Geometrical nonlinearity effect is considered. Detailed formulations and procedures are given for the first time. Several examples are analyzed and accurate results are obtained by the DQEM. Based on the results in this paper, one may conclude that the DQEM is a useful tool for obtaining solutions of structural elements. It can be seen that the shell shape may be theore tically controlled and snap through may occur when the applied voltage reaches a critical value even without mechanical load for certain geometric configurations.展开更多

In this paper, an identification method for the rotary travelling-wave type ultrasonic motor (RTWUSM) with dead-zone is proposed based on a modified Hammerstein model structure. The driving voltage contributing effect on the nonlinearities of the RTWUSM was transformed to the change of dynamic parameters against the driving voltage. The dead-zone of the RTWUSM is identified based upon the above transformation. Experiment results showed good agreement be- tween the output of the proposed model and actual measured output.展开更多

In order to simplify RVM classifier, parameters selection based on particle swarm optimization (PSO) and preprocessing technique based on the kurtosis and entropy of signals were used. Firstly, sinusoidal inputs with different frequencies were applied to the circuit under test (CUT). Then, the resulting frequency responses were sampled to generate features. The frequency response was sampled to compute its kurtosis and entropy, which can show the information capacity of signal. By analyzing the output signals, the proposed method can detect and identify faulty components in circuits. The results indicate that the fault classes can be classified correctly for at least 99% of the test data in example circuit. And the proposed method can diagnose hard and soft faults.展开更多

Basic idea is based on knowledge of harmonic spectrum of the sources and/or appliances, respectively. Obviously, one need to know voltage harmonic components of voltage sources （renewable with inverters,...）, and current harmonic components generated by non-linear appliances （rectifiers,...）. Method of investigation lies on decomposition of real electric circuit into n-harmonic separated equivalent schemes for each harmonic component. Then transient analysis will be done for each scheme separately using ＂impedance harmonic matrices＂. The important fact is that each equivalent scheme is now linearized and therefore easily calculated. Finally, the effects of each investigated schemes arc summed into resulting quantities of real non-linear electric circuit.展开更多

An basic introduction to reactive power theory has been given, together with the optimal capacitance selection theory.

The algorithms of optimal capacity selection were given, which connected in parallel to the circuit with inductive character will cause current root-mean-square value minimization. The measurement results after applying the reactive power minimization algorithm have shown improvement in compensation of strongly nonlinear receivers supplied with distorted signals.展开更多

The m...This paper proposes a parameter determination method of distribution voltage regulators load ratio control transformers （LRT） and step voltage regulators （SVR） considering the tap change and voltage profile. The method takes two procedures in order to simplify the optimization problem and to reduce calculation time. One is to simultaneously determine the control parameters of LRT and SVR minimizing voltage violations and voltage variations. The algorithm is based on particle swarm optimization （PSO）, which is one of non-linear optimization methods by using a concept of swarm intelligence. Another is to determine the dead-band width of LRT and SVR on the basis of bi-evaluation of tap change and voltage margin. The concept of a Pareto optimal solution is used for the decision of the best dead-band width. As the results of numerical simulations using distribution network model, the validity of the proposed method has been affirmed.展开更多

Firstly, c...The advantages of OPV （organic photovoltaic） are low cost, little pollution and flexible. But challenge for OPV manufacture still is lacking of accurately performance measurement due to capacitance issue. Firstly, characterization of OPV requires considering the slowly temporal response due to capacitance effect, and the relative I-V （current-voltage） curves are strongly dependent on the voltage sweep direction, even for the sweep time only in few seconds or less. Secondly, the IPCE （incident photon-to-electron conversion efficiency） also shows the slowly temporal response due to capacitance effect and is dependent on the wavelength of the incident light. Furthermore, the related features for measuring I-V curves are more sensitive with temperature due to non-linear characteristics issue, but current IPCE spectra of OPV are similar to that happened in conventional crystalline Si or amorphous silicon devices. In this work, we developed a RTOSM （real-time one-sweep method） applied both in I-V and IPCE to analysis different electronic transport materials, and result showed this new approach proposed a good way to slow down testing time and having better accuracy for OPV measurement by eliminating acceptance effect instantly.展开更多

Their crystal structures, optical transparency,chemical states and surface morphologies, along with the electrical properties, were dependent on Ga contents and annealing temperatures. The optimized GTO channel layer was applied in the high-k Al2O3 thin film transistor(TFT) with a low operation voltage of 2 V, a maximum field-effect mobility of 69 cm^2 V^-1 s^-1, a subthreshold swing(SS) of 76 mV dec^-1, a threshold voltage of 0.67 V and an on-off current ratio of 1.8×10^7. The solution-processed amorphousGTO-TFTs would promote the development of low-consumption, low-cost and high performance In-free TFT devices.展开更多

We assume that the potential of the equation includes a parameter A and can be negative in some domain. Moreover, the potential behaves like potential well when the parameter A is large. Using variational methods combining Nehari methods, we prove that the equation has a least energy solution which, as the parameter A becomes large, localized near the bottom of the potential well. Our result is an extension of the corresponding result for the SchrSdinger equation which involves critical growth but does not involve electromagnetic fields.展开更多
