Finite Element Techniques for Dynamic Crack Analysis in Piezoelectrics

This paper deals with numerical methods, developed to analyze plane stationary cracks in piezoelectric structures under dynamic electromechanical loading conditions. In the first part an explicit finite element scheme is presented, which has been developed to solve the transient coupled electromechanical boundary value problem. A special technique is implemented in the algorithm, accounting for the limited electrical permeability of the crack. In contrast to well known algorithms for static calculations it does not require any iteration. In order to calculate dynamic stress and electric displacement intensity factors for arbitrary crack configurations, the interaction integral is generalized for electromechanical problems. The efficient applicability and the high accuracy of the implementations are demonstrated by numerical examples, giving insight into several effects occuring with dynamically loaded cracks in piezoelectrics     

Unsupervised texture segmentation using Gabor filters

This paper presents a texture segmentation algorithm inspired by the multi-channel filtering theory for visual information processing in the early stages of human visual system. The channels are characterized by a bank of Gabor filters that nearly uniformly covers the spatial-frequency domain, and a systematic filter selection scheme is proposed, which is based on reconstruction of the input image from the filtered images. Texture features are obtained by subjecting each (selected) filtered image to a nonlinear transformation and computing a measure of “energy” in a window around each pixel. A square-error clustering algorithm is then used to integrate the feature images and produce a segmentation. A simple procedure to incorporate spatial information in the clustering process is proposed. A relative index is used to estimate the “true” number of texture categories.     

FE analysis of stresses and stress intensity factors of interfacial cracks in a CTS specimen

A plane stress finite element analysis was implemented to understand the stress fields for a crack lying at an aluminium/epoxy interface of a compact tension and shear specimen. The interaction integral method was used to separate the mixed-mode stress intensity factors at the interfacial crack-tip under different loading modes, which can have important implications for characterisation of interfacial crack growth.

Numerical analysis of waveguide bandpass filters using singular integral equations and construction of simple design formulas

A powerful numerical solution is presented for bandpass filters in rectangular waveguides. The filters are composed of cascading of perfectly conducting inductive obstacles with zero thickness: asymmetrical windows, symmetrical windows, or symmetrical strips. The problem is reduced to a set of singular integral equations, which is solved by an extension of Lewin's quasi‐static procedure. After the accuracy of the classical formulas for the equivalent reactance is investigated, the simple inverse formulas are constructed to yield proper window widths for desired equivalent parameters. Their effectiveness is demonstrated by designing practical filters having maximally flat or equal‐ripple characteristics. © 2004 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Automatic Voltage Regulator Design by Modified Discrete Integral Variable Structure Model Following Control

In power systems, the automatic voltage regulator (AVR) is designed to make the terminal voltage to accurately track the deviation of the reference voltage. To achieve the desired requirements, this paper proposes the modified discrete integral variable structure model following control (MDIVSMFC) approach. The MDIVSMFC approach comprises a reference model part for specifying the design requirements and a MDIVSC part for minimizing the errors between the plant and model. The non-ideal sliding motion is introduced to take the place of the ideal sliding motion in discrete-time systems. Its existence conditions are used to adapt the proposed approach to the discrete systems. The application of MDIVSMFC to an AVR design is developed. Procedures for determining the control function, the coefficients of the sliding surface and the integral control gain are also proposed in detail. Simulation results are compared with the IEEE type-I voltage regulator to demonstrate that the proposed scheme can achieve fast and robust responses.
