In this part, an implicit time dependent solution is presented for the Boltzmann transport equation discretized by the analytic coarse mesh finite difference method (ACMFD) over the spatial domain as well as the simplified P₃ (SP₃) for the angular variable. In the first part of this work we proposed a SP₃-ACMFD approach to solve the static eigenvalue equations which provide the initial conditions for temp dependent equations. Having solved the 3D multi-group SP₃-ACMFD static equations, an implicit approach is resorted to ensure stability of time steps. An exponential behavior is assumed in transverse integrated equations to establish a relationship between flux moments and currents. Also, analytic integration is benefited for the time-dependent solution of precursor concentration equations. Finally, a multi-channel one-phase thermal hydraulic model is coupled to the proposed methodology. Transient equations are then solved at each step using the GMRES technique. To show the sufficiency of proposed transient SP₃-ACMFD approximation for a full core analysis, a comparison is made using transport peers as the reference. To further demonstrate superiority, results are compared with a 3D multi-group transient diffusion solver developed as a byproduct of this work. Outcomes confirm that the idea can be considered as an economic interim approach which is superior to the diffusion approximation, and comparable with transport in results.

The paper presents a novel approach of constructing the state matrix of the multi-machine power system for SSR (subsynchronous resonance) analysis using the linearized equations of individual devices including electrical transmission network dynamics. The machine models in the local d-q reference frame are integrated with the network models in the common R-I reference frame by simply transforming their output equations into the R-I frame where the transformed output is used as the input to the network dynamics or vice versa. The salient feature of the formulation is that it allows for modular construction of various component models without rearranging the overall state space formulation. This universal SSR small signal stability program provides a flexible tool for systematic analyses of SSR small-signal stability impacts of both conventional devices such as generation systems and novel devices such as power electronic apparatus and their controllers. The paper also presents its application results to IEEE benchmark models.

The dynamics of spindle-bearing-workpiece system significantly affects the cutting condition and stability in milling process. The present paper investigates the chatter stability of milling process due to the change in the dynamics of spindle-bearing-workpiece systems. In particular, the present paper focuses on chatter stability due to the presence of gyroscopic effect. An eigenvalue problem approach to the stability of milling process is extensively used in this paper. To incorporate the rotational speed dependent gyroscopic effect, an iterative algorithm is proposed. A numerical example is provided for examining the chatter stability problem in the presence of gyroscopic effects.

The main problems of computational complexity in object tracking are definition of objects, segmentations and identifications in non-structured environments with erratic movements and collisions of objects. The object's information as a region that corresponds to objects without discriminating among objects are considered. This paper describes the algorithm that, automatically and efficiently, recognizes and keeps tracks of interest-regions selected by users in video or camera image sequences. The block-based feature matching method is used for the region tracking. This matching process considers only dominant feature points such as corners and curved-edges without requiring a pre-defined model of objects. Experimental results show that the proposed method provides above 96% precision for correct region matching and real-time process even when the objects undergo scaling and 3-dimen-sional movements In successive image sequences.

A two-direction multiscaling function ${\phi}$ satisfies a recursion relation that uses scaled and translated versions of both itself and its reverse. This offers a more general and flexible setting than standard one-direction wavelet theory. In this paper, we investigate how to find and normalize point values and derivative values of two-direction multiscaling and multiwavelet functions. Determination of point values is based on the eigenvalue approach. Normalization is based on normalizing conditions for the continuous moments of ${\phi}$. Examples for illustrating the general theory are given.

Deregulations and market practices in power industry have brought great challenges to the system planning area. In particular, they introduce a variety of uncertainties to system planning. New techniques are required to cope with such uncertainties. As a promising approach, probabilistic methods are attracting more and more attentions by system planners. In small signal stability analysis, generation control parameters play an important role in determining the stability margin. The objective of this paper is to investigate power system state matrix sensitivity characteristics with respect to system parameter uncertainties with analytical and numerical approaches and to identify those parameters have great impact on system eigenvalues, therefore, the system stability properties. Those identified parameter variations need to be investigated with priority. The results can be used to help Regional Transmission Organizations (RTOs) and Independent System Operators (ISOs) perform planning studies under the open access environment.

This paper presents a method to identify the on-set of chatter by using the chatter frequency-spindle speed diagram for a milling spindle-workpiece system in face milling process. To this purpose, the eigenvalue problem approach using frequency response function is adopted for predicting both the chatter condition and chatter frequency. The chatter frequency -spindle speed diagram for various conditions is investigated throughout simulation and experiment to diagnose the chatter. The simulation and experimental results show that the chatter frequency-spindle speed diagram is useful for diagnosis of the on-set of chatter vibration.

An application of the perturbation method to optimum structural design with random parameters is presented. It is formulated on the basis of the first-order stochastic finite element perturbation method. It also takes into full account the stress, displacement and eigenvalue constraints, together with the rates of change of the random variables. A method for calculating the sensitivity coefficients in regard to the governing equation and the first-order perturbed equation has been derived, by using a direct differentiation approach. A gradient-based nonlinear programming technique is used to solve the problem. The numerical results are specifically noted, where the stiffness parameter and external load are treated as random variables.

In conventional small signal stability analysis, system is assumed to be invariant and the state space equations are used to calculate the eigenvalues of state matrix. However, when a system contains switching elements such as FACTS devices, it becomes non-continuous system. In this case, a mathematically rigorous approach to system small signal stability analysis is by means of eigenvalue analysis of the system periodic transition matrix based on discrete system analysis method. In this research, RCF(Resistive Companion Form) method is used to analyse small signal stability of a non-continuous system including switching elements'. Applying the RCF method to the differential and integral equations of power system, generator, controllers and FACTS devices including switching elements should be modeled in the form of state transition matrix. From this state transition matrix eigenvalues which are mapped to unit circle can be calculated.

An efficient adaptive nonlinear compensator, based on a wavelet transform domain adaptive Volterra filter along with a modified escalator algorithm, is proposed to speed up the convergence rate of an adaptive LMS algorithm. In particular, it is well known that the e.g., slow convergence speed of an adaptive LMS algorithm depends on the statistical characteristics (e.g., large eigenvalue spread) of the corresponding auto-correlation matrix of the input vector. To solve such a convergence problem, the proposed approach utilizes a modified escalator algorithm and a wavelet transform domain adaptive LMS Volterra filtering technique, which leads to diagonalization of the auto-correlation matrix of the ...
