In this paper, the problem of active sound cancellation in finite-length ducts is investigated. The closed-form solution of a one-dimensional wave equation is obtained as the plant model. The controllability, observability, and transmission zeros are discussed based on the transfer function model. For ducts with totally reflective boundaries, stabilization can be achieved by using a speaker (actuator) and a microphone (sensor). Cases of collocated and noncollocated sensors and actuators are presented. A repetitive control algorithm was developed to drive the actuator so that harmonic noises in a duct are attenuated. For a duct with partially reflective boundaries, the application of repetitive control prevents sound from leaking out of the duct at a chosen end. A simulation study demonstrating the effects of this feedback control scheme is also presented.

The paper proposed a original matching algorithm using the feature vectors of rigid points sets matrix and a online matching intersection testing algorithm using the bounding sphere. The relationship searching between points in each set is took place by the corresponding eigenvectors that is a closed form solution relatively. The affine transformed eigenvalue and eigenvector is also used instead of the affine transformed points sets for the non-rigid matching that do not need the complicated global goal function. The characteristics matching for the initial registration can give a well initial value for the surfaces align that improve the probability of global solution for the following-up ICP

The spectral analysis of strong earthquake ground motion needs detailed understanding of transfer function properties and source radiation along the wave propagation path. The main goal of this study is to evaluate the interaction of two semi-cylindrical canyons, which are subjected to the horizontally polarized shear-wave (SH-wave) and to find the transfer function properties of two canyons. In this study, the interaction of two semi-cylindrical canyons subjected to SH waves are considered and evaluated for a general angle of wave incidence. The method of Wave Function Expansion is derived, and the infinite series solution is obtained. Due to the complexity and convergence of infinite series including Bessel functions, the numerical results are limited. The convergence of the solution for the high frequencies requires the high order term. Moreover, the difficulties of this study come from convergence of the solution owing to interaction of two canyons having various dimensions and material properties. The closed-form solution of the problem shows that the surface topography can have prominent effects on incident waves when the wavelengths of incident motion are short compared to the radius of a canyon. The parameters, dimensions of the canyons, distance between two canyons, and the amplifications of the displacement amplitudes are obtained with respect to the incident angles of the waves and dimensionless frequency.

Time-variant inductors exist in many industrial applications, including sensors and actuators. In some applications, this characteristic can be deleterious, for example, resulting in inductive loss through eddy currents in motors designed for high efficiency operation. Therefore, it is important to investigate the electrical dynamics of systems with time-variant inductors. However, circuit analysis with time-variant inductors is nonlinear, resulting in difficulties in obtaining a closed form solution. Typical numerical algorithms used to solve the nonlinear differential equations are time consuming and require powerful processors. This investigation proposes a nonlinear method to analyze a system model consisting of the time-variant inductor with a constraint that the circuit is powered by DC sources and the derivative of the inductor is known. In this method, the Norton equivalent circuit with the time-variant inductor is realized first. Then, an iterative solution using a small signal theorem is employed to obtain an approximate closed form solution. As a case study, a variable inductor, with a time-variant part stimulated by a sinusoidal mechanical excitation, is analyzed using this approach. Compared to conventional nonlinear differential equation solvers, this proposed solution shows both improved computation efficiency and numerical robustness. The results demonstrate that the proposed analysis method can achieve high accuracy.

Abstract Vehicle interior noise is the result of numerous sources of excitation. One source involving tire pavement interaction is the tire air cavity resonance and the forcing it provides to the vehicle spindle: This paper applies fundamental principles combined with experimental verification to describe the tire cavity resonance. A closed form solution is developed to predict the resonance frequencies from geometric data. Tire test results are used to examine the accuracy of predictions of undeflected and deflected tire resonances. Errors in predicted and actual frequencies are shown to be less than 2%. The nature of the forcing this resonance as it applies to the vehicle spindle is also examined.
