the harmonic in distribution systems becomes an important problem due to an increase in nonlinear loads. this paper presents a new approach based on a graph algorithm for optimum placement of passive harmonic filters in a multi-bus system, which suffers from harmonic current sources. the objective of this paper is to minimize the network loss, the cost of the filter and the total harmonic disto...

A study of some reported LC quadrature voltagecontrolled oscillators (LC-QVCO) is performed in which it is shown that robustness of the quadrature oscillation varies depending on the coupling configuration. Next, a new superharmonic LC-QVCO is proposed in which the common source node in either of two identical crossconnected LC-VCOs is coupled via a capacitor to the node common between the two ...

This paper presents the application of the method of generalized differential quadrature (GDQ) for the analysis of hydrodynamic thrust bearings. GDQ is a simple, efficient, high-order numerical technique and it uses the information on all grid points to approach the derivatives of the unknown function. The effectiveness of the solution technique is verified by comparing the GDQ computed results...

We investigate Gaussian spherical quadrature as a method for calculating orientational averages in solid-state NMR. For the case of magic-angle-spinning sideband amplitudes of isolated spins-1/2, we demonstrate the superiority of Gaussian spherical quadrature over other orientational averaging methods. Depending on the shift anisotropy parameters and the desired accuracy, the computation speed ...

v-shaped and triangular cantilevers are widely employed in atomic force microscope (afm) imaging techniques due to their stability. for the design of vibration control systems of afm cantilevers which utilize patched piezo actuators, obtaining an accurate system model is indispensable prior to acquiring the information related to natural modes. a general differential quadrature element method (...
