Wavelet-based efficient simulation of electromagnetic transients in a lightning protection system
2003
In this paper, a wavelet-based efficient simulation of electromagnetic transients in a lightning protection systems (LPS) is presented. The analysis of electromagnetic transients is carried out by employing the thin-wire electric field integral equation in frequency domain. In order to easily handle the boundary conditions of the integral equation, semiorthogonal compactly supported spline wavelets, constructed for the bounded interval [0,1], have been taken into account in expanding the unknown longitudinal currents. The integral equation is then solved by means of the Galerkin method. As a preprocessing stage, a discrete wavelet transform is used in order to efficiently compress the Fouri…
A Mesh-free Particle Method for Transient Full-wave Simulation
2007
A mesh-free particle method is presented for electromagnetic (EM) transient simulation. The basic idea is to obtain numerical solutions for the partial differential equations describing the EM problem in time domain, by using a set of particles, considered as spatial interpolation points of the field variables, arbitrarily placed in the problem domain and by avoiding the use of a regular mesh. Irregular problems geometry with diffused non-homogeneous media can be modeled only with an initial set of arbitrarily distributed particles. The time dependence is accounted for with an explicit finite difference scheme. Moreover the particle discretization can be improved during the process time ste…
A Boundary/Interior Element Discretization Method for the Analysis of Two- and Three-Dimensional Elastic-Plastic Structures
1992
A coupled boundary/interior element method is presented for the analysis of elastic-plastic structures with material models endowed of dual internal variables. The domain field modelling is limited to the only plastic strains and strain-like internal variables, represented by their node values at a set of strain points in each interior element. The formulation, based on a Galerkin-type approach, is variationally consistent and leads to a fully symmetric-definite equation system. The backward difference method is adopted for the step-by-step integration procedure, and each step is addressed by an iterative predictor/corrector solution scheme. The analysis method is expected to be most approp…
Perimeter symmetrization of some dynamic and stationary equations involving the Monge-Ampère operator
2017
We apply the perimeter symmetrization to a two-dimensional pseudo-parabolic dynamic problem associated to the Monge-Ampere operator as well as to the second order elliptic problem which arises after an implicit time discretization of the dynamical equation. Curiously, the dynamical problem corresponds to a third order operator but becomes a singular second order parabolic equation (involving the 3-Laplacian operator) in the class of radially symmetric convex functions. Using symmetrization techniques some quantitative comparison estimates and several qualitative properties of solutions are given.
Symmetric BEM Formulations for Elastic-Damage Material Models
1997
BEM analysis for elastic-damage materials is addressed by “undamaged” fundamental solutions. In step-by-step analysis, the actual response is obtained by an iterative procedure in which the undamaged structure is subjected to the loads and to some fictitious strains (or relaxation stresses) simulating the damage effects. Through symmetric BEM, the solution to the typical iteration problem is shown to solve a boundary/domain stationarity principle, whereas the above iterative procedure can be incorporated in a predictor/corrector scheme aimed at the integration of the damage laws. Discretization by boundary and interior elements leads to a symmetric equation system.
Semantics for Managing Systems in Heterogeneous and Distributed Environment
2002
The problem of legacy systems collaboration is being solved. Particularly we look at the collaboration as workflow in a distributed and heterogeneous environment. Attention is paid to the description of semantics for workflow process definition languages. There are many solutions how semantics can be decomposed into logical fragments, but the problem of obtaining reusable components that are easy to compile into desired specific semantics still remains. We evolve the division of semantics by semantic aspects whose description is based on abstract data types (pre-built components) and connectors (meta-programs to produce the glue code) between them. This paper offers a way in which semantic …
Activation of TRPC6 calcium channels by diacylglycerol (DAG)-containing arachidonic acid: A comparative study with DAG-containing docosahexaenoic acid
2006
We synthesized a diacylglycerol (DAG)-containing arachidonic acid, i.e., 1-stearoyl-2-arachidonyl-sn-glycerol (SAG), and studied its implication in the modulation of canonical transient receptor potential sub-type 6 (TRPC6) channels in stably-transfected HEK-293 cells. SAG induced the influx of Ca(2+), and also of other bivalent cations like Ba(2+) and Sr(2+), in these cells. SAG-evoked Ca(2+) influx was not due to its metabolites as inhibitors of DAG-lipase (RHC80267) and DAG-kinase (R50922) failed to inhibit the response of the same. To emphasise that SAG exerts its action via its DAG configuration, but not due to the presence of stearic acid at sn-1 position, we synthesized 1-palmitoyl-2…
Optimal Shape Design in Contact Problems
1989
From the mathematical point of view, optimal shape design (or optimum design, optimization of the domain, structural optimization) is a branch of the calculus of variations and especially of optimal control where study is devoted to the problem of finding the optimal shape for an object. In an optimal shape design process the objective is to optimize certain criteria involving the solution of a partial differential equation with respect to its domain of definition, [2, 3, 5].
Localization and separation of solutions for Fredholm integral equations
2020
[EN] In this paper, we establish a qualitative study of nonlinear Fredholm integral equations, where we will carry out a study on the localization and separation of solutions. Moreover, we consider an efficient algorithm to approximate a solution. To do this, we study the semilocal convergence of an efficient third order iterative scheme for solving nonlinear Fredholm integral equations under mild conditions. The novelty of our work lies in the fact that this study involves first order Frechet derivative and mild conditions. A numerical example involving nonlinear Fredholm integral equations, is solved to show the domains of existence and uniqueness of solutions. The applicability of the it…
Electrically Driven Magnetic Domain Wall Rotation in Multiferroic Heterostructures to Manipulate Suspended On-Chip Magnetic Particles
2015
In this work, we experimentally demonstrate deterministic electrically driven, strain-mediated domain wall (DW) rotation in ferromagnetic Ni rings fabricated on piezoelectric [Pb(Mg1/3Nb2/3)O3]0.66-[PbTiO3]0.34 (PMN-PT) substrates. While simultaneously imaging the Ni rings with X-ray magnetic circular dichroism photoemission electron microscopy, an electric field is applied across the PMN-PT substrate that induces strain in the ring structures, driving DW rotation around the ring toward the dominant PMN-PT strain axis by the inverse magnetostriction effect. The DW rotation we observe is analytically predicted using a fully coupled micromagnetic/elastodynamic multiphysics simulation, which v…
