THE APPLICATION OF DISCONTINUOUS GALKERIN FINITE ELEMENT TIME-DOMAIN METHOD IN THE DESIGN, SIMULATION AND ANALYSIS OF MODERN RADIO FREQUENCY SYSTEMS
The discontinuous Galerkin finite element time-domain (DGFETD) method has been successfully applied to the solution of the coupled curl Maxwell’s equations. In this dissertation, important extensions to the DGFETD method are provided, including the ability to model lumped circuit elements and the ability to model thin-wire structures within a discrete DGFETD solution. To this end, a hybrid DGFETD/SPICE formulation is proposed for high-frequency circuit simulation, and a hybrid DGFETD/Thin-wire formulation is proposed for modeling thin-wire structures within a three-dimensional problem space. To aid in the efficient modeling of open-region structures, a Complex Frequency Shifted-Perfectly Matched Layer (CFS-PML) absorbing medium is applied to the DGFETD method for the first time. An efficient CFS-PML method that reduces the computational complexity and improves accuracy as compared to previous PML formulations is proposed. The methods have been successfully implemented, and a number of test cases are provided that validate the proposed methods. The proposed hybrid formulations and the new CFS-PML formulation dramatically enhances the ability of the DGFETD method to be efficiently applied to simulate complex, state of the art radio frequency systems

HPCCP/CAS Workshop Proceedings 1998
This publication is a collection of extended abstracts of presentations given at the HPCCP/CAS (High Performance Computing and Communications Program/Computational Aerosciences Project) Workshop held on August 24-26, 1998, at NASA Ames Research Center, Moffett Field, California. The objective of the Workshop was to bring together the aerospace high performance computing community, consisting of airframe and propulsion companies, independent software vendors, university researchers, and government scientists and engineers. The Workshop was sponsored by the HPCCP Office at NASA Ames Research Center. The Workshop consisted of over 40 presentations, including an overview of NASA's High Performance Computing and Communications Program and the Computational Aerosciences Project; ten sessions of papers representative of the high performance computing research conducted within the Program by the aerospace industry, academia, NASA, and other government laboratories; two panel sessions; and a special presentation by Mr. James Bailey
Generalized averaged Gaussian quadrature and applications
A simple numerical method for constructing the optimal generalized averaged Gaussian quadrature formulas will be presented. These formulas exist in many cases in which real positive GaussKronrod formulas do not exist, and can be used as an adequate alternative in order to estimate the error of a Gaussian rule. We also investigate the conditions under which the optimal averaged Gaussian quadrature formulas and their truncated variants are internal
MS FT-2-2 7 Orthogonal polynomials and quadrature: Theory, computation, and applications
Quadrature rules find many applications in science and engineering. Their analysis is a classical area of applied mathematics and continues to attract considerable attention. This seminar brings together speakers with expertise in a large variety of quadrature rules. It is the aim of the seminar to provide an overview of recent developments in the analysis of quadrature rules. The computation of error estimates and novel applications also are described
New advances in vehicular technology and automotive engineering
An automobile was seen as a simple accessory of luxury in the early years of the past
century. Therefore, it was an expensive asset which none of the common citizen could
afford. It was necessary to pass a long period and waiting for Henry Ford to establish
the first plants with the series fabrication. This new industrial paradigm makes easy to
the common American to acquire an automobile, either for running away or for
working purposes. Since that date, the automotive research grown exponentially to the
levels observed in the actuality. Now, the automobiles are indispensable goods; saying
with other words, the automobile is a first necessity article in a wide number of
aspects of living: for workers to allow them to move from their homes into their
workplaces, for transportation of students, for allowing the domestic women in their
home tasks, for ambulances to carry people with decease to the hospitals, for
transportation of materials, and so on, the list don’t ends. The new goal pursued by the
automotive industry is to provide electric vehicles at low cost and with high reliability.
This commitment is justified by the oil’s peak extraction on 50s of this century and also
by the necessity to reduce the emissions of CO2 to the atmosphere, as well as to reduce
the needs of this even more valuable natural resource. In order to achieve this task and
to improve the regular cars based on oil, the automotive industry is even more
concerned on doing applied research on technology and on fundamental research of
new materials. The most important idea to retain from the previous introduction is to
clarify the minds of the potential readers for the direct and indirect penetration of the
vehicles and the vehicular industry in the today’s life. In this sequence of ideas, this
book tries not only to fill a gap by presenting fresh subjects related to the vehicular
technology and to the automotive engineering but to provide guidelines for future
research.
This book account with valuable contributions from worldwide experts of
automotive’s field. The amount and type of contributions were judiciously selected to
cover a broad range of research. The reader can found the most recent and
cutting-edge sources of information divided in four major groups: electronics (power,
communications, optics, batteries, alternators and sensors), mechanics (suspension
control, torque converters, deformation analysis, structural monitoring), materials (nanotechnology, nanocomposites, lubrificants, biodegradable, composites, structural
monitoring) and manufacturing (supply chains).
We are sure that you will enjoy this book and will profit with the technical and
scientific contents. To finish, we are thankful to all of those who contributed to this
book and who made it possible.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

Fiscal Year 1995
The mission of the Engineering Research, Development, and Technology Program at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) is to develop the knowledge base, process technologies, specialized equipment, tools and facilities to support current and future LLNL programs. Engineering`s efforts are guided by a strategy that results in dual benefit: first, in support of Department of Energy missions, such as national security through nuclear deterrence; and second, in enhancing the nation`s economic competitiveness through their collaboration with US industry in pursuit of the most cost-effective engineering solutions to LLNL programs. To accomplish this mission, the Engineering Research, Development, and Technology Program has two important goals: (1) identify key technologies relevant to LLNL programs where they can establish unique competencies, and (2) conduct high-quality research and development to enhance their capabilities and establish themselves as the world leaders in these technologies. To focus Engineering`s efforts, technology thrust areas are identified and technical leaders are selected for each area. The thrust areas are comprised of integrated engineering activities, staffed by personnel from the nine electronics and mechanical engineering divisions, and from other LLNL organizations. This annual report, organized by thrust area, describes Engineering`s activities for fiscal year 1995. The report provides timely summaries of objectives methods, and key results from eight thrust areas: computational electronics and electromagnetics; computational mechanics; microtechnology; manufacturing technology; materials science and engineering; power conversion technologies; nondestructive evaluation; and information engineering
