It reduces saturation magnetic flux density, decreases drastically magnetic permeability, widens hysteresis loop and decreases magnetostriction coefficient which leads to less strain under certain magnetic field intensity.

The analysis was performed for an OFDM system aligned with the IEEE 802.16e standard with 256 and 1024 subcarriers. The results indicate that SLM has superior performance over PTS in reducing PAPR for the same number of subcarriers but at the expense of higher computational complexity.

It operates on island operation during normal mode with utility company supply on hot standby mode. The plant has two generation units rated at 4.2 MW each, with a maximum generation capacity of 8.4 MW. In this paper, a practical short term load forecasting (STLF) method for UTP is presented. In the proposed method, a fuzzy logic approach was used and STLF model was designed based on UTP 2008 electricity demand data.

The inverse algorithm consists of direct, inverse analysis and gradient-based optimization method. The direct analysis used Finite Element Method (FEM) in an unstructured grid system to solve the direct heat conduction problem. The inverse analysis is based on recording temperatures data on surface of refrigeration tube that calculates the objective function. The employed gradient-based optimization method is constructed using the adjoint, sensitivity, and conjugate gradient method that are used to calculate the gradient of objective function, step size, and minimizing the objective function, respectively. The effect of shape scales and noisy temperature data are investigated. The results show that this proposed inverse algorithm is more efficient in prediction of frost formation.","PeriodicalId":6383,"journal":{"name":"2011 Fourth International Conference on Modeling, Simulation and Applied Optimization","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-04-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89571165","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Authors review commonly used methods for the simulation of elastic wave propagation pointing out their advantages and disadvantages. Subsequently methods for crack and delamination modelling are presented. Proposed models are used for numerical testing of designed SHM system. Simulation results are compared with experimental ones, showing very good agreement.

It has been widely extended and become both a part of most good degree studies curricula as a routine tool for advanced design and optimisation in various industries. However, sometimes its simplicity is still misunderstood. Even PI and in this contribution specifically heat integration (HI) has some potential pitfalls related to the problem formulation and data extraction. Regardless of the precision used, the results largely depend on solving the correct problem — i.e. if the formulation reflects the reality adequately and if the appropriate data have been extracted. An incorrect data extraction has been the reason for conclusions that PI did not work. When revisiting most of those problems, it becomes obvious that it was not a fault of the PI methodology, but an inexperienced user.","PeriodicalId":6383,"journal":{"name":"2011 Fourth International Conference on Modeling, Simulation and Applied Optimization","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2011-04-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78400091","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
