We propose a method to evaluate the Total Harmonic Distortion generated by a cantilever-based PZT loudspeaker inside an IEC 60318-4 coupler. The model is validated using experimental data of a commercial loudspeaker. Using the time domain equations of the equivalent electrical circuit of the loudspeaker inside the coupler and a state space formulation, the acoustic pressure response is calculated and compared to the measurement of the manufacturer. Next, the stiffness, transduction and capacitance nonlinear functions are evaluated with a Double-Beam Laser Interferometer (DBLI) and a nanoindenter on test devices and on the commercial loudspeaker. By introducing the nonlinear functions into the model as amplitude-dependent parameters, the THD generated by the loudspeaker is calculated and compared to the value provided by the manufacturer. The good agreement between the measurement and the simulation could allow for a rather quick simulation of the performance of similarly designed loudspeakers at the early stage of the design, by only estimating the static linearity of the main nonlinearity sources.

We develop time‐domain state‐space models for lossless layered media which are described by the wave equation and boundary conditions. We develop state‐space models for two cases: (1) source and sensor at the surface, and (2) source and sensor in the first layer. Our models are for nonequal one‐way traveltimes; hence, they are more general than most existing models of layered media which are usually for layers of equal one‐way traveltimes. A notable exception to this is the work of Wuenschel (1960); however, most of the useful results even in his paper are developed only for the uniform traveltime case. Our state‐space model treat all of the equations that describe a layered‐media system together in the time domain. Earlier approaches (e.g., Wuenschel, 1960; Robinson, 1968) recursively connect adjacent layers by means of frequency‐domain relationships. We refer to our state equations as “causal functional equations.” They actually represent a new class of equations. Why are we interested in a different class of models for what appears to be a well‐studied system? As is well known, there is a vast literature associated with systems which are described by time‐domain state‐space models. Most recent results in estimation and identification theories, for example, require a state‐space model. These time‐domain techniques have proven very beneficial outside of the geophysics field and we feel should also be beneficial in the geophysics field. In fact, our ultimate objective is to apply those theories to the layered‐media problem; but, to do so, of course, requires state‐space models—hence, this paper.

A hydraulic attenuator has been used in hydraulic active suspension systems of automotive vehicles to reduce high amplitude ripple pressure of a pump. The hydraulic attenuator considered in this study is so highly non-linear and of high order that the analysis in the time domain has been performed infrequently, although the frequency response analysis with the transfer matrix method was applicable. In this paper, a state space representation of the dynamics for a hydraulic attenuator is presented, utilizing the electrical analogy. The results of the experiment are compared with those of the simulation to validate the state space model proposed. The comparison reveals that the state space model proposed is practically applicable for estimating the dynamic responses of the hydraulic attenuator in the time domain.

Several methods have been proposed in the literature to find a state-space model for the wave-radiation forces. In this paper, we compared four methods, two in the frequency domain and two in the time domain. The frequency-response function and the impulse response of the resulting state-space models were compared against those derived from the numerical code WAMIT. A new state-space module was implemented within FAST, an offshore wind turbine computer-aided engineering tool, and we compared the results against the previously implemented numerical convolution method. The results agreed between the two methods, with a significant reduction in required computational time when using the new state-space module.

Photovoltaic (PV) power systems are increasingly being used as renewable power generation sources. Quasi-Z-source inverters (qZSI) are a recent, high-potential technology that can be used to integrate PV power systems into AC networks. Simultaneously, concerns regarding the stability of PV power systems are increasing. Converters reduce the damping of grid-connected converter systems, leading to instability. Several studies have analyzed the stability and dynamics of qZSI, although the characterization of qZSI-PV system dynamics in order to study transient interactions and stability has not yet been properly completed. This paper contributes a small-signal, state-space-averaged model of qZSI-PV systems in order to study these issues. The model is also applied to investigate the stability of PV power systems by analyzing the influence of system parameters. Moreover, solutions to mitigate the instabilities are proposed and the stability is verified using PSCAD time domain simulations.

In this article, a novel approach for model-based sensor fault detection and estimation of gas turbine is presented. The proposed method includes driving a state-space model of gas turbine, designing a novel L1-norm Lyapunov-based observer, and a decision logic which is based on bank of observers. The novel observer is designed using multiple Lyapunov functions based on L1-norm, reducing the estimation noise while increasing the accuracy. The L1-norm observer is similar to sliding mode observer in switching time. The proposed observer also acts as a low-pass filter, subsequently reducing estimation chattering. Since a bank of observers is required in model-based sensor fault detection, a bank of L1-norm observers is designed in this article. Corresponding to the use of the bank of observers, a two-step fault detection decision logic is developed. Furthermore, the proposed state-space model is a hybrid data-driven model which is divided into two models for steady-state and transient conditions, according to the nature of the gas turbine. The model is developed by applying a subspace algorithm to the real field data of SGT-600 (an industrial gas turbine). The proposed model was validated by applying to two other similar gas turbines with different ambient and operational conditions. The results of the proposed approach implementation demonstrate precise gas turbine sensor fault detection and estimation.

Abstract The modeling of counter-current leaching plant (CCLP) in Koryo Extract Production is presented in this paper. Koryo medicine is a natural physic to be used for a diet and the medical care. The counter-current leaching method is mainly used for producing Koryo medicine. The purpose of the modeling in the previous works is to indicate the concentration distributions, and not to describe the model for the process control. In literature, there are no nearly the papers for modeling CCLP and especially not the presence of papers that have described the issue for extracting the effective components from the Koryo medicinal materials. First, this paper presents that CCLP can be shown like the equivalent process consisting of two tanks, where there is a shaking apparatus, respectively. It allows leachate to flow between two tanks. Then, this paper presents the principle model for CCLP and the state space model on based it. The accuracy of the model has been verified from experiments made at CCLP in the Koryo Extract Production at the Gang Gyi Koryo Manufacture Factory.
