This paper formulates a simple matrix-based solution to estimate the voltage-dependent capacitance of a weakly nonlinear device at microwave and millimeter wave frequencies. Unlike other approaches, which rely on the direct capacitance measurement at different bias voltages, the proposed technique generates a large signal model for the capacitance directly from the frequency domain measurement ...

Harmonic balance (HB) method is well known principle for analyzing periodic oscillations on nonlinear networks and systems. Because the HB method has a truncation error, approximated solutions have been guaranteed by error bounds. However, its numerical computation is very time-consuming compared with solving the HB equation. This paper proposes an algebraic representation of the error bound us...

Harmonic modeling for power systems involves the incorporation of device models into a power system model. The development of accurate system models for harmonic studies involves the selection of the devices to include in the model as well as the selection of device models which achieve a balance between complexity and accuracy for the study in question.

Numerical modeling and analysis are effective techniques to assist in the design of high-frequency switching power supplies. Striving for high power densities and higher efficiencies has pushed the operating frequencies up, resulting in new circuit configurations and different component architecture. This paper presents a numerical method that is used to analyze magnetic systems for switching p...

In the paper, a novel magneto-electro-elastic model of bi-directional (2D) functionally graded materials (FGMs) beams is developed for investigating nonlinear dynamics. It shown that asymmetric modes induced by 2D FGMs may significantly affect dynamic responses, which tremendously different from previous studies. Taking into account geometric nonlinearity, equation motion and associated boundar...

This study proposes a methodology to analyze the nonlinear vibration characteristics of rotor systems with multiple localized nonlinearities adopting Finite Element Method (FEM), free interface Component Mode Synthesis (CMS) method, and modified Incremental Harmonic Balance (IHB) method. The system is supported by squeeze film dampers (SFDs) on both sides, at nodes SFD arrangement, strong local...

In this paper, we present a real-time equalizer to control a volume balance of harmonic and percussive components in music signals without a priori knowledge of scores or included instruments. The harmonic and percussive components of music signals have much different structures in the power spectrogram domain, the former is horizontal, while the latter is vertical. Exploiting the anisotropy, o...

This paper examines efficient methods for the calculation of open circuit voltage distortion in salient pole synchronous generators with damper windings. It then proceeds to examine the role of damper bars in the level of distortion. The simplified finite element method employed is inclusive of eddy current effects, dynamic field current and full interaction of all MMF sources. It allows accura...

The method of Unrestricted Harmonie Balance (UHB) is a generally applicable procedure to determine the Fourier coefficients and constants of motion (frequency, velocity) of non-linear periodic phenomena in time and space and was outlined and applied to various problems in chemistry in preceding papers. Here the truncation error is investigated by comparing the UHB results for various truncation...
