Many steeply dipping massive sulfide ore bodies have a dike‐like shape, and this has led to wide acceptance of the vertical half‐plane model in the interpretation of electromagnetic data. This model assumes that the conductor is thin, but the restriction has not been considered critical and in practice has frequently been disregarded. Conductance and conductor depth estimates based on the results of towed‐bird AEM surveys have been observed to be lower and less accurate than those obtained from helicopter EM and ground EM measurements. In order to explain the low reliability of the towed‐bird estimates, AEM responses over 17 Canadian ore bodies were analyzed. In the study, field results obtained by the time‐domain Input system and two dual‐frequency quadrature systems were interpreted. Error in conductance and depth estimates results from the frequency‐dependent, diffusive behavior of thick geologic conductors. This dependence makes invalid the basic assumption made in the interpretation of dual‐frequency quadrature EM data, that of the equivalence of response parameters at two frequencies. The estimated conductance and depth are too small when applying the current interpretation procedure based on amplitude ratios at two high and widely separated frequencies. The error is smaller in the case of Input time‐domain measurements, because the delay times are relatively long and the channels narrowly spaced. The vertical half‐plane model has been found to hold for ore bodies less than 10 m wide. In the case of wide mineralized zones, which are more important economically, the vertical half‐plane model could be successfully applied only at long delay times. Applying the vertical half‐plane nomogram at short delay times, the conductance and depth were underestimated, and better values could only be achieved by fitting the field data to a horizontal ribbon model. The consistently low conductance values interpreted from towed‐bird measurements for wide conductive zones have probably resulted in not selecting many potential massive sulfide targets for ground followup.

This paper is concerned with the time‐domain electromagnetic prospecting of massive sulfide ore bodies which are surrounded by conductive host rocks. The electromagnetic transient response of a permeable and conducting sphere embedded in a finitely conducting infinite space is derived. The source is a magnetic dipole of arbitrary orientation which is located outside the sphere. The contributions from the displacement currents have been neglected. The solution thus obtained is compared with the known solution under “quasi‐static” approximation in which the displacement current in the sphere and both the conduction and the displacement currents in the outer medium are neglected. From the numerical results presented, it is clear that the validity of the quasi‐static approximation in the time domain, if the outer host rock is conductive, must be carefully investigated. If the finite outer conductivity is taken into account, magnetic modes are modified and electric modes become important. Five response functions, each a function of five parameters, are required to describe the secondary magnetic field.

Тhe advantage of combine processing of frequency domain and time domain data provided by the EQUATOR system is discussed. The heliborne complex has a towed transmitter, and, raised above it on the same cable a towed receiver. The excitation signal contains both pulsed and harmonic components. In fact, there are two independent transmitters operate in the system: one of them is a normal pulsed domain transmitter, with a half-sinusoidal pulse and a small "cut" on the falling edge, and the other one is a classical frequency domain transmitter at several specially selected frequencies. The received signal is first processed to a direct Fourier transform with high Q-factor detection at all significant frequencies. After that, in the spectral region, operations of converting the spectra of two sounding signals to a single spectrum of an ideal transmitter are performed. Than we do an inverse Fourier transform and return to the time domain. The detection of spectral components is done at a frequency band of several Hz, the receiver has the ability to perfectly suppress all sorts of extra-band noise. The detection bandwidth is several dozen times less the frequency interval between the harmonics, it turns out thatto achieve the same measurement quality of ground response without using out-of-band suppression you need several dozen times higher moment of airborne transmitting system. The data obtained from the model of a homogeneous half-space, a two-layered model, and a model of a horizontally layered medium is considered. A time-domain data makes it easier to detect a conductor in a relative insulator at greater depths. The data in the frequency domain gives more detailed information about subsurface. These conclusions are illustrated by the example of processing the survey data of the Republic of Rwanda in 2017. The simultaneous inversion of data in frequency domain and time domain can significantly improve the quality of interpretation.

Context. Reliable, directly measured optical properties of astrophysical ice analogues in the infrared and terahertz (THz) range are missing from the literature. These parameters are of great importance to model the dust continuum radiative transfer in dense and cold regions, where thick ice mantles are present, and are necessary for the interpretation of future observations planned in the far-infrared region. Aims. Coherent THz radiation allows for direct measurement of the complex dielectric function (refractive index) of astrophysically relevant ice species in the THz range. Methods. We recorded the time-domain waveforms and the frequency-domain spectra of reference samples of CO ice, deposited at a temperature of 28.5 K and annealed to 33 K at different thicknesses. We developed a new algorithm to reconstruct the real and imaginary parts of the refractive index from the time-domain THz data. Results. The complex refractive index in the wavelength range 1 mm–150 μm (0.3–2.0 THz) was determined for the studied ice samples, and this index was compared with available data found in the literature. Conclusions. The developed algorithm of reconstructing the real and imaginary parts of the refractive index from the time-domain THz data enables us, for the first time, to determine the optical properties of astrophysical ice analogues without using the Kramers–Kronig relations. The obtained data provide a benchmark to interpret the observational data from current ground-based facilities as well as future space telescope missions, and we used these data to estimate the opacities of the dust grains in presence of CO ice mantles.

Wayside acoustic defective bearing detector (ADBD) system is a potential technique in ensuring the safety of traveling vehicles. However, Doppler distortion and multiple moving sources aliasing in the acquired acoustic signals decrease the accuracy of defective bearing fault diagnosis. Currently, the method of constructing time-frequency (TF) masks for source separation was limited by an empirical threshold setting. To overcome this limitation, this study proposed a dynamic Doppler multisource separation model and constructed a time domain-separating matrix (TDSM) to realize multiple moving sources separation in the time domain. The TDSM was designed with two steps of (1) constructing separating curves and time domain remapping matrix (TDRM) and (2) remapping each element of separating curves to its corresponding time according to the TDRM. Both TDSM and TDRM were driven by geometrical and motion parameters, which would be estimated by Doppler feature matching pursuit (DFMP) algorithm. After gaining the source components from the observed signals, correlation operation was carried out to estimate source signals. Moreover, fault diagnosis could be carried out by envelope spectrum analysis. Compared with the method of constructing TF masks, the proposed strategy could avoid setting thresholds empirically. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed technique was validated by simulation and experimental cases. Results indicated the potential of this method for improving the performance of the ADBD system.

The article compares the results of experimental and modelling research of switched reluctance motor at two different operational states: one proper and one with mechanical fault, i.e., with dynamic eccentricity of the rotor. The experiments were carried out on a test bench and then the results were compared with mathematical modelling of quasi-static and dynamic analysis of 2D geometry model. Finally, it was examined how the operation with dynamic eccentricity fault of the motor affected its main physical parameter—the phase current. The analysis was presented in the frequency domain using the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT); however, individual current waveforms in the time domain are also shown for comparison. Applying results of the research could increase reliability of the maintenance of SRM and enhance its application in vehicles for special purposes as well as its military and industrial applications.

The numerical procedures for dynamic analysis of mooring lines in the time domain and frequency domain were developed in this work. The lumped mass method was used to model the mooring lines. In the time domain dynamic analysis, the modified Euler method was used to solve the motion equation of mooring lines. The dynamic analyses of mooring lines under horizontal, vertical, and combined harmonic excitations were carried out. The cases of single-component and multicomponent mooring lines under these excitations were studied, respectively. The case considering the seabed contact was also included. The program was validated by comparing with the results from commercial software, Orcaflex. For the frequency domain dynamic analysis, an improved frame invariant stochastic linearization method was applied to the nonlinear hydrodynamic drag term. The cases of single-component and multicomponent mooring lines were studied. The comparison of results shows that frequency domain results agree well with nonlinear time domain results.
