and density. We initially construct the objective function using Bayesian inference by combining seismic data in the time and frequency domain. We use Cauchy and Gaussian probability distribution density functions to obtain the prior information for the model parameters and the likelihood function, respectively. We estimate the elastic parameters by solving the initial objective function with added model constraints to improve the inversion robustness. The results of the synthetic data suggest that the frequency spectra of the estimated parameters are wider than those obtained with conventional elastic inversion in the time domain. In addition, the proposed inversion approach offers stronger antinoising compared to the inversion approach in the frequency domain. Furthermore, results from synthetic examples with added Gaussian noise demonstrate the robustness of the proposed approach. From the real data, we infer that more model parameter details can be reproduced with the proposed joint elastic inversion.

Finite difference time domain method forward simulation of complex geoelectricity ground penetrating radar model

The ground penetrating radar(GPR) forward simulation all aims at the singular and regular models, such as sandwich model, round cavity, square cavity, and so on, which are comparably simple. But as to the forward of curl interface underground or “v” figure complex model, it is difficult to realize. So it is important to forward the complex geoelectricity model. This paper takes two Maxwell’s vorticity equations as departure point, makes use of the principles of Yee’s space grid model theory and the basic principle finite difference time domain method, and deduces a GPR forward system of equation of two dimensional spaces. The Mur super absorbed boundary condition is adopted to solve the super strong reflection on the interceptive boundary when there is the forward simulation. And a self-made program is used to process forward simulation to two typical geoelectricity model.

Time-Domain Analysis for 3-D Moored Systems

In the paper, a comprehensive numerical study on the moored system is performed in time domain. The moored system, which is composed of the floating body sub system and the mooring line sub system, is calculated as a whole system by coupling. A time domain method is applied to the analysis of the mooring line sub system, and at the same time, an indirect time domain method translated from frequency domain to time domain is developed to calculate the floating body sub system. In the end, an FPSO vessel is calculated as a numerical example by the present method. A comparison of the result of the model test and that of the numerical method indicates that the present method is exact and effective.

A modified time domain interpolation method for LS channel estimation in OFDM systems

A modified time domain interpolation method is proposed for orthogonal frequency division multiplexing(OFDM)systems to address the problem that time domain interpolation in the least square(LS)channel estimation method based on comb-type pilots cannot choose the pilot spacing flexibly.Firstly,the estimated channel frequency response(CFR)at pilot positions in the frequency domain is obtained by LS channel estimation based on comb-type pilots,and the estimated channel impulse response(CIR)in the time domain is obtained by linear interpolation and inverse fast Fourier transform(IFFT).Secondly,the error of the estimated CIR obtained by linear interpolation is analyzed by theoretical deduction,and a method for correcting it is proposed.Finally,an estimated CFR at all subcarrier positions in the frequency domain is obtained by performing zero padding in the time domain and fast Fourier transform(FFT)on the modified CIR.The simulation results suggest that the proposed method gives similar performance to time domain interpolation,yet it does not need to meet the condition of time domain interpolation that the number of subcarriers must be an integral multiple of pilot spacing to use it.The proposed method allows for flexible pilot spacing,reducing the number of pilots and the consumption of subcarriers used for channel estimation.

Analysis of OSA Syndrome from PPG Signal Using CART-PSO Classifier with Time Domain and Frequency Domain Features

Obstructive Sleep Apnea(OSA)is a respiratory syndrome that occurs due to insufficient airflow through the respiratory or respiratory arrest while sleeping and sometimes due to the reduced oxygen saturation.The aim of this paper is to analyze the respiratory signal of a person to detect the Normal Breathing Activity and the Sleep Apnea(SA)activity.In the proposed method,the time domain and frequency domain features of respiration signal obtained from the PPG device are extracted.These features are applied to the Classification and Regression Tree(CART)-Particle Swarm Optimization(PSO)classifier which classifies the signal into normal breathing signal and sleep apnea signal.The proposed method is validated to measure the performance metrics like sensitivity,specificity,accuracy and F1 score by applying time domain and frequency domain features separately.Additionally,the performance of the CART-PSO(CPSO)classification algorithm is evaluated through comparing its measures with existing classification algorithms.Concurrently,the effect of the PSO algorithm in the classifier is validated by varying the parameters of PSO.

The time-frequency domain electromagnetic(TFEM)sounding technique can directly detect oil and gas characteristics through anomalies in resistivity and polarizability.In recent years,it has made some breakthroughs in hydrocarbon detection.TFEM was applied to predict the petroliferous property of the Ili Basin.In accordance with the geological structure characteristics of the study area,a two-dimensional layered medium model was constructed and forward modeling was performed.We used the forward-modeling results to guide fi eld construction and ensure the quality of the fi eld data collection.We used the model inversion results to identify and distinguish the resolution of the geoelectric information and provide a reliable basis for data processing.On the basis of our results,key technologies such as 2D resistivity tomography imaging inversion and polarimetric constrained inversion were developed,and we obtained abundant geological and geophysical information.The characteristics of the TFEM anomalies of the hydrocarbon reservoirs in the Ili Basin were summarized through an analysis of the electrical logging data in the study area.Moreover,the oil-gas properties of the Permian and Triassic layers were predicted,and the next favorable exploration targets were optimized.

A Priority-aware Frequency Domain Polling MAC Protocol for OFDMA-based Networks in Cyber-physical Systems

Wireless networking in cyber-physical systems (CPSs) is characteristically different from traditional wireless systems due to the harsh radio frequency environment and applications that impose high real-time and reliability constraints. One of the fundamental considerations for enabling CPS networks is the medium access control protocol. To this end, this paper proposes a novel priority-aware frequency domain polling medium access control (MAC) protocol, which takes advantage of an orthogonal frequency-division multiple access (OFDMA) physical layer to achieve instantaneous priority-aware polling. Based on the polling result, the proposed work then optimizes the resource allocation of the OFDMA network to further improve the data reliability. Due to the non-polynomial-complete nature of the OFDMA resource allocation, we propose two heuristic rules, based on which an efficient solution algorithm to the OFDMA resource allocation problem is designed. Simulation results show that the reliability performance of CPS networks is significantly improved because of this work. © 2014 Chinese Association of Automation.

Underdetermined DOA estimation and blind separation of non-disjoint sources in time-frequency domain based on sparse representation method

This paper deals with the blind separation of nonstation-ary sources and direction-of-arrival （DOA） estimation in the under-determined case, when there are more sources than sensors. We assume the sources to be time-frequency （TF） disjoint to a certain extent. In particular, the number of sources presented at any TF neighborhood is strictly less than that of sensors. We can identify the real number of active sources and achieve separation in any TF neighborhood by the sparse representation method. Compared with the subspace-based algorithm under the same sparseness assumption, which suffers from the extra noise effect since it can-not estimate the true number of active sources, the proposed algorithm can estimate the number of active sources and their cor-responding TF values in any TF neighborhood simultaneously. An-other contribution of this paper is a new estimation procedure for the DOA of sources in the underdetermined case, which combines the TF sparseness of sources and the clustering technique. Sim-ulation results demonstrate the validity and high performance of the proposed algorithm in both blind source separation （BSS） and DOA estimation.

Frequency-time Domain Shielding Effectiveness of Materials and Their Strong Electromagnetic Field Test

To describe the shielding ability of materials accurately and comprehensively,the frequency-domain and time-domain shielding effectiveness(SE) of material is investigated.The relevance between them was analyzed based on the minimum phase method,and the time-domain SE can be derived from frequency-domain SE.The SE of an energy selective surface(ESS) made of a novel material is investigated,and the relationship between SE and radiation field intensity are analyzed.The results show that not only material,but also the intensity of radiation electric field shows influence on SE in its frequency; for some materials,the dependence of SE on radiation electric field intensity needs to be considered.Therefore,it is necessary to research on the SE of shielding material in high-intensity electromagnetic environment.

Time Domain Synchronous OFDM System for Optical Fiber Communications

A spectrum efficient OFDM scheme named Time Domain Synchronous-OFDM(TDS-OFDM)is introduced into coherent optical transmission system,in which the pseudo noise(PN)sequence is exploited as guard interval to realize frame synchronization,compensate the carrier frequency offset(CFO),and estimate and equalize channel simultaneously.Since there is no pilot signals or training symbols in TDS-OFDM,the proposed scheme can achieve higher spectral efficiency(SE)above 10%improvement comparing with CPOFDM.The proposed method is implemented and verified in a 28GBaud QPSK OFDM system and a 28GBaud 16QAM OFDM system.It is demonstrated that the proposed scheme shows high CFO estimation accuracy and synchronous accuracy.Under CFO and linewidth of laser source set as 100MHz and 100kHz respectively,BER of QPSK OFDM system is below 3.8e-3 at the optical signal-to-noise ratio(OSNR)of 13dB,and BER of 16QAM OFDM system is below 3.8e-3 at the OSNR of 20dB.

Linear and Nonlinear Time Domain Block Equalizers on MIMO Frequency Selective Channels

Single-Carrier (SC) transmission with the same bandwidth as Multi-Carrier (MC) transmission (such as OFDM) may have far shorter symbol duration and is considered to be more robust against time selective fading. In this paper, we proposed the novel equalization and signal separation schemes in time domain for short block length transmission, i.e., Block Linear Equalization (BLE) and Block Nonlinear Equalization (BNLE) on MIMO frequency selective fading channels. The proposed BLE uses the MMSE based inverse matrix in time domain and the BNLE utilizes the QRD-M (QR Decomposition with M algorithm) with appropriate receiver complexity. We compared the computational complexity among the conventional SC-FDE (Frequency Domain Equalization) scheme and the proposed equalizers. We also used the Low-Density Parity Check (LDPC) decoder concatenated to the proposed BLE and BNLE.
