Laplace Transform for Finite Element Analysis of Electromagnetic Interferences in Underground Metallic Structures

A numerical methodology is proposed for the calculation of transient electromagnetic interference induced by overhead high-voltage power lines in metallic structures buried in soil—pipelines for oil or gas transportation. A series of 2D finite element simulations was employed to sample the harmonic response of a given geometry section. The numerical inverse Laplace transform of the results allowed obtaining the time domain evolution of the induced voltages and currents in the buried conductors, for any given condition of the power line.

Sufficient condition for infinite solutions of Diophantine Equation: n! = P(s)

In this article I have used method which tells that number of solutions of Diophantine equation: n! = P(s) is infinite if some condition is satisfied. I have applied Inverse Laplace Transform to n! = P(s) and got function f(t) which is easier to deal with. The condition is given in section below contains zero of f(t) or zero of some modified function of f(t): g(t) = f(t) - h(t).

Using inverse Laplace transform in positronium lifetime imaging

Positronium (Ps) lifetime imaging is gaining attention to bring out additional biomedical information from positron emission tomography (PET). The lifetime of Ps in vivo can change depending on the physical and chemical environments related to some diseases. Due to the limited sensitivity, Ps lifetime imaging may require merging some voxels for statistical accuracy. This paper presents a method for separating the lifetime components in the voxel to avoid information loss due to averaging. The mathematics for this separation is the inverse Laplace transform (ILT), and the authors examined an iterative numerical ILT algorithm using Tikhonov regularization, namely CONTIN, to discriminate a small lifetime difference due to oxygen saturation. The separability makes it possible to merge voxels without missing critical information on whether they contain abnormally long or short lifetime components. The authors conclude that ILT can compensate for the weaknesses of Ps lifetime imaging and extract the maximum amount of information.

Wear of Functionally Graded Coatings under Frictional Heating Conditions

Multilayered and functionally graded coatings are extensively used for protection against wear of the working surfaces of mechanisms and machines subjected to sliding contact. The paper considers the problem of wear of a strip made of a functionally graded material, taking into account the heating of the sliding contact from friction. Wear is modeled by a moving strip along the surface of a hard abrasive in the form of a half-plane. With the help of the integral Laplace transform with respect to time, the solutions are constructed as convolutions from the law of the introduction of an abrasive into the strip and the original in the form of a contour integral of the inverse Laplace transform. The study of the integrands of contour quadratures in the complex plane allowed determination of the regions of stable solutions to the problem. Unstable solutions of the problem lead to the concept of thermoelastic instability of the contact with friction and formed regions of unstable solutions. The solutions obtained made it possible to determine a formula for the coefficient of functionally graded inhomogeneity of the coating material and to study its effect on the occurrence of thermoelastic instability of the contact taking friction into account, as well as on its main characteristics: temperature, displacement, stress and wear of the functionally graded material of the coating. The effects of the abrasive speed, contact stresses and temperature on wear of the coating with the functionally graded inhomogeneity of the material by the depth were investigated.

Prime n solutions of the Brocard’s Problem

In this paper on the [1]“Brocard’s Problem” , I have worked on case when n is prime and n divides m-1. Necessary conditions on m are given in Theorem and Corollaries.I used necessary and sufficient condition of primes. Assuming that n is prime and divides m-1, I applied Inverse Laplace Transform on the obtained equation and got a polynomial function which is easier to deal with. I worked with zero of the polynomial function and got lower bound of p which was not useful as p tends to infinity, but solving quartic equation which I have given at the end could give significant upper, lower bounds of p.What would happen to those upper, lower bounds if p tends to infinity?

Stress analysis of adhesively-bonded single stepped-lap joints based on three-parameter fractional viscoelastic foundation model

This paper aims to develop a viscoelastic analytical model for adhesively bonded single stepped-lap joints subjected to tensile loading. The adherends are aluminum alloy A6063 and modeled as Timoshenko elastic beams and the adhesive is epoxy type B. A three-parameter fractional viscoelastic foundation (3PFVF) model is proposed to express the governing stresses in the joint and the fractional Zener model is used to model the viscoelastic behavior of the adhesive layer. The proposed 3PFVF model makes it possible to have different peel stresses between the two interfaces of adhesive and adherends. The governing differential equations are derived in the Laplace domain, and then solved and transformed simultaneously in the time domain using the Gaver-Stehfest inverse Laplace transform method. The finite element simulation with ANSYS is applied to validate the proposed method. The results show that a simple fractional viscoelastic model, which has a short differential equation, offers the same results as the classical viscoelastic models, which have higher and more complex differential equations. Moreover, the results show that the maximum shear and peel stresses in the single stepped-lap joints are about 20% less than single-lap joints.

Independent component analysis combined with Laplace inversion of spectrally resolved spin-alignment echo/T 1 3D 7Li NMR of superionic Li10GeP2S12

The use of independent component analysis (ICA) for the analysis of two-dimensional (2D) spin-alignment echo–T 1 7Li NMR correlation data with transient echo detection as a third dimension is demonstrated for the superionic conductor Li10GeP2S12 (LGPS). ICA was combined with Laplace inversion, or discrete inverse Laplace transform (ILT), to obtain spectrally resolved 2D correlation maps. Robust results were obtained with the spectra as well as the vectorized correlation maps as independent components. It was also shown that the order of ICA and ILT steps can be swapped. While performing the ILT step before ICA provided better contrast, a substantial data compression can be achieved if ICA is executed first. Thereby the overall computation time could be reduced by one to two orders of magnitude, since the number of computationally expensive ILT steps is limited to the number of retained independent components. For LGPS, it was demonstrated that physically meaningful independent components and mixing matrices are obtained, which could be correlated with previously investigated material properties yet provided a clearer, better separation of features in the data. LGPS from two different batches was investigated, which showed substantial differences in their spectral and relaxation behavior. While in both cases this could be attributed to ionic mobility, the presented analysis may also clear the way for a more in-depth theoretical analysis based on numerical simulations. The presented method appears to be particularly suitable for samples with at least partially resolved static quadrupolar spectra, such as alkali metal ions in superionic conductors. The good stability of the ICA analysis makes this a prospect algorithm for preprocessing of data for a subsequent automatized analysis using machine learning concepts.

Comparison of Two Different Analytical Forms of Response for Fractional Oscillation Equation

The impulse response of the fractional oscillation equation was investigated, where the damping term was characterized by means of the Riemann–Liouville fractional derivative with the order α satisfying 0≤α≤2. Two different analytical forms of the response were obtained by using the two different methods of inverse Laplace transform. The first analytical form is a series composed of positive powers of t, which converges rapidly for a small t. The second form is a sum of a damped harmonic oscillation with negative exponential amplitude and a decayed function in the form of an infinite integral, where the infinite integral converges rapidly for a large t. Furthermore, the Gauss–Laguerre quadrature formula was used for numerical calculation of the infinite integral to generate an analytical approximation to the response. The asymptotic behaviours for a small t and large t were obtained from the two forms of response. The second form provides more details for the response and is applicable for a larger range of t. The results include that of the integer-order cases, α= 0, 1 and 2.

Bending of a Viscoelastic Timoshenko Cracked Beam Based on Equivalent Viscoelastic Spring Models

Considering the transverse crack as a massless viscoelastic rotational spring, the equivalent stiffness of the viscoelastic cracked beam is derived by Laplace transform and the generalized Dirac delta function. Using the standard linear solid constitutive equation and the inverse Laplace transform, the analytical expressions of the deflection and rotation angle of the viscoelastic Timoshenko beam with an arbitrary number of open cracks are obtained in the time domain. By numerical examples, the bending results of the analytical expressions are verified with those of the FEM program. Additionally, the effects of the time, slenderness ratio, and crack depth on the bending deformations of the different cracked beam models are revealed.
