To investigate the dynamic characteristics of liquid sloshing in partially-filled tanks, FLUENT simulation for liquid sloshing in cylinder tanks with the 40% liquid fill level and subject to lateral accelerations of 0.1 g-0.4 g were carried out. By the observation of transient sloshing force and the liquid free surface, it was found that the liquid sloshing is a periodic oscillation. Fourier transform was utilized to transform the sloshing forces in the time domain to the signals in the frequency domain. By spectrum analysis, it was found that the first-order oscillation that has the biggest amplitude is the most important one for liquid sloshing. For further command on liquid sloshing, modal shapes for the first sixth modal were acquired by ANSYS. It is drawn that the odd modals have anti-symmetrical shapes and the first-order oscillation makes the biggest contribution on liquid sloshing, the even modals have symmetrical shapes and could not contribute to liquid sloshing.

A numerical model has been developed to determine the large-amplitude motions of a steered vessel subjected to severe wave conditions, including those that may lead to capsizing. The model was used to identify different modes of capsizing, and to study relevant mechanisms and conditions. In this paper emphasis is placed on the theoretical aspects. The nonlinear model combines both potential and viscous flow effects, where integrations are carried out in the time domain over the instantaneous free surface; first-order memory effects are taken into account, and the free surface can be irregular, Some new results are presented concerning statistical properties relevant to the simulation of random following or quartering seas.

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.

This paper deals with the analysis of interharmonics, which are due to the presence of a nonlinear load. The tool for the analysis was a mathematical apparatus - wavelet packet transform. Which has a number of advantages over the traditional Fourier transform. A simulation model was developed in Simulink to simulate a non-stationary non-sinusoidal mode. The use of the wavelet packet transform will allow to determine the mode parameters with high accuracy from the obtained wavelet coefficients. It also makes it possible to obtain information, both in the frequency domain of the signal and in the time domain.

Abstract The frequency response function (FRF), defined as the ratio between the Fourier transform of the time-domain output and the Fourier transform of the time-domain input, is a common tool to analyze the relationships between inputs and outputs of a mechanical system. Learning the FRF for mechanical systems can facilitate system identification, condition-based health monitoring, and improve performance metrics, by providing an input-output model that describes the system dynamics. Existing FRF identification assumes there is a one-to-one mapping between each input frequency component and output frequency component. However, during dynamic operations, the FRF can present complex dependencies with frequency cross-correlations due to modulation effects, nonlinearities, and mechanical noise. Furthermore, existing FRFs assume linearity between input-output spectrums with varying mechanical loads, while in practice FRFs can depend on the operating conditions and show high nonlinearities. Outputs of existing neural networks are typically low-dimensional labels rather than real-time high-dimensional measurements. This paper proposes a vector regression method based on deep neural networks for the learning of runtime FRFs from measurement data under different operating conditions. More specifically, a neural network based on an encoder-decoder with a symmetric compression structure is proposed. The deep encoder-decoder network features simultaneous learning of the regression relationship between input and output embeddings, as well as a discriminative model for output spectrum classification under different operating conditions. The learning model is validated using experimental data from a high-pressure hydraulic test rig. The results show that the proposed model can learn the FRF between sensor measurements under different operating conditions with high accuracy and denoising capability. The learned FRF model provides an estimation for sensor measurements when a physical sensor is not feasible and can be used for operating condition recognition.

A hydrodynamics computer module was developed to evaluate the linear and nonlinear loads on floating wind turbines using a new fluid-impulse formulation for coupling with the FAST program. The new formulation allows linear and nonlinear loads on floating bodies to be computed in the time domain. It also avoids the computationally intensive evaluation of temporal and spatial gradients of the velocity potential in the Bernoulli equation and the discretization of the nonlinear free surface. The new hydrodynamics module computes linear and nonlinear loads — including hydrostatic, Froude-Krylov, radiation and diffraction, as well as nonlinear effects known to cause ringing, springing, and slow-drift loads — directly in the time domain. The time-domain Green function is used to solve the linear and nonlinear free-surface problems and efficient methods are derived for its computation. The body instantaneous wetted surface is approximated by a panel mesh and the discretization of the free surface is circumvented by using the Green function. The evaluation of the nonlinear loads is based on explicit expressions derived by the fluid-impulse theory, which can be computed efficiently. Computations are presented of the linear and nonlinear loads on the MIT/NREL tension-leg platform. Comparisons were carried out with frequency-domain linear and second-order methods. Emphasis was placed on modeling accuracy of the magnitude of nonlinear low- and high-frequency wave loads in a sea state. Although fluid-impulse theory is applied to floating wind turbines in this paper, the theory is applicable to other offshore platforms as well.

This paper describes an innovative technique for the quality control of gear pumps based on the frequency analysis of the oscillations of the discharge pressure using a new mathematical tool called "the spectrum of the power cepstrum." It consists in applying Fourier transform of the pressure data sampled in the time domain three times consecutively. The innovative technique makes it possible to obtain an acceptance mask for a set of gear pumps in the same series, in which the class and entity of a defect can be detected.

The real-time pitch shifting process is widely used in various types of music production. The pitch shifting technology can be divided into two major types, the time domain type and the frequency domain type. Compared with the time domain method, the frequency domain method has the advantage of large shifting scale, low total cost of computing and the more flexibility of the algorithm. However, the use of Fourier Transform in frequency domain processing leads to the inevitable inherent frequency leakage effects which decrease the accuracy of the pitch shifting effect. In order to restrain the side effect of Fourier Transform, window functions are used to fall down the spectrum-aliasing. In practical processing, Haimming Window and Blackman Window are frequently used. In this paper, we compare both the effect of the two window functions in the restraint of frequency leakage and the performance and accuracy in subjective based on the traditional phase vocoder[1]. Experiment shows that Haimming Window is generally better than Blackman Window in pitch shifting process.

Continuous wavelet transform (CWT) is a linear convolution of signal and wavelet function for a fixed scale. This paper studies the algorithm of CWT with Morlet wavelet as mother wavelet by using nonzero-padded linear convolution. The time domain filter, which is a non-causal filter, is the sample of wavelet function. By making generalized discrete Fourier transform (GDFT) and inverse transform for this filter, we can get a geometrically weighted periodic extension of the filter when evaluated outside its original support. From this extension of the time domain filter, we can get a causal filter. In this paper, GDFT-based algorithm for CWT, which has a more concise form than that of linear convolution proposed by Jorge Martinez, is constructed by using this causal filter. The analytic expression of the GDFT of this filter, which is essential for GDFT-based algorithm for CWT, is deduced in this paper. The numerical experiments show that the calculation results of GDFT-based algorithm are stable and reliable; the running speed of GDFT-based algorithm is faster than that of the other two algorithms studied in our previous work.
