Abstract The voltage source converter based high voltage direct current (VSC-HVDC) system is based on voltage source converter, and its control system is more complex. Also affected by the fast control of power electronics, oscillation phenomenon in wide frequency domain may occur. To address the problem of small signal stability of the VSC-HVDC system, a converter control strategy is designed to improve its small signal stability, and the risk of system oscillation is reduced by attaching a damping controller and optimizing the control parameters. Based on the modeling of the VSC-HVDC system, the general architecture of the inner and outer loop… More >

Abstract Manufacturing defects in the membrane of MEMS (Micro-Electro-Mechanical-Systems) structures have a significant effect on the sensitivity and working range of the device. Thus, in optimizing the design of MEMS devices, it is essential that the effects of membrane defects (e.g., cracks) can be predicted in advance. Accordingly, this study proposes the detailed two-dimensional Infinite Element Method (IEM) formulation with Infinite Element (IE)-Finite Element (FE) coupling scheme for analyzing the out-of-plane vibration of isotropic MEMS membranes containing one or more tip cracks. In the proposed approach, a degenerative computation scheme is used to condense the multiple element layers of the IEM… More >

Abstract A novel infinite element method (IEM) is presented for solving plate vibration problems in this paper. In the proposed IEM, the substructure domain is partitioned into multiple layers of geometrically similar finite elements which use only the data of the boundary nodes. A convergence criterion based on the trace of the mass matrix is used to determine the number of layers in the IE model partitioning process. Furthermore, in implementing the Craig-Bampton (CB) reduction method, the inversion of the global stiffness matrix is calculated using only the stiffness matrix of the first element layer. The validity and performance of the… More >

Abstract The set-based structural eigenvalue problem is defined, by expressing the uncertainties of the structural parameters in terms of various convex sets. A new method based on Kriging model and Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) is proposed for solving this problem. The introduction of the Kriging model into this approach can effectively reduce the computational burden especially for largescale structures. The solutions of the non-linear and non-monotonic problems are more accurate than those obtained by other methods in the literature with the PSO algorithm. The experimental points for Kriging model are sampled according to Latin hypercube sampling method. Two approaches of imposing… More >
