A multiharmonic frequency domain analysis combined with a Craig-Bampton component mode synthesis is presented to compute the dry friction damped forced response of blades. The accuracy of the analysis is established, for a cantilever beam with a dry friction damper attached, by comparison with experimental results and time domain analysis. The method has then been applied to a model fan blade damped by a blade to ground damper.

Three-phase wye–delta LLC topology is suitable for voltage step down and high output current, and has been used in the industry for some time, e.g., for server power and EV charger. However, no comprehensive circuit analysis has been performed for three-phase wye–delta LLC. This paper provides complete analysis methods for three-phase wye–delta LLC. The analysis methods include circuit operation, time domain analysis, frequency domain analysis, and state–plane analysis. Circuit operation helps determine the circuit composition and operation sequence. Time domain analysis helps understand the detail operation, equivalent circuit model, and circuit equation. Frequency domain analysis helps obtain the curve of the transfer function and assists in circuit design. State–plane analysis is used for optimal trajectory control (OTC). These analyses not only can calculate the voltage/current stress, but can also help design three-phase wye-delta connected LLC and provide the OTC control reference. In addition, this paper uses PSIM simulation to verify the correctness of analysis. At the end, a 5-kW three-phase wye–delta LLC prototype is realized. The specification of the prototype is a DC input voltage of 380 V and output voltage/current of 48 V/105 A. The peak efficiency is 96.57%.

The convergence of learning control is traditionally analyzed in the time domain. This is because a finite planning horizon is often assumed and the analysis in time domain can be extended to time-varying and nonlinear systems. For linear time-invariant (LTI) systems with infinite planning horizon, however, we show that simple frequency domain techniques can be used to quickly derive several interesting results not amenable to time-domain analysis, such as predicting the rate of convergence or the design of optimum learning control law. We explain a paradox arising from applying the finite time convergence criterion to the infinite time learning control problem, and propose the use of current error feedback for controlling possibly unstable systems.

The main objective of this thesis is to demonstrate the benefits of the analysis of Power Spectrum Density (PSD) to observe the change of the electric field at intermediate negative lightning cloud to ground (CG) and terminology-intermediate breakdown-leader (BIL) before turning the struck first. Analysis was done on data 74 occurrence of lightning in the city of Padang, with terminology BIL. Time domain analysis time – frequency of use applications Short Time Fourier Trasnform (STFT), then the results of the analysis time domain – frequency domain analysis compared with the time. The basis of the use of the STFT is the calculation of Spektogram.  Time domain analysis of results time – frequency domain analysis against the difference obtained by time, where for data with sampling rate 1 MS/s (low resolution) in the domain of time, does not happen much changes compared data with sampling rate 25 MS/s (high resolution), high resolution spectrum due to clearer spectrum amplitude frequency. Different the results of the calculation phase BIL with time domain data will look on the lightning with a time limit of occurrence of short or Intermediate phase on the value of the voltage E smaller, because it forms the lower wave recording-amplitudo, so can be seen clearly the difference phases of BIL is happening. Keyword: Preliminary Breakdown, Intermediate Duration, phase based on Power Spectrum Density BIL.

Abstract The extended lift operation to deliver the Wellbay module (M5) combined with the Flare Tower (M8) from the Miller Platform in the North Sea to the shore using the Semi-Submersible Crane Vessel S7000 was restricted by the clearances between M5/M8 and the vessel crane booms. A method to calculate the clearances of the M5/M8 normal to the vessel crane booms has been developed and used in a frequency-domain response analysis to define operability limits. Investigations based on a series of scale model tests in regular waves and irregular short-crested waves including motion decay tests in calm water, conducted by the Maritime Research Institute (MARIN) in the Netherlands, were also made to further evaluate the behaviour of the suspended M5/M8 on S7000’s main hooks during transit. The time series of decay motions of the suspended M5/M8 obtained from the decay motion tests and a time domain analysis are compared and used to derive rigging damping. The numerical results of the frequency-domain analysis are validated with the experimental data for response amplitude operators (RAOs) found in regular waves and pink noise waves, significant and 3 hour most probable maximum/minimum (MPM) responses of interest in irregular waves.

The research and detection of heart disease depends on the analysis of the characteristic of electrocardio signal. Current analysis methods mainly include: (1) time domain analysis is a common used approach. With experience learned by observation and calculation, researchers examine errors and interferences to calculate means and variances directly within time domain. Analysis quality of this method demands higher request for researchers’ experience and skill although it’s a direct and significant result. (2) Frequency domain analysis, such as spectrum estimation, is largely applied to electrocardio signal researches and clinical applications. The analysis reflects abundant electrocardio activities, but failed to show details of the characteristics due to lack of time information. (3) time-frequency domain analysis describes energy density under different time and frequency of electrocardio signal at one time. It clarifies the relationship of signal frequency’s changing along with time such as wavelet transform method. (4) Nonlinear analysis is generally applied to biomedicine signal research in recent years. Correlation dimension, kolmogorov entropy, lyapunov component are major research methods to estimate some nonlinear dynamic parameters to represent the characteristic of electrocardio signal.

The Horn Mountain Spar is located in 1,654 m of water about 135 km from Venice, Louisiana in the Gulf of Mexico. The facility was instrumented extensively to measure key spar and riser response parameters (Edwards et. al. 2003). Halkyard et. al. (2004) and Tahar et. al. (2005) have compared measured spar responses such as motion and mooring line tensions with numerical predictions. This paper extends the work done on comparison of the full scale data during hurricane Isidore. All previous numerical simulations were based on a time domain analysis procedure. One concern related to this method is that it is computationally intensive and time consuming. In the initial stages of a project, a frequency domain solution may be an effective tool compared with a fully coupled time domain analysis. The present paper compares results of time domain and frequency domain simulations with field measurements. Particular attention has been placed on the importance of the phase relationship between motion and excitation force. In the time domain analysis, nonlinear drag forces are applied at the instantaneous position. Whereas in the frequency domain analysis, nonlinear drag forces are stochastically linearized and solutions are obtained by an iterative procedure. The time domain analysis has better agreement with the field data compared to the frequency domain. Overall, however, the frequency domain method is still promising for a quick and approximate estimation of relevant statistics. With advantages in terms of CPU time, the frequency domain method can be recommended as a tool in pre-front end engineering design or in a phase where an iterative nature of design of an offshore structure takes place.

For the design of FPSOs the vertical bending moment is a key parameter to ensure safe operation. If analyzed at water line level, however, the unknown influence of longitudinal forces may distort the results. Hence, a segmented FPSO model with midship force transducers at two levels is investigated in various deterministic wave sequences to identify the vertical bending moment and its associated neutral axis as well as the superimposing longitudinal forces. It is shown that the neutral axis is far below the water line level, with the consequence, that extreme cyclic loads at deck level would be expected. However, as the associated longitudinal forces — even if significant — generate a counteracting moment, this effect is largely compensated. Both, frequency- and time-domain results are presented. With frequency-domain analysis the profound data for the standard assessment of structures, concerning seakeeping behaviour, operational limitations and fatigue are obtained. In addition, time-domain analysis in real rogue waves gives indispensable data on extremes, i.e. motions and structural forces.
