This paper presents a new analytical and numerical method for modeling and synthesis of complex distributed parameter systems that are multiple continua combined with lumped parameter systems. In the analysis, the complex distributed parameter system is first divided into a number of subsystems; the distributed transfer functions of each subsystem are determined in exact and closed form by a state space technique. The complex distributed parameter system is then assembled by imposing displacement compatibility and force balance at the nodes where the subsystems are interconnected. With the distributed transfer functions and the transfer functions of the constraints and lumped parameter systems, exact, closed-form formulation is obtained for various dynamics and vibration problems. The method does not require a knowledge of system eigensolutions, and is valid for non-self-adjoint systems with inhomogeneous boundary conditions. In addition, the proposed method is convenient in computer coding and suitable for computerized symbolic manipulation.

Abstract This paper presents a new analytical and numerical method for modeling and synthesis of complex flexible systems (CFS) that are multiple continua combined with lumped parameter systems. In the analysis, the CFS is first divided into a number of subsystems; the distributed transfer functions of each subsystem are determined in exact and closed form by a state space technique. The CFS is then assembled by imposing displacement compatibility and force balance at the nodes where the subsystems are interconnected. With the distributed transfer functions and the transfer functions of the constraints and lumped parameter systems, exact, closed-form formulation is obtained for various dynamics and vibration problems. The method does not require a knowledge of system eigensolutions, and is valid for non-self-adjoint systems with inhomogeneous boundary conditions. In addition, the proposed method is convenient in computer coding, and suitable for computerized symbolic manipulation.

In this paper, a method to determine the reliability index of distributed parameter systems by using a method of approximation the multi-condition dependent probability by a one-condition dependent probability is proposed. Therefore, the problem of the reliability index of distributed parameter system is transformed into the defined case. To illustrate for the method, the reliability index of air tube is considered.

Pump cavitation surge is highly coupled phenomenon with unsteady cavitation inside a pump and system dynamics of the pipe flow surrounding the pump. The piping system flow dynamics can be calculated under two kinds of assumptions; lumped parameter system (LPS) and distributed parameter system (DPS). In the lumped parameter system, the equations of motion of water columns inside pipes are calculated upstream and downstream of the pump. In the distributed parameter system, wave propagations along the pipes are calculated. In this study a simple system that consists of an upstream tank, an upstream pipe, a pump with cavitation, a downstream pipe and a downstream tank is analyzed by using two methods. Cavitation inside the pump is featured in the lumped parameters of cavitation compliance and mass flow gain factor. In the lumped parameter system case, equations of motion are calculated numerically by Runge-Kutta methods. In the distributed parameter system case, wave propagations are calculated by Method of Characteristics. From the comparison of two method results, appropriate criterion for practical piping system calculation is discussed.

Results of transfer function analysis for a class of distributed parameter systems described by dissipative hyperbolic partial differential equations defined on a one-dimensional spatial domain are presented. For the case of two boundary inputs, the closed-form expressions for the individual elements of the 2×2 transfer function matrix are derived both in the exponential and in the hyperbolic form, based on the decoupled canonical representation of the system. Some important properties of the transfer functions considered are pointed out based on the existing results of semigroup theory. The influence of the location of the boundary inputs on the transfer function representation is demonstrated. The pole-zero as well as frequency response analyses are also performed. The discussion is illustrated with a practical example of a shell and tube heat exchanger operating in parallel- and countercurrent-flow modes.
