A State Space Modeling And Control Method For Multivariable Smart Structural Systems, Robert Butler, Vittal S. Rao
A State Space Modeling And Control Method For Multivariable Smart Structural Systems, Robert Butler, Vittal S. Rao
Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works
A system identification technique for the derivation of minimal, continuous time state variable models for multivariable smart structural systems is presented. The structural identification technique is based on the measurement of eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the structure. Two sensors are required for each mode included in the structural system model. Unlike computational system identification techniques, the relatively large number of sensors simplifies the identification process making it ideal for systems with several inputs and outputs. Additionally, the identification technique allows the implementation of multi-input multi-output full state feedback controllers with simple analog hardware. The amount of hardware required for the …

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works
Alternative voltage control strategies for current-regulated PWM inverters are analyzed, including previously established feedforward and feedforward/feedback controllers and a newly proposed decoupling feedback control strategy. The steady-state and dynamic characteristics of each of these control methods are illustrated and compared for a selected inverter design. It is shown that the feedforward controller exhibits steady-state error and an undesirable overshoot of the output voltages during startup. The addition of a feedback loop eliminates the steady-state error and reduces the overshoot; however, the natural response is underdamped regardless of the choice of feedback gains. A decoupling feedback control strategy that eliminates the …

Investigation Of Fundamental Emi Source Mechanisms Driving Common-Mode Radiation From Printed Circuit Boards With Attached Cables, David M. Hockanson, James L. Drewniak, Todd H. Hubing, Thomas Van Doren, Fei Sha, Michael J. Wilhelm
Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works
Fundamental EMI source mechanisms leading to common-mode radiation from printed circuit boards with attached cables are presented in this paper. Two primary EMI source mechanisms have been identified: one associated with a differential-mode voltage and another associated with a differential-mode current, both of which result in a common-mode current on an attached cable. These mechanisms can be used to relate printed circuit layout geometries to EMI sources. The two mechanisms are demonstrated through numerical and experimental results, and an example from a production printed-circuit design is presented.

Generation Of Synthetic-Focus Images From Pulse-Echo Ultrasound Using Difference Equations, Daryl G. Beetner, R. Martin Arthur
Generation Of Synthetic-Focus Images From Pulse-Echo Ultrasound Using Difference Equations, Daryl G. Beetner, R. Martin Arthur
Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works
To produce a complete-dataset, pulse-echo image requires a knowledge of the time of flight (TOF) from each source to each sensor in the transducer array for each site to be imaged. Increasing the speed of TOF calculation is important in adaptive-focus schemes. The authors determined TOF more rapidly than via direct calculation by representing TOF surfaces by two-dimensional (2-D), positive-integer-degree polynomials implemented in their forward-difference form. Errors which accumulate due to the use of a difference equation depend on the degree of the polynomial and on the size of the image. The number of bits needed to address echo samples …

An Expert System Approach To Emc Modeling, Todd H. Hubing, James L. Drewniak, Thomas Van Doren, Navin Kashyap
Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works
Existing computer software for EMC analysis can be divided into three categories. Analytical modeling codes employ closed form expressions to solve problems of general interest to EMC engineers or circuit designers. Numerical modeling codes use numerical techniques to solve Maxwell's equations subject to specific boundary conditions. EMC rule checkers search a design for features that violate basic EMC design guidelines. This paper outlines the relative advantages and limitations of each of these three approaches and describes an expert system EMC modeling approach. The new approach combines analytical models, numerical models, and EMC rule-checking in order to evaluate designs in much …

Stacked-card and modules-on-backplane printed circuit board geometries are advantageous for conserving real-estate in many designs. Unfortunately, at high frequencies, current-driven noise sources may develop at the connector. The connector may effectively drive the daughter-card against the motherboard and attached cables, resulting in common-mode radiation. The connector geometry can be modified to reduce the level of the effective noise-source when high frequencies are routed between the mother-board and daughter-card. Current speeds and PCB board sizes result in geometries that are of significant dimensions in terms of wavelength at the upper frequency end of the signal spectrum. Geometries are then of sufficient …

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works
DC power bus decoupling of a multi-layer PCB is modeled by a combination of a lumped circuit model at low frequencies ( < 200 MHz), and a mixed-potential integral equation approach at high frequencies. In order to determine the lumped parameters of via interconnects, an effective procedure using a network analyzer has been developed to characterize the trace/via inductances/resistances. For an 8 inch × 10 inch ten-layer test board used in this study, the simulations show good agreement with the measurement. This method can lead to new design strategies of decoupling for multilayer PCB power buses.

Subcellular FDTD algorithms for modeling thin slots in conductors have previously been developed. One algorithm that is based on a quasi-static approximation has been shown to agree well with experimental results for thin slots in planes. This FDTD thin-slot algorithm is compared herein with moment method results for thin slots near corners.

Fdtd Modeling Of Common-Mode Radiation From Cables, David M. Hockanson, James L. Drewniak, Todd H. Hubing, Thomas Van Doren
Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works
Radiation from cables attached to printed circuit boards and shielding enclosures is among the primary concerns in meeting FCC Class A and B limits. The finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) method can be employed to model radiation from printed circuit boards and shielding enclosures with complex geometries, but difficulties in modeling wires and cables of arbitrary radii are encountered. Modeling the wire by setting the axial component of the electric field to zero in the FDTD method results in an effective wire radius that is determined by the mesh discretization. Neglecting the wire radius in applications, such as electromagnetic interference (EMI) or …

Measurement Parameter Optimization For Surface Crack Detection In Metals Using An Open-Ended Waveguide Probe, R. Zoughi, Stoyan I. Ganchev, Christian J. Huber
Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works
Fatigue and stress induced surface crack detection in metals is an important practical issue. A newly developed microwave inspection approach, using an open-ended rectangular waveguide, has proved to be an effective tool for detecting such cracks. This novel microwave approach overcomes some of the limitations associated with the standard detection methods for surface crack detection. In addition, this approach is applicable to exposed, filled (with a dielectric such as dirt, rust, etc.) and cracks under dielectric coatings such as paint. This paper presents the basic foundation of this surface crack detection methodology along with the ways by which measurement parameters …
Dispersion Comparison For Dsi- And Tensor-Based Nonorthogonal Fdtd, Hao Shi, James L. Drewniak
Dispersion Comparison For Dsi- And Tensor-Based Nonorthogonal Fdtd, Hao Shi, James L. Drewniak
Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works
An explicit formulation of the finite-difference time-domain-discrete surface integral (FDTD-DSI) technique has allowed a rigorous study of numerical dispersion for the method. The study shows that the DSI- and tensor-based FDTD methods do not have the same numerical dispersion relation. It also clarifies the recently reported discrepancies in the dispersion relation between the two approaches. This study also shows that the tensor-based FDTD algorithm exhibits better dispersion properties for a two-dimensional uniformly skewed mesh.

Demand side management programs are strategies designed to alter the shape of the load curve. In order to successfully implement such a strategy, customer acceptance of the program is vital. It is thus desirable to design a model for direct load control which may accommodate customer preferences. This paper presents a methodology for optimizing both customer satisfaction and utility unit commitment savings, based on a fuzzy load model for the direct load control of appliances

Dynamically Regularized Fast Rls With Application To Echo Cancellation, Steven L. Grant
Dynamically Regularized Fast Rls With Application To Echo Cancellation, Steven L. Grant
Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works
This paper introduces a dynamically regularized fast recursive least squares (DR-FRLS) adaptive filtering algorithm. Numerically stabilized FRLS algorithms exhibit reliable and fast convergence with low complexity even when the excitation signal is highly self-correlated. FRLS still suffers from instability, however, when the condition number of the implicit excitation sample covariance matrix is very high. DR-FRLS, overcomes this problem with a regularization process which only increases the computational complexity by 50%. The benefits of regularization include: (1) the ability to use small forgetting factors resulting in improved tracking ability and (2) better convergence over the standard regularization technique of noise injection. …

A Hybrid Observer For High Performance Brushless Dc Motor Drives, Keith Corzine, S. D. Sudhoff
Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works
Brushless DC motor drive systems are used in a wide variety of applications. These drives may be classified as being one of two types: sinusoidal drives in which there are no low-frequency harmonics in the current waveforms and no low-frequency torque ripple; and nonsinusoidal drives in which there is considerable low-frequency harmonic content, both in the current and torque waveforms. Although sinusoidal drives feature superior performance, they are generally more expensive since rotor position must be sensed on a continuous basis, thus requiring an optical encoder or a resolver, whereas relatively inexpensive Hall-effect sensors may be used for nonsinusoidal drives. …

The problem in modeling large systems by artificial neural networks (ANN) is that the size of the input vector can become excessively large. This condition can potentially increase the likelihood of convergence problems for the training algorithm adopted. Besides, the memory requirement and the processing time also increase. This paper addresses the issue of ANN input dimension reduction. Two different methods are discussed and compared for efficiency and accuracy when applied to transient stability assessment.

Transient And Dynamic Average-Value Modeling Of Synchronous Machine Fed Load-Commutated Converters, Keith Corzine, S. D. Sudhoff, H. J. Hegner, D. E. Delisle
Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works
A new average-value model of a synchronous machine fed load-commutated converter is set forth in which the stator dynamics are combined with the DC link dynamics. This model is shown to he extremely accurate in predicting system transients and in predicting frequency-domain characteristics such as the impedance looking into the synchronous machine fed load-commutated converter. The model is verified against a detailed computer simulation and against a hardware test system, thus providing a three-way comparison. The proposed model is shown to be much more accurate than models in which the stator dynamics are neglected

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works
Investigation of non-linear stable effects taking place at ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) in monocrystal arbitrarily oriented hexagonal ferrite resonators (HFR) with controlled (modulated) resonance frequency is an urgent problem. The presented analysis is based on two approaches: the “quasistatic” approach using the static tensor of the HFR magnetic susceptibility and the “dynamic” one based on the solution of the magnetization vector motion equation (MVME) with varying time coefficients due to modulated magnetization field or HFR angle of orientation. The first approach is valid at low modulation frequencies (in comparison with the relaxation frequency of the HFR) and the second one can …

Analysis Of A Single-Phase Induction Machine With A Shifted Auxiliary Winding, T. A. Walls, Scott D. Sudhoff
Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works
This paper extents the method of multiple reference frames to the analysis of asymmetrical induction motors with non-orthogonal stator windings, with particular emphasis on the permanent split capacitor (PSC) machine. The predictions of the method are verified by comparison to both experimental results and to results obtained using a machine variable computer simulation. Once verified, the method is used to derive the transfer function relating rotor speed to load torque disturbance, which is of particular interest when analyzing PSC machines driving compressor loads. It is shown that the transfer function exhibits a distinct resonant point, and that the magnitude of …
An Experimentally Obtainable Heat Source Due To Absorption Of Ultrasound In Biological Media, James L. Drewniak, F. Dunn
An Experimentally Obtainable Heat Source Due To Absorption Of Ultrasound In Biological Media, James L. Drewniak, F. Dunn
Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works
Deposition of heat as a result of loss in an ultrasonic wave may result in damage to biological tissues. The extensive use of ultrasound for diagnostic purposes during pregnancy necessitates the evaluation of thermal risk to a developing fetus during routine clinical exposures. Because of the small ultrasonic absorption coefficient in soft tissues at low megahertz frequencies, temperature elevations exceeding 1 °C are not expected from clinically employed ultrasound systems, and there is no evidence that such small temperature increases can result in deleterious effects. However, when the propagation path includes bone, which is known to be highly lossy, theoretical …
Two Methods Of Neural Network Controlled Dynamic Channel Allocation For Mobile Radio Systems, Kelvin T. Erickson, Edward J. Wilmes
Two Methods Of Neural Network Controlled Dynamic Channel Allocation For Mobile Radio Systems, Kelvin T. Erickson, Edward J. Wilmes
Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works
Two methods of dynamic channel allocation using neural networks are investigated. Both methods continuously optimize the mobile network based on changes in calling traffic. The first method uses backpropagation model predictions to aid the channel allocator. Each cell contains a backpropagation model which provides the channel allocator a call traffic prediction allowing the channel allocator to effectively optimize the network. The second method uses the same backpropagation models along with actor-critic models to perform the channel allocation. The actor-critics learn to model traffic activity between adjacent cells in real-time, and thereby learn to allocate channels dynamically between cells. The learning …

Security-Constrained Optimal Rescheduling Of Real Power Using Hopfield Neural Network, S. Ghosh, Badrul H. Chowdhury
Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works
A new method for security-constrained corrective rescheduling of real power using the Hopfield neural network is presented. The proposed method is based on solution of a set of differential equations obtained from transformation of an energy function. Results from this work are compared with the results from a method based on dual linear programming formulation of the optimal corrective rescheduling. The minimum deviations in real power generations and loads at buses are combined to form the objective function for optimization. Inclusion of inequality constraints on active line flow limits and equality constraint on real power generation load balance assures a …

Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works
The application of open-ended coaxial sensors for dielectric measurement of finite thickness composite sheets is studied. Expressions for calculation of the complex aperture admittance for two geometries are presented. These expressions are used to calculate the dielectric constant of infinite half-space as well as finite thickness slabs. A more efficient method of such calculations, using a personal computer, for low to medium loss dielectrics is demonstrated. The question of when a dielectric layer may be considered as infinitely thick is also addressed, and examples are presented. A different calibration technique (compared to the conventional ones) is described and successfully implemented. …
The Effect Of Excitation Limits On Voltage Stability, Jyothi Ayyagari, Mariesa Crow
The Effect Of Excitation Limits On Voltage Stability, Jyothi Ayyagari, Mariesa Crow
Electrical and Computer Engineering Faculty Research & Creative Works
Voltage collapse has been commonly associated with insufficient reactive power support. Steady state studies have related reactive power generation limitations to the sudden onset of voltage instability. This paper extends this approach to the dynamic case. The relationship between the dynamic models and steady state behavior is established. The dynamic model is then used to investigate the sudden change in system stability when the maximum excitation limit is reached. Several illustrative examples are analyzed. Corrective actions are proposed which will move the physical system away from the region of instability.
