SUMMARY Spectral information obtained from induced polarization (IP) measurements can be used in a variety of applications and is often gathered in frequency domain (FD) at the laboratory scale. In contrast, field IP measurements are mostly done in time domain (TD). Theoretically, the spectral content from both domains should be similar. In practice, they are often different, mainly due to instrumental restrictions as well as the limited time and frequency range of measurements. Therefore, a possibility of transition between both domains, in particular for the comparison of laboratory FD IP data and field TD IP results, would be very favourable. To compare both domains, we conducted laboratory IP experiments in both TD and FD. We started with three numerical models and measurements at a test circuit, followed by several investigations for different wood and sandstone samples. Our results demonstrate that the differential polarizability (DP), which is calculated from the TD decay curves, can be compared very well with the phase of the complex electrical resistivity. Thus, DP can be used for a first visual comparison of FD and TD data, which also enables a fast discrimination between different samples. Furthermore, to compare both domains qualitatively, we calculated the relaxation time distribution (RTD) for all data. The results are mostly in agreement between both domains, however, depending on the TD data quality. It is striking that the DP and RTD results are in better agreement for higher data quality in TD. Nevertheless, we demonstrate that IP laboratory measurements can be carried out in both TD and FD with almost equivalent results. The RTD enables a good comparability of FD IP laboratory data with TD IP field data.

A method for the extraction of Cole-Cole spectral parameters from time‐domain induced polarization data is demonstrated. The instrumentation required to effect the measurement and analysis is described. The Cole-Cole impedance model is shown to work equally well in the time domain as in the frequency domain. Field trials show the time‐domain method to generate spectral parameters consistent with those generated by frequency‐domain surveys. This is shown to be possible without significant alteration to field procedures. Cole-Cole time constants of up to 100 s are shown to be resolvable given a transmitted current of a 2 s pulse‐time. The process proves to have added usefulness as the Cole-Cole forward solution proves an excellent basis for quantifying noise in the measured decay.

Abstract. Smart Grid components often are subject to considerable conducted current disturbances in the frequency range 2–150 kHz and, as a consequence, it is necessary to provide reliable immunity test methods. The relevant basic standard IEC 61000-4-19 that is currently under discussion focusses on frequency domain test methods. It is remarked in this contribution that in the context of frequency domain testing the chosen frequency spacing is related to the resonance response of the system under test which, in turn, is characterized in terms of resonance frequencies and quality factors. These notions apply well to physical system but it is pointed out by the example of an actual smart meter immunity test that smart grid components may exhibit susceptibilities that do not necessarily follow a resonance pattern and, additionally, can be narrowband. As a consequence it is suggested to supplement the present frequency domain test methods by time domain tests which utilize damped sinusoidal excitations with corresponding spectra that properly cover the frequency range 2–150 kHz, as exemplified by the military standard MIL-STD-461.

Mocean Energy has designed a 100-kW hinged-raft wave energy converter (WEC), the M100, which has a novel geometry that reduces the cost of energy by improving the ratios of power per size and power per torque. The performance of the M100 is shown through the outputs of frequency-domain and time-domain numerical models, which are compared with those from 1/20th scale wave-tank testing. Results show that for the undamped, frequency-domain model, there are resonant peaks in the response at 6.6 and 9.6 s, corresponding to wavelengths that are 1.9 and 3.7 times longer than the machine. With the inclusion of power-take-off and viscous damping, the power response as a function of frequency shows a broad bandwidth and a hinge flex amplitude of 12-20 degrees per meter of wave amplitude. Comparison between the time-domain model and physical data in a variety of sea states, up to a significant wave height of 4.5 m, show agreements within 10% for average power absorption, which is notable because only simple, nonlinear, numerical models were used. The M100 geometry results in a broad-banded, large amplitude response due to its asymmetric shape, which induces coupling between modes of motion.

The principle and application of ultrafast optical Kerr effect (OKE) spectroscopy have been reviewed. This spectroscopy is shown to be very useful to investigate low frequency modes in disordered materials and the obtained data are directly comparable with frequency-domain light scattering spectroscopy. Experimental study to show the consistency between the time- and frequency-domain spectroscopy has been performed for liquid nitrobenzene and the excellent agreement is attained over three orders of magnitude in frequency range. It is also shown that the result obtained by the OKE measurement is consistent with that obtained by four wave mixing spectroscopy. Combination of these spectroscopic techniques is particularly suited for the investigation of low frequency modes because a wide frequency range is covered with great accuracy. Several remarks concerning the OKE spectroscopy are presented such as the breakdown of Debye relaxation model and various interference effects which may distort the time-domain data.

We present an iterative algorithm formulated in the space-frequency domain to simulate the propagation of waves in a bounded poro-viscoelastic rock saturated by a two-phase fluid. The Biot-type model takes into account capillary forces and viscous and mass coupling coefficients between the fluid phases under variable saturation and pore fluid pressure conditions. The model predicts the existence of three compressional waves or Type-I, Type-II and Type-III waves and one shear or S-wave. The Type-III mode is a new mode not present in the classical Biot theory for single-phase fluids. Our differential and numerical models are stated in the space-frequency domain instead of the classical integrodifferential formulation in the space-time domain. For each temporal frequency, this formulation leads to a Helmholtz-type boundary value problem which is then solved independently of the other frequency problems, and the time-domain solution is obtained by an approximate inverse Fourier transform. The numerical procedure, which is first-order correct in the spatial discretization, is an iterative nonoverlapping domain decomposition method that employs an absorbing boundary condition in order to minimize spurious reflections from the artificial boundaries. The numerical experiments showing the propagation of waves in a sample of Nivelsteiner sandstone indicate that under certain conditions the Type-III wave can be observed at ultrasonic frequencies.
