The representation of electromagnetic structures by lumped element circuits is revisited. Network models can be established by a subsequent application of system identification and circuit synthesis methods to data obtained by numerical simulation or from measurement. Network models provide a compact description of electromagnetic structures and can contribute significantly to the formulation o...

It is shown how network modeling of lumped-parameter physical systems naturally leads to a geometrically defined class of systems, called port-controlled Hamiltonian systems with dissipation. The structural properties of these systems are discussed, in particular the existence of Casimir functions and their implications for stability. It is shown how a power-conserving interconnection of port-c...

The unique merits of internal permanent magnet synchronous machine (IPMSM) make it a good candidate for automotive industrial applications. This paper presents the design of an internal permanent magnet synchronous machine having fractional slot configuration with single layer concentrated winding arrangement. The electromagnetic analysis has been performed using finite element analysis via ANS...

In this paper, lumped-parameter models (LPMs) were developed and utilized to simulate nitrate concentration in the groundwater of Gaza City and Jabalia Camp (GCJC) in the Gaza Coastal Aquifer (GCA) in Palestine. In the GCJC area, nitrate levels exceed the maximum contaminant level (MCL) of 10 mg/L NO3-N (45 mg/L NO3) in many wells. Elevated nitrate concentrations in the groundwater of GCJC area...

Lumped parameter hydrologic models are frequently used for operational streamflow forecasting in the United States. With the deployment of the Weather Surveillance Radar 1988 Doppler (WSR88D), many hydrologists will use radar-rainfall data as input to these models. WSR-88D precipitation products can be used in a variety of ways (Shedd and Fulton, 1993; Lindsey, 1993). In this paper, we examine ...

We propose a novel approach based on dual filtering techniques for the detection of possible variations of the thermal properties of the spacecraft that result from variations of its physical properties and for determining a complete thermal mapping of the system. System and sensor uncertainties are taken into account in the lumped parameter modeling of the thermal system and a dual filter is r...

An intelligent backstepping sliding-mode control system using radial basis function network (RBFN) for a two-axis motion control system using permanent magnet linear synchronous motors (PMLSMs) is proposed. First, single-axis motion dynamics with the introduction of a lumped uncertainty, including cross-coupled interference between the two-axis mechanism, is derived. Then, to improve the contro...

The response of back-supported buffer plates comprising a solid face sheet and foam core backing impacted by a column of high velocity particles (sand slug) is investigated via a lumped parameter model and coupled discrete/continuum simulations. The buffer plate is either resting on (unattached) or attached to a rigid stationary foundation. The lumped parameter model is used to construct maps o...
