Previous issue date: 2014-12-11 / It is known that the need for devices with higher processing capacities and low power consumption is increasing, making algorithm optimization necessary to allow the maximum utilization of the application s resources. In this work, the Matrix Method was implemented in embedded systems to solve Fuzzy calculations, allowing the decision-making process to be included in several applications. Code was developed for Scilab, Arduino, and the embedded Linux distribution OpenWRT, being tested in real devices through the comparison with the original Matrix Method algorithm implementation and the case study of the MAC anomaly in IEEE 802.11 networks. Results show that the Matrix Method is compatible for use in embedded systems, and the analysis and specific configuration of each application are necessary for the best performance to be achieved. Conclusion shows that the balance between the decision-making and the result precision is essential to lower resource consumption to the maximum. It is expected that other studies make use of the created algorithms, assisting the decision-making process in embedded systems for the countless emerging applications. / Com a crescente necessidade de dispositivos com maior capacidade de processamento e menor consumo energ?tico faz-se necess?rio o uso de algoritmos otimizados, permitindo o m?ximo aproveitamento dos recursos dispon?veis na aplica??o.

Simulation of groundwater flow by the analytic element method / Simulação do escoamento de água subterrânea pelo método de elemento analíticoHussain, Sardar Muhammad 28 September 2017 (has links)
Groundwater studies face computational limitations when providing local detail within regional models. The researchers are concentrated on applying the numerical models to minimize the difference between the physical reality and the implemented numerical model by considering the minimum computational cost. This work consists of the study of line-elements (such as line-doublets, circles, polygons, fractures) using the Analytic Element Method (AEM) for groundwater flow. In this work, we consider the study of two-dimensional groundwater flow in fractured porous media by the Analytic Element Method. We develop a numerical solution based on a series expansion for a problem with more than one fracture. Each fracture has an influence that can be expanded in a series that satisfies Laplaces equation exactly. In the series expansion, the unknown coefficients are obtained from the discharge potentials of all other elements that are related to the expansion coefficients. Sizes, locations and conductivities for all inhomogeneities are selected arbitrarily. This work also discusses a matrix method obtained by imposing the intern boundary conditions for the Analytic Element Method. The convergence analysis of a Gauss-Seidel type iterative method is also discussed. / Estudos de águas subterrâneas enfrentam limitações computacionais ao fornecer detalhes locais em modelos regionais. Os pesquisadores estão concentrados na aplicação dos modelos numéricos para minimizar a diferença entre a realidade física e o modelo numérico implementado considerando o custo computacional mínimo. Este trabalho consiste no estudo de elementos de linha (como line-doublets, círculos, polígonos, fraturas) usando o Método de Elemento Analítico (AEM) para o fluxo de águas subterrâneas. Neste trabalho, consideramos o estudo do fluxo bidimensional de águas subterrâneas em meios porosos fraturados pelo Método dos Elementos Analíticos. Desenvolvemos uma solução numérica baseada em uma expansão em série para um problema com mais de uma fratura. Cada fratura tem uma influência que pode ser expandida em uma série que satisfaça exatamente a equação de Laplace. Na expansão da série, os coeficientes desconhecidos são obtidos a partir dos potenciais de descarga de todos os outros elementos que estão relacionados aos coeficientes de expansão. Tamanhos, locais e condutividades para todas as não-homogeneidades são arbitrariamente selecionados. Este trabalho também discute o método da matriz obtido impondo as condições de contorno do interno para o Método do Elemento Analítico. A análise de convergência de um método iterativo tipo Gauss-Seidel também é discutida.

Flow Acoustic Analysis Of Complex Muffler ConfigurationsVijaya Sree, N K 07 1900 (has links) (PDF)
A theoretical study has been carried out on different methods available to analyze complex mufflers. Segmentation methods have been discussed in detail. The latest two port segmentation method has been discussed and employed for a few common muffler configurations, describing its implications and limitations.
A new transfer matrix based method has been developed in view of the lacunae of the available approaches. This Integrated Transfer Matrix (ITM) method has been developed particularly to analyze complex mufflers. An Integrated transfer matrix relates the state variables across the entire cross-section of the muffler shell, as one moves along the axis of the muffler, and can be partitioned appropriately in order to relate the state variables of different tubes constituting the cross-section. The method presents a 1-D approach, using transfer matrices of simple acoustic elements which are available in the literature. Results from the present approach have been validated through comparisons with the available experimental and three dimensional FEM based results.
The total pressure drop across perforated muffler elements has been measured experimentally and generalized expressions have been developed for the pressure loss across cross-flow expansion, cross-flow contraction elements, etc. These have then been used to derive empirical expressions for flow-acoustic resistance for use in the Integrated Transfer Matrix Method in order to predict the flow-acoustic performance of commercial mufflers.
A flow resistance model has been developed to analytically determine the flow distribution and thereby pressure drop of mufflers. Generalized expressions for resistance across the perforated elements have been derived by means of flow experiments as mentioned above. The derived expressions have been implemented in a flow resistance network that has been developed to determine the pressure drop across any given complex muffler. The results have been validated with experimental data.

Time Domain Scattering From Single And Multiple ObjectsAzizoglu, Suha Alp 01 June 2008 (has links) (PDF)
The importance of the T-matrix method is well-known when frequency domain scattering problems are of interest. With the relatively recent and wide-spread interest in time domain scattering problems, similar applications of the T-matrix method are expected to be useful in the time domain. In this thesis, the time domain spherical scalar wave functions are introduced, translational addition theorems for the time domain spherical scalar wave functions necessary for the solution of multiple scattering problems are given, and the formulation of time domain scattering of scalar waves by two spheres and by two scatterers of arbitrary shape is presented. The whole analysis is performed in the time domain requiring no inverse Fourier integrals to be evaluated. Scattering examples are studied in order to check the numerical accuracy, and demonstrate the utility of the expressions.

Dynamic Responses of a Cam System by Using the Transfer Matrix MethodYen, Chia-tse 27 July 2009 (has links)
The validity of transfer matrix method (TMM) employed in a nonlinear gear cam system is studied in this thesis. The nonlinear dynamic responses of each part in the nonlinear system are estimated by applying the 4th-order Runge-Kutta method. A high speed gear cam drive automatic die cutter was analyzed in this study. A 25 horsepower AC induction motor is designed to drive the system. To complete the cutting work, a sequential process of the harmonic motion and the intermittent motion are generated by the elbow mechanism and the gear cam mechanism, respectively. A simplified branched multi-rotor system is modeled to approximate the motion of the system. The variation of the dynamic parameters of the system in a loading cycle is estimated under a branched torsional system. The Holzer¡¦s transfer matrix method is used to study the variation of the system parameters during the intermittent movement. Moreover, the effect of time-varied speed introduced from the torque variation of the induction motor and gear cam mechanism on the nonlinear dynamic response of the system has also been investigated. To explore the dynamic effect of different cam designs, three different cam motion curves and seven operating rates have been analyzed in this work. The residual vibration of the last sprocket has also been discussed. Numerical results indicate that the proposed model is available to simulate the dynamic responses of a nonlinear gear cam drive system.

The Use of Press Archives in the Temporal and Spatial Analysis of Rainfall-Induced Landslides in Tegucigalpa, Honduras, 1980-2005Garcia-Urquia, Elias January 2015 (has links)
The scarcity of data poses a challenging obstacle for the study of natural disasters, especially in developing countries where the social vulnerability plays as important a role as the physical vulnerability. The work presented in this thesis is oriented towards the demonstration of the usefulness of press archives as a data source for the temporal and spatial analysis of landslides in Tegucigalpa, Honduras for the period between 1980 and 2005. In the last four decades, Tegucigalpa has been characterized by a disorganized urban growth that has significantly contributed to the destabilization of the city’s slopes. In the first part of the thesis, a description of the database compilation procedure is provided. The limitations of using data derived from press archives have also been addressed to indicate how these affect the subsequent landslide analyses. In the second part, the temporal richness offered by press archives has allowed the establishment of rainfall thresholds for landslide occurrence. Through the use of the critical rainfall intensity method, the analysis of rainfall thresholds for 7, 15, 30 and 60 antecedent days shows that the number of yielded false alarms increases with the threshold duration. A new method based on the rainfall frequency contour lines was proposed to improve the distinction between days with and without landslides. This method also offers the possibility to identify the landslides that may only occur with a major contribution of anthropogenic disturbances as well as those landslides induced by high-magnitude rainfall events. In the third part, the matrix method has been employed to construct two landslide susceptibility maps: one based on the multi-temporal press-based landslide inventory and a second one based on the landslide inventory derived from an aerial photograph interpretation carried out in 2014. Despite the low spatial accuracy provided by the press archives in locating the landslides, both maps exhibit 69% of consistency in the susceptibility classes and a good agreement in the areas with the highest propensity to landslides. Finally, the integration of these studies with major actions required to improve the process of landslide data collection is proposed to prepare Tegucigalpa for future landslides.

Previous issue date: 2016-10-31 / Não recebi financiamento / In this Thesis we propose to describe the thermodynamical properties of dimer chains
in a one-dimensional lattice rstly considering q-states of chain orientation in the lattice
and secondly by a three states model where the chain orientation is associated with a
energy " > 0 or " = 0. For this reason we describe our system by a microcanonical
ensemble to get the canonical partition function and through this function obtain the
Helmholtz free energy, the entropy, internal energy and pressure. We solved also the
problem by adopting the grand canonical ensemble using the transfer matrix method and
we get in the thermodynamical limit the equivalence between both ensembles. However
the analysis of the thermodynamic properties for systems with nite size is quite relevant
since for these nite systems can be found a inequivalence of ensembles. Thereby we performed
a detailed study of the Statistical Mechanics for nite particles systems verifying
the equivalence o ensembles. / O presente trabalho tem por finalidade descrever as propriedades termodinâmicas de
cadeias de dímeros em uma rede unidimensional, inicialmente considerando q-estados de
orientações das cadeias na rede, e posteriormente um modelo de 3 estados, onde orientação
da cadeia está associada a uma energia " > 0 ou " = 0. Para isso, consideramos o problema
de um ponto de vista combinatório, no ensemble microcanônico, de maneira a obter sua
função de partição canônica e através dela encontrarmos as grandezas termodinâmicas de
interesse, tais como a energia livre de Helmholtz, entropia, energia interna, pressão, por
exemplo. Posteriormente, resolvemos o problema no ensemble grande canôncio usando a
técnica de matriz de transferência, obtendo assim, no limite termodinâmico a equivalência
entre os ensembles. Entretanto, têm-se tornado cada vez mais importante e frequente,
o estudo termodinâmico de sistemas “pequenos", onde nestes casos pode haver a inequivalência entre as grandezas físicas obtidas nos ensembles. Desse modo, realizamos um estudo detalhado do que acontece ao aplicarmos ferramentas da mecânica estatística a sistemas com poucas partículas, verificando se os diferentes ensembles estatísticos estudados
neste trabalho ainda levam aos mesmos resultados.
