This paper presents a new two-terminal numerical algorithm for fault location estimation using the synchronized phasor in time-domain. The proposed algorithm is also based on the synchronized voltage and current phasor measured from the PMUs(Phasor Measurement Units) installed at both ends of the transmission lines. In this paper the algorithm is given with-out shunt capacitance and with shunt capacitance using, Pi -model and estimated using DFT(Discrete Fourier Transform) and the LES(Least Error Squares Method). The algorithm uses a very short data window and classification for real-time transmission line protection. To test the validity, of the proposed algorithm, the Electro-Magnetic Transient Program(EMTP) and MATLAB is used.

The electromagnetic-thermal-mechanical process of electromagnetic forming (EMF) is a high velocity manufacturing technique that uses electromagnetic (Lorentz) body forces to shape sheet metal parts. One of the several advantages of this technique is the considerable ductility increase observed in several metals, particularly aluminum. In this research two important aspects of this process are addressed: the influence of the sheet metal's constitutive response on ductility and the consistent formulation of the fully coupled electromagnetic-mechanical problem. The first part of the work addresses the necking localization of a metal sheet during an electromagnetic process. A "weak band" model is used to predict the onset of necking of a thin sheet under plane stress and in-plane electric currents, an idealization of the local conditions in unconstrained electromagnetic loading. This work finds that EMF increases ductility over quasistatic techniques, due to the material's strain-rate sensitivity, and details how the material constitutive response and process characteristics affect ductility. The general theory is subsequently applied to freely expanding electromagnetically loaded aluminum tubes. Necking strains are measured in tubes of various geometries that are loaded by different forming coils and electric currents. The experimental results show reasonable agreement with the corresponding theoretical forming limit predictions, which indicate a two to three fold increase in the forming limits with respect to the quasistatic case. The second part of the work pertains to predictive modeling of EMF processes. Recent works do not consistently account for the coupling between electromagnetic fields and finite deformations. Typically, separate solutions to the electromagnetic and finite strain mechanical problems are combined in lock-step. The present work employs a fully coupled Lagrangian (reference configuration) least-action variational principle. This principle forms

Deep learning (DL) has become an integral part of solutions to various important problems, which is why ensuring the quality of DL systems is essential. One of the challenges of achieving reliability and robustness of DL software is to ensure that algorithm implementations are numerically stable. DL algorithms require a large amount and a wide variety of numerical computations. A naive implementation of numerical computation can lead to errors that may result in incorrect or inaccurate learning and results. A numerical algorithm or a mathematical formula can have several implementations that are mathematically equivalent, but have different numerical stability properties. Designing numerically stable algorithm implementations is challenging, because it requires an interdisciplinary knowledge of software engineering, DL, and numerical analysis. In this paper, we study two mature DL libraries PyTorch and Tensorflow with the goal of identifying unstable numerical methods and their solutions. Specifically, we investigate which DL algorithms are numerically unstable and conduct an in-depth analysis of the root cause, manifestation, and patches to numerical instabilities. Based on these findings, we launch DeepStability, the first database of numerical stability issues and solutions in DL. Our findings and DeepStability provide future references to developers and tool builders to prevent, detect, localize and fix numerically unstable algorithm implementations. To demonstrate that, using DeepStability we have located numerical stability issues in Tensorflow, and submitted a fix which has been accepted and merged in.

Most studies on the interaction between pantograph and overhead contact systems refer to the conventional catenary composed of contact and messenger wires and droppers, whereas the literature related to the interaction with rigid overhead conductor rails is limited. This paper presents an algorithm capable of simulating the interaction between a catenary represented as a Finite Element Model and a pantograph modeled as a multibody linkage. The algorithm will be proven to be accurate and efficient. The procedure has been used to simulate the interaction in different scenarios as a tool to optimize the design of the infrastructure as well as the configuration of the pantograph. The piece of software produced can consider interaction of one or two pantographs with one or two overhead lines in transition sections. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

The phenomena of the flow about an ogive-cylinder placed at incidence to an oncoming stream were numerically investigated for angles of attack of 60 and 80 deg. It was found that the flow around the cylindrical part of the body became unsteady, and vortex shedding was observed. For the 80-deg case, the corresponding Strouhal frequency was about 0.2, which is in agreement with the average value of the Strouhal frequency for flow around a two-dimensional cylinder. For both angles of attack, a small temporal disturbance of finite duration was sufficient to trigger the unsteadiness, which evolved to a finite amplitude fluctuation in the wake. Therefore, it seems possible that the origin of flow unsteadiness and vortex shedding in the wake is an absolute-type instability of the originally steady flow. When a permanent disturbance was also added near the tip of the body in the case of 60-deg angle of attack, a pair of steady, asymmetric vortices emerged from the vicinity of the body nose. These vortices could be the result of a convective-type instability of the originally symmetric now. It appears that both types of instability may coexist.

A new method is introduced for solving equality constrained nonlinear optimization problems. This method does not use a penalty function, nor a filter, and yet can be proved to be globally convergent to first-order stationary points. It uses different trust-regions to cope with the nonlinearities of the objective function and the constraints, and allows inexact SQP steps that do not lie exactly in the nullspace of the local Jacobian. Preliminary numerical experiments on CUTEr problems indicate that the method performs well.

This paper. deals with the influence of martensitic transformation latent heat on the superelastic behaviour modelling. Exothermic and endothermic effects are responsible for a strong evolution on the temperature field inside the material that modifies its mechanical response. This is responsible for a strain late effect that is taken into account by introducing a coupling equation between the production rate of martensite and the temperature change, into a micro macro modelling of the superthermoelastic behaviour with the assumption that the temperature field remains uniform but different to the test temperature imposed. numerical simulations so obtained show a good agreement with experimental results performed on Cu-based superelastic alloys.
