Error Estimates and Automatic Adaptive Mesh Refinement for the Metal Forming FEM Analysis
1988
The Authors propose a new technique which enables a estimation of the error inherent with the FEM analysis of metal forming processes. The aim is to evaluate the zones where the error is higher in order to proceed to a refinement of the mesh in such zones, and to obtain a smaller value of the global error. Moreover, to simplify the analyst work in the progressive refinement of the mesh, it has been prepared a software able to read the drawing created by a CAD program and to generate, automatically, all the geometrical and topological data necessary to perform the analysis on Personal Computer. The automatic renumbering of the elements in the refined mesh has been performed with the aim to r…
An improved method for estimating the frequency correlation function
2012
For time-invariant frequency-selective channels, the transfer function is a superposition of waves having different propagation delays and path gains. In order to estimate the frequency correlation function (FCF) of such channels, the frequency averaging technique can be utilized. The obtained FCF can be expressed as a sum of auto-terms (ATs) and cross-terms (CTs). The ATs are caused by the autocorrelation of individual path components. The CTs are due to the cross-correlation of different path components. These CTs have no physical meaning and leads to an estimation error. We propose a new estimation method aiming to improve the estimation accuracy of the FCF of a band-limited transfer fun…
Maximum Power Point Tracker for Standalone PV System Using Neural Networks
2019
In this work, designing and implementation of a maximum power point tracker (MPPT) based on an artificial neural network is proposed. The output voltage of the selected photovoltaic array is controlled by a DC to DC boost converter in a way that the PV array generates the available possible maximum power correspond to the available solar irradiance and temperature. The neural network (NN) is capable of forecasting the required terminal voltage of the PV array in order to generate the possible maximum power. The pulse width modulation (PWM) signal, which drives the boost converter, is generated through a raspberry pi according to the forecasted terminal voltage. The terminal voltage of the P…
On the Characterization of Dynamic Properties of Random Processes by Spectral Parameters
2000
This paper deals with the general problem of directly relating the distribution of ranges of wide band random processes to the power spectral density (PSD) by means of closed-form expressions. Various attempts to relate the statistical distribution of ranges to the PSD by means of the irregularity factor or similar parameters have been done by several authors but, unfortunately, they have not been fully successful. In the present study, introducing the so-called analytic processes, the reasons for which these parameters are insufficient to an unambiguous determination of the range distribution and the fact that parameters regarding the time-derivative processes are needed have been explaine…
Microscope system with on axis programmable Fourier transform filtering
2017
Abstract We propose an on-axis microscope optical system to implement programmable optical Fourier transform image processing operations, taking advantage of phase and polarization modulation of a liquid crystal on silicon (LCOS) display. We use a Hamamatsu spatial light modulator (SLM), free of flickering, which therefore can be tuned to fully eliminate the zero order component of the encoded diffractive filter. This allows the realization of filtering operation on axis (as opposed to other systems in the literature that require operating off axis), therefore making use of the full space bandwidth provided by the SLM. The system is first demonstrated by implementing different optical proce…
Testing the H.264 error-resilience on wireless ad-hoc networks
2004
The purpose of this paper is to provide a framework to tune and evaluate the performance of the H.264 codec in 802.11b wireless ad-hoc networks. The codec's error-resilience features are measured under stress conditions typical to these networks, and the most critical parameters are presented. We present solutions concerning the random packet loss problem and show how to quickly recover from packet loss bursts.
Optimization of dual-core and microstructure fiber geometries for dispersion compensation and large mode area
2009
We investigate dual concentric core and microstructure fiber geometries for dispersion compensation. Dispersion values as large as -59 000 ps/(nm km) are achieved, over a broad wavelength range with full width at half maximum exceeding 100 nm. The trade-off between large dispersion and mode area is studied. Geometries with an effective mode area of 30 microm2 and dispersion -19 000 ps/(nm km) and 80 microm2 with -1600 ps/(nm km) are proposed.
Random walks and random numbers from supercontinuum generation
2012
International audience; We report a numerical study showing how the random intensity and phase fluctuations across the bandwidth of a broadband optical supercontinuum can be interpreted in terms of the random processes of random walks and L´evy flights. We also describe how the intensity fluctuations can be applied to physical random number generation. We conclude that the optical supercontinuum provides a highly versatile means of studying and generating a wide class of random processes at optical wavelengths.
New Multilevel Inverter Topology with Reduced Component Count
2019
This paper introduces a new topology of modular multilevel inverters, being suitable in medium and high voltage applications. As compared to the existing circuits, the proposed topology has advantages of high ‘levels/components’ ratio, increasing the output voltage levels without increasing the voltage stress across the used switches, structure simplicity, isolation features, and modularity. These merits allow it to fit well in high-reliability medium-power applications, which require fast troubleshooting and maintenance flexibility. Operating principles of the proposed scheme are detailed in low frequency and pulse width modulation. Simulation and experimental results validate the effectiv…
Real-time acquisition of wideband signals data using non-uniform sampling
2009
Wideband signal acquisition often faces a problem of bulk data recording. It is a critical factor in real-time systems. The paper discusses an approach that deals with this problem incorporating Digital Alias-free Signal Processing and Virtual Instrumentation technologies. Such combination is advantageous for real-time applications and useful in the development of measurement and software defined radio systems. Non-uniform sampling technique allows considerably decrease the data of wideband signals so, that they can be transferred in real-time to a typical PC through high-speed PCI Express communication interface. The experimental prototype system has been developed and obtained results are…
