Interval variables are used to quantitatively describe the uncertain parameters with limited information. Based on different Taylor and Neumann series, two kinds of parameter perturbation methods are presented to approximately yield the ranges of the uncertain temperature field. By comparing the results with traditional Monte Carlo simulation, a numerical example is given to demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed method for solving steady-state heat conduction problem with uncertain-but-bounded parameters.展开更多

New stability theory applicable to interval discrete schemes is developed. Interval ranges of the uncertain temperature field can be approximately yielded by two kinds of parameter perturbation methods. Different order Neumann series are adopted to approximate the interval matrix inverse. By comparing the results with traditional Monte Carlo simulation, a numerical example is given to demonstrate the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed model and methods.展开更多

Before then the specific absorption rate (SAR) distribution for the transvaginal probe have been measured in a phantom. The variations of the parameters have been investigated, too, for optimization. At last, the results of simulation are compared to that measured in the phantom and some instructive conclusions are presented for critical application.展开更多
