This paper presents a method for estimating the transient stability status of the power system using radial basis function(RBF) neural network with a fast hybrid training approach. A normalized transient energy margin(${\Delta}V_n$) has been obtained by the potential energy boundary surface(PEBS) method along with a time-domain simulation technique, and is used as an output of the RBF neural network. The RBF neural network is then trained to map the operating conditions of the power system to the ${\Delta}V_n$, which provides a measure of the transient stability of the power system. The proposed approach has been successfully applied to the 10-machine 39-bus New England test system, and the results are given.

Conventional time-scale modification methods have the problem that as the modification rate gets higher the time-scale modified speech signal becomes less intelligible, because they ignore the effect of articulation rate on speech characteristics. Results of research on speech perception show that the timing information of transient portions of a speech signal plays an important role in discriminating among different speech sounds. Inspired by this fact, we propose a novel scheme for modifying the time-scale of speech. In the proposed scheme, the timing information of the transient portions of speech is preserved, while the steady portions of speech are compressed or expanded somewhat excessively for maintaining overall time-scale change. In order to identify the transient and steady portions of a speech signal, we employ a simple method using LPC cepstral distance between neighboring frames. The result of the subjective preference test indicates that the proposed method produces performance superior to that of the conventional SOLA method, especially for very fast playback case.

With ever-advancing computer technology, the Monte Carlo (MC) neutron transport calculation is expanding its application area to nuclear reactor transient analysis. Dynamic MC (DMC) neutron tracking for transient analysis requires efficient algorithms for delayed neutron generation, neutron population control, and initial condition modeling. In this paper, a new MC steady-state simulation method based on time-dependent MC neutron tracking is proposed for steady-state initial condition modeling; during this process, prompt neutron sources and delayed neutron precursors for the DMC transient simulation can easily be sampled. The DMC method, including the proposed time-dependent DMC steady-state simulation method, has been implemented in McCARD and applied for two-dimensional core kinetics problems in the time-dependent neutron transport benchmark C5G7-TD. The McCARD DMC calculation results show good agreement with results of a deterministic transport analysis code, nTRACER.

Thermal properties of geomaterial are overlooked with other geomechanical properties. The transient line-source (TLS) method is one of the most used testing methods for measuring the thermal conductivity (K) and thermal diffusivity ($\alpha$) of materials. But more recently, Transient Plane-Source method was developed to measure these. It has several advantage of comparing with TSL method, but there has not been documented application in geomaterial. A Resistance Temperature Detector is used to construct sensor. For durability of Probe, Adopt a new technique that two probes are bonded in exact matching. For standard materials, such as glycerin, and ice the measured K and a values of these materials were generally within 2-5% from the standard values in the literature. This document present to evaluate the thermal properties of geomaterials and its application was tested for varying degree of saturation using the Transient Plane Source method. The result of this study suggests that it is an comparatively accurate method for simultaneously measuring thermal conductivity and thermal diffusivity and can identify the feasibility to geomaterial.

The theoretical model for the transient probe method is the modified Jaeger model which is used perfect line source theory. The transient probe technique has been developed for the simultaneous determination of thermal conductivity, diffusivity and volumetric heat capacity of liquids. The Levenberg-Marquardt iteration method is adapted to obtain thermal property within nonlinear range. Experimental results of liquids were found to agree well with recommended thermal property data.

An experimental apparatus was developed for the rapid determination of thermal conductivity by transient probe method. The theoretical basis for transient probe method has been investigated. The mathematical model for this method is the Carslaw and Jaeger model which is used perfect line source theory. The small needle probe which is equipped with thermocouple and heating element is constructed. A software that performs data analysis and acquisition is programmed. The influence of the power dissipated per unit length of the probe has been assessed for glycerin. The result showed no significant correlation between thermal conductivity and power input. Determination made with this experimental apparatus were found to agree well with the recommended thermal conductivity data.

A simple method is presented for determining transient responses of locally nonlinear structures using substructure eigenproperties and Lagrange multiplier technique. Although the method is based upon the mode synthesis formulation procedure, the equations of the combined whole structure are not constructed compared with the conventional methods. Lagrange multi-pliers are used to enforce the conditions of geometric compatibility between the substructure interfaces and they are treated as external forces on each substructure itself. Substructure eigenvalue problem is defined with the substructure interface free of fixed. The transient analysis is based upon the recurrence discrete-time state equations and offers the simplicity of the Euler integration method without requiring small time increment and iterative solution procedure. Numerical examples reveal that the method is very accurated and efficient in calculating transient responses compared with the direct numerical integration method.

This paper explains hybrid method that combines Time domain simulation technique with the direct method of Transient stability analysis. First, it calculate trajectory of real system by Time domain Simulation using OOP(Object Oriented Programming method) and evaluate Transient Energy Function to induce stability index to calculate Transient stability margin. Once the status of system(stable or unstable) has been identified, proper criteria are proposed to stop time-domain simulation to reduce CPU time.

Based on a refined shear deformation finite strip, transient vibrations of graphene oxide powder (GOP) reinforced plates due to external pulse loads have been investigated. The plate has uniformly and linearly distributed GOPs inside material structure. Applied pulse loads have been selected as sinusoidal, linear and blast types. Such pulse loads result in transient vibrations of the GOP-reinforced plates which are not explored before. Finite strip method (FSM) has been performed for solving the equations of motion and then inverse Laplace transform technique has been employed to derive transient responses due to pulse loading. It is reported in this study that the transient responses of GOP-reinforced plates are dependent on GOP dispersions, GOP volume fraction, type of pulse loading, loading time and load locations.

This paper presents an analysis method of transient ground impedance using the lightning impulse and variable frequency currents. The transient ground impedance strongly depends on the configuration and size of grounding electrodes and the shapes of impulse currents, and the inductance of grounding electrodes has a significant affect on the transient impedance of the grounding system. There are some differences between the effective impulse ground impedance which was introduced some papers and the transient ground impedance. The transient ground impedance measured from the peak value of impulse voltage and the peak value of impulse current is more reliable than the effective impulse ground impedance.
