So far there are many versions of the statements and proofs on the theorem. However, there exist some limitations and lack of strictness in these versions, for instance, the discussion of the uniqueness of solution without considering the existence of solution and the lack of strictness in the case of loss-less medium. In contrast with the traditional statements and proofs, this paper introduces some important conclusions on operator equation from modern theory of partial differential equation (PDE) and attempts to solve the problems on the existence and uniqueness of the solution to operator equation which is derived from Maxwell’s equations of time-harmonic electromagnetic fields. This method provides a novel and rigorous approach to discuss and solve the existence and uniqueness of the solution to time- harmonic fields in the new mathematical framework. Some important conclusions are presented.展开更多

文摘This paper introduces a novel method for fast calculating the electromagnetic forces in interior permanent magnet synchronous machines(IPMSMs)under pulse width modulation(PWM)voltage source inverter(VSI)supply based on the small-signal time-harmonic finite element analysis(THFEA),which has been successfully utilized for fast calculating the PWMinduced losses in silicon steel sheets and permanent magnets.Based on the small-signal THFEA,the functional relationships between high-frequency harmonic voltages(HFHVs)and corresponding airgap flux densities are established,which are used for calculating the flux density spectra caused by each HFHV in the PWM voltage spectra.Then,the superposition principle is applied for calculating the flux density spectra caused by fundamental currents and all HFHVs,which are converted to the electromagnetic force spectra at last.The relative errors between the force density spectra calculated with the proposed method and those obtained from traditional time-stepping finite element analysis(TSFEA)using PWM voltages as input are within 3.1%,while the proposed method is 24 times faster than the traditional TSFEA.

文摘Magneto-electro-elastic(MEE)materials are a specific class of advanced smart materials that simultaneouslymanifest the coupling behavior under electric,magnetic,and mechanical loads.This unique combination ofproperties allows MEE materials to respond to mechanical,electric,and magnetic stimuli,making them versatile forvarious applications.This paper investigates the static and time-harmonic field solutions induced by the surface loadin a three-dimensional(3D)multilayered transversally isotropic(TI)linear MEE layered solid.Green’s functionscorresponding to the applied uniform load(in both horizontal and vertical directions)are derived using the Fourier-Bessel series(FBS)system of vector functions.By virtue of this FBS method,two sets of first-order ordinarydifferential equations(i.e.,N-type and LM-type)are obtained,with the expansion coefficients being Love numbers.It is noted that the LM-type system corresponds to the MEE-coupled P-,SV-,and Rayleigh waves,while the N-typecorresponds to the purely elastic SH-and Love waves.By applying the continuity conditions across interfaces,the solutions for each layer of the structure(from the bottom to the top)are derived using the dual-variable andposition(DVP)method.This method(i.e.,DVP)is unconditionally stable when propagating solutions throughdifferent layers.Numerical examples illustrate the impact of load types,layering,and frequency on the response ofthe structure,as well as the accuracy and convergence of the proposed approach.The numerical results are usefulin designing smart devices made of MEE solids,which are applicable to engineering fields like renewable energy.
文摘The uniqueness theorem of time-harmonic electromagnetic fields, which is the theoretical basis of boundary value problem (BVP) of electromagnetic fields, is reviewed. So far there are many versions of the statements and proofs on the theorem. However, there exist some limitations and lack of strictness in these versions, for instance, the discussion of the uniqueness of solution without considering the existence of solution and the lack of strictness in the case of loss-less medium. In contrast with the traditional statements and proofs, this paper introduces some important conclusions on operator equation from modern theory of partial differential equation (PDE) and attempts to solve the problems on the existence and uniqueness of the solution to operator equation which is derived from Maxwell’s equations of time-harmonic electromagnetic fields. This method provides a novel and rigorous approach to discuss and solve the existence and uniqueness of the solution to time- harmonic fields in the new mathematical framework. Some important conclusions are presented.

文摘A time-harmonic equivalent current dipole model is proposed to simulate EEG source which deals with the problem concerning the capacitance effect. The expressions of potentials in both homogeneous infinite dielectric medium and dielectric sphere on the electroquasistatic condition are presented. The potential in a 3-layer inhomogeneous spherical head is computed by using this model. The influences on potential produced by time-harmonic character and permittivity are discussed. The results show that potentials in dielectric sphere are affected by frequency and permittivity.

文摘The Orlicz Minkowski problem for logarithmic capacity seeks to determine the necessary and sufficient conditions for a given finite Borel measure,such that it is the Orlicz logarithmic capacitary measure of a convex body.The Orlicz Minkowski problem for loga-rithmic capacity includes the Minkowski problem for logarithmic capacity and the Lp Minkowski problem for logarithmic capacity as special cases.The discrete case has been solved by the researchers.In this paper,we solve the Orlicz Minkowski problem for logarithmic capacity with respect to general Borel measures by applying an approximation scheme.

文摘Background:Parenting exerts a profound influence on children’s mental health and behavioral development.Despite the high prevalence of children’s emotional and behavioral problems(CEBP)in China,evidence-based parenting interventions remain scarcely investigated as preventive public health strategies.This pilot study evaluated a school-based intervention for preventing CEBP.Methods:We employed a quasi-experimental design with propensity score matching(PSM)to select 28 families(intervention:n=13;control:n=15)from two matched urban primary schools.Quantitative data from seven validated scales were analyzed using t-tests and ANCOVA.Qualitative insights were derived from 10 semi-structured interviews via thematic analysis.Results:Compared to the control group,the intervention group demonstrated significantly greater improvements in CEBP(p=0.020,Cohen’s d=0.92),parental adjustment(p=0.031,Cohen’s d=0.80),parenting confidence(p=0.003,Cohen’s d=1.04),and parentchild relationships(p=0.001,Cohen’s d=1.46).Non-significant effects were observed for parenting style,parental relationship,and parenting conflict(p>0.05).Qualitative analysis corroborated these findings and further identified contributing factors for non-significant outcomes,including challengeswithmeasurement adaptability and inconsistent co-parenting practices.Conclusions:This pilot study suggests that an authoritative parenting style may be effective and culturally adaptable in China.Positive parenting interventions appear to mitigate CEBP by reducing risk factors and enhancing protective factors.However,improving parental relationships and parenting conflict may require targeted strategies.Given the pilot nature of this PSM-matched study(n=28),the findings should be interpreted as exploratory and used primarily for intervention refinement.
