Dielectric loss is caused due to imperfect dielectric insulation, in order to study the impact of the dielectric loss consider a uniform loss transmission line with leak conductance. The BLT equation from the frequency domain to time domain is derived to improve the time domain BLT equation, and the aim of using the time domain BLT equation to calculate load voltage of the transmission line with transient signal source, through the calculation results to analyze the impact of the dielectric loss. The results showed that the attenuation of the terminal load transient response voltage occurred when the dielectric loss exists, and this effect is nonlinear.

Traditional ground-motion models (GMMs) are used to compute pseudo-spectral acceleration (PSA) from future earthquakes and are generally developed by regression of PSA using a physics-based functional form. PSA is a relatively simple metric that correlates well with the response of several engineering systems and is a metric commonly used in engineering evaluations; however, characteristics of the PSA calculation make application of scaling factors dependent on the frequency content of the input motion, complicating the development and adaptability of GMMs. By comparison, Fourier amplitude spectrum (FAS) represents ground-motion amplitudes that are completely independent from the amplitudes at other frequencies, making them an attractive alternative for GMM development. Random vibration theory (RVT) predicts the peak response of motion in the time domain based on the FAS and a duration, and thus can be used to relate FAS to PSA. Using RVT to compute the expected peak response in the time domain for given FAS therefore presents a significant advantage that is gaining traction in the GMM field. This article provides recommended RVT procedures relevant to GMM development, which were developed for the Next Generation Attenuation (NGA)-East project. In addition, an orientation-independent FAS metric—called the effective amplitude spectrum (EAS)—is developed for use in conjunction with RVT to preserve the mean power of the corresponding two horizontal components considered in traditional PSA-based modeling (i.e., RotD50). The EAS uses a standardized smoothing approach to provide a practical representation of the FAS for ground-motion modeling, while minimizing the impact on the four RVT properties ( zeroth moment, [Formula: see text]; bandwidth parameter, [Formula: see text]; frequency of zero crossings, [Formula: see text]; and frequency of extrema, [Formula: see text]). Although the recommendations were originally developed for NGA-East, they and the methodology they are based on can be adapted to become portable to other GMM and engineering problems requiring the computation of PSA from FAS.

Experimental variation from ultrasonic hardware is one source of uncertainty in measured ultrasonic data. This uncertainty leads to a reduction in the accuracy of images generated from these data. In this paper, a quick, easy-to-use and robust methodology is proposed to reduce this uncertainty in images generated using the total focusing method (TFM). Using a 128-element linear phased array, multiple full matrix capture (FMC) datasets of a planar reflection are used to characterise the experimental variation associated with each element index in the aperture. Following this, a methodology to decouple the time-domain error associated with transmission and reception at each element index is presented. These time-domain errors are then introduced into a simulated array model used to generate the two-way pressure profile from the array. The side-lobe-to-main-lobe energy ratio (SMER) and beam offset are used to quantify the impact of these measured time-domain errors on the pressure profile. This analysis shows that the SMER is raised by more than 6 dB and the beam is offset by more than 1 mm from its programmed focal position. This calibration methodology is then demonstrated using a steel non-destructive testing (NDT) sample with three side-drilled holes (SDHs). The time delay errors from transmission and reception are introduced into the time-of-flight (TOF) calculation for each ray path in the TFM. This results in an enhancement in the accuracy of defect localisation in the TFM image.

The ship refuge inside a harbor in storm requires the analysis of moored ship motions along a quay wall. In this case the time domain analysis with the convolution integral method becomes effective. But the calculation accuracy is not enough and must be improved to analyze actual moored ship motions. In this paper some methods of the improvement are proposed and their efficiency is verified by comparing the calculation results with the experimental ones.

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.

Longitudinal ride comfort is one of the most crucial features to most advanced vehicle control systems. Literature review shows that the ride comfort analysis in vehicle longitudinal motion can be divided into two categories: time domain and frequency domain. Most vehicle longitudinal control designs incorporate jerk and acceleration constraints from the time-domain comfort criterion. However, the vehicle longitudinal characteristics in the frequency range important to passenger ride comfort are rarely discussed in the vehicle control literature. This paper proposes an improved vehicle longitudinal model that captures tire and suspension modes accurately and investigates the impact of these often-ignored vehicle resonant modes to ride comfort. This study shows that the "tire-mode switching behavior" affects longitudinal ride comfort of a stopping vehicle rather than the suspension. A passenger car was tested as an example, and the collected data verified the analytical prediction from the improved vehicle longitudinal model.

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on tourism has received general attention in the literature, while the role of news during the pandemic has been ignored. Using a time-frequency connectedness approach, this paper focuses on the spillover effects of COVID-19-related news on the return and volatility of four regional travel and leisure (T&L) stocks. The results in the time domain reveal significant spillovers from news to T&L stocks. Specifically, in the return system, T&L stocks are mainly affected by media hype, while in the volatility system, they are mainly affected by panic sentiment. This paper also finds two risk contagion paths. The contagion index and Global T&L stock are the sources of these paths. The results in the frequency domain indicate that the shocks in the T&L industry are mainly driven by short-term fluctuations. The spillovers from news to T&L stocks and among these T&L stocks are stronger within 1 month.
