A methodology for the measurement of high field strain and polarisation responses of fine scale piezoelectric fibres is presented. Using analytical models, the response of the fibres is extracted from measurements made on 1–3 composites. Analytical modelling shows that composites with a high fibre volume fraction are desirable for accurate prediction of the fibres response. Poor model response ...

Micro-spiral inductor dedicated to microbeads manipulation in a fluidic channel had been optimized by analytical modelling correlated to multi physics fem numerical Maxwell®3D L software.

This paper presents an approach to the modelling of transient thermal states in electronic circuits using an analytical solution of the heat equation. Fully three-dimensional analytical time dependent solutions are determined with the help of Green’s functions. The solution method is illustrated in detail on a practical example, where the results of transient thermal simulations of a real hybri...

As multimedia applications are becoming reality in wireless/mobile environments new analytical modelling techniques are required that can handle the variable bit-rate nature of such applications. This paper presents an analytical method to examine channel occupancy and blocking properties of radio base stations serving VBR connections. This method is based on an approximation that makes possibl...

In addition to their archival and display functions, spatial information systems have often incorporated an analytical component. Often, this capability has not provided decision-makers with the degree of modelling flexibility and support that they require. Spatial decision support systems are designed to assist decision-making by fully integrating analytical, display and retrieval capabilities...

The efficiency of a large-scale parallel computer is critically dependent on the performance of its interconnection network. Analytical modelling plays an important role towards obtaining a clear understanding of network performance under various design spaces. This paper proposes an analytical performance model for circuit-switched hypercubes in the presence of multiple time-scale correlated t...

A closed loop switching function for single-axis slew maneuvers of spacecraft using on-off thrusters is investigated by analytical simulations and experimental demonstrations. The proposed switching function provides flexibility of controlling multiple firing and pointing errors in the presence of modelling errors and structural flexibility. The proposed switching functions for three-axis maneu...

The context for modelling transport systems and their use is set out. Such modelling is based on representing the transport system by a network of nodes and links, and the characteristics of this representation needed to reflect the principal realities of the system are outlined. The characteristics of use of the system that need to be reflected are described. Purposes of the modelling are set ...

Several analytical models have been proposed in the literature for wormhole -routed multicomputers. However, all these models have been discussed in the context of unicast communication and there has been comparatively little activity in the area of analytical modelling of collective communication algorithms like broadcast. To our best knowledge, this paper presents the first analytical model t...
