Observability Inequality for the Kirchhoff-Rayleigh Plate Like Equation in a Short Time

In this paper, for any given observation time and suitable moving observation domains, the author establishes a sharp observability inequality for the Kirchhoff-Rayleigh plate like equation with a suitable potential in any space dimension. The approach is based on a delicate energy estimate. Moreover, the observability constant is estimated by means of an explicit function of the norm of the coefficient involved in the equation.     

Nonlinear transient thermal stress and elastic wave propagation analyses of thick temperature-dependent FGM cylinders,using a second-order point-collocation method

Nonlinear transient thermal stress and elastic wave propagation analyses are developed for hollow thick temperature-dependent FGM cylinders subjected to dynamic thermomechanical loads. Stress wave propagation, wave shape distortion, and speed variation under impulsive mechanical loads in thermal environments are also investigated. In contrast to researches accomplished so far, a second-order formulation rather than a first-order one is employed to improve the accuracy. The FDM method (as a point-collocation FEM method) is used. It is known that other FEM methods cannot show the actual trend jumps due to distributing the abrupt changes in the quantities as the numerical errors and the residuals of the governing equations among the nodal results. Furthermore, the required computational time and allocated computer memory are much reduced by the present solution algorithm. The cylinder is not divided into isotropic sub-cylinders. Therefore, artificial wave reflections from the hard interfaces are avoided. Time variations of the temperatures, displacements, and stresses due to the dynamic or impulsive loads are determined by solving the resulted highly nonlinear governing equations using an iterative updating solution scheme. A sensitivity analysis includes effects of the volume fraction indices, dimensions, and temperature-dependency of the material properties is performed. Results reveal the significant effect of the temperature-dependency of the material properties on the thermoelastic stresses and present some interesting characteristics of the thermoelastic and wave propagation behaviors.     

Nonlinear problem of active sound control

We consider the problem of active sound control, in which some domain is protected from the field generated outside. The active shielding is realized via the implementation of additional sources in such a way that the total contribution of all sources leads to the wanted effect. Mathematically the problem is reduced to seeking the source terms satisfying some a priori described requirements and belongs to the class of inverse source problems. From the application standpoint, this problem can be closely related to active noise shielding and active vibration. It is important that along with unwanted field to be shielded a wanted field is accepted in the analysis. The solution to the problem requires only the knowledge of the total field at the perimeter of the shielded domain. For the first time the active shielding sources are obtained for the nonlinear statement of the problem. It is obtained via the theory of potentials, and the solution is represented in the form of a simple layer. For this purpose, the theory of Calderón-Ryaben’kii potentials is first extended to nonlinear formulations. In the solution, we also take into account the feedback of the secondary sources on the input data.

多模干涉耦合器一般成像位置分析

自映像效应是多模波导的一个重要特性,利用多模波导自映像效应制成的多模干涉耦合器被广泛地应用于集成光学回路中。然而根据以往的文献要得出多模干涉耦合器的成像位置要经过一系列复杂的计算。根据多模干涉耦合器的自映像原理,对多模干涉耦合器的成像位置进行分析。成像位置与输入场位置和位置数密切相关,给出了成像位置的解析表达式,得出奇数、偶数的位置数的成像位置分别对应相同,并且奇、偶数的位置数所对应的成像位置之和为多模波导宽度的成像规律。用导模传输分析法验证了表达式和成像规律的正确性。根据成像位置的表达式和成像规律可以直接得出任意输入场位置和位置数所对应的成像位置。为一维和二维限制的多模干涉耦合器的设计提供了理论基础。     

Superluminal propagation of evanescent modes as a quantum effect

Contrary to mechanical waves, the two‐slit interference experiment of single photons shows that the behavior of classical electromagnetic waves corresponds to the quantum mechanical one of single photons, which is also different from the quantum‐field‐theory behavior such as the creations and annihilations of photons, the vacuum fluctuations, etc. Owing to a purely quantum effect, quantum tunneling particles including tunneling photons (evanescent modes) can propagate over a spacelike interval. With this picture we conclude that the superluminality of evanescent modes is a quantum mechanical rather than a classical phenomenon.     

Converting the UK calculation of road traffic noise (CORTN) to a model capable of calculating LAeq,1h for the Tehran’s roads

This paper describes the methodology through which the UK calculation of road traffic noise (CORTN) has been converted to the algorithms that are able to calculate hourly A-weighted equivalent sound pressure level (L_Aeq,1h) for the Tehran’s roads. The methodology adopts two different approaches to model calibration and performance test through the holdout validation method on the basis of the database including 52 samples taken from 52 sampling stations located alongside 5 roads of Tehran at distances less than 4 m from the nearside carriageway edge. As to the CORTN manual the distances less than 4 m are considered to be equal to 4 m. In the first approach the model is calibrated through carrying out nonlinear regression parameter estimation using 50% of samples to replace the basic noise level parameters with the new ones that are presumably able to satisfy the objective of the study with an acceptable fitness of the model. In the second approach the model calibration is carried out on the basis of 30 measurements taken from 2 roads. In the next step the other subsets of samples are introduced into the calibrated equations to conduct the performance test. Non parametric goodness of fit tests, i.e. two related samples Wilcoxon and two independent samples Kolmogorov-Smirnov, respectively conducted for the calibration and the performance test steps; indicate satisfactory results for both approaches.     

Intelligent active vibration control in an isolation platform

This paper presents the study on the vibration attenuation in an isolated platform by combining multi-layer perception (MLP) neural network, radial basis function (RBF) neural network, cerebella model articulation controller (CMAC) neural network and fuzzy neural networks (FNN) with error back propagation algorithm to control voice coil actuator. Usually, the methods in past time to control vibration were mainly designed by using mathematical models, which must be nearly close to the actual plant models. As regards to these utilized control methods, the most important advantage of them are that they have capability of self tuning the parameters of controllers and could adapt the changes of the environments. The performance of attenuation and control effectiveness can be evaluated by placing the accelerator to measure the amplitude at the center of the isolated platform. The experimental results in this study show that the control methods as adopted could greatly attenuate the vibration of resonance and external disturbance in an isolation platform.     

Nonlinear pulse propagation in periodic media with and without defects

The influence of single defects within a periodic structure on the nonlinear transmission of optical pulses through the structure is investigated numerically. A stack of alternating linear and cubically nonlinear layers of submicron thicknesses is considered. The simulations are based on a modified equation for the pulse envelope. Diffraction of the pulse has been taken into account, too. The results of simulations have been demonstrated as an essential influence of defects within the periodic structure on the nonlinear propagation of optical pulses, when the carrier frequency is chosen within the stop band of the structure with the defect.     

A Double-Beam Radiation Leaky Wave Antenna Based on Left-Handed Material Slab with Metallic Strips Periodically Loaded

A new leaky-wave antenna structure is carefully investigated in the paper, which is based on a grounded Left-Handed material (LHM) slab periodically loaded with metal strips. A rigorous formulation similar to the spectral domain method for planar circuits is deduced to analyze the radiation characteristics of the antenna. Theoretical analysis results reveal that at specific frequency region or with proper geometrical parameters chosen, the present structure supports simultaneously two leaky modes corresponding to the forward and backward radiations. The principle of the antenna is due to the peculiar propagation properties of the unperturbed LHM grounded slab waveguide, which is totally different from the phenomenon of double or even more space harmonic mode radiations in normal periodic structures. Extensive numerical results of the leakage characteristics are given to establish useful guidelines for the design of the new type leaky wave antenna.
