The non-Fourier effect in heat conduction is important in strong thermal environments and thermal shock problems. Generally, commercial FE codes are not available for analysis of non-Fourier heat conduction. In this study, a meshless formulation is presented for the analysis of the non-Fourier heat conduction in the materials. The formulation is based on the symmetric local weak form of the sec...

This paper is concerned with the approach to teaching an introductory course on Fourier theory for engineers. Commonly called Signals and Systems (or some variation), this course generally introduces four transforms: the Fourier Transform, the Fourier Series, the Discrete-Time Fourier Transform (DTFT), and the Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT). Our concern is that the method and order of topic p...

The Fourier Series (FS) and the Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) should be thought of as playing similar roles for periodic signals in either continuous time (FS) or discrete time (DFT). Both analyze signals into amplitude, phases, and frequencies of complex exponentials; both synthesize signals by linearly combining complex exponentials with appropriate amplitude, phase, and frequency. Finally...

--The fractional fourier transform(FRFT) which is a generalisation of classical fourier transform, was introduced number of years ago in the mathematics literature but appears to have remained largely unknown to a signal processing community to which it may, however, be a potentially useful. The fractional fourier transform depends on a parameter ‘α’ and can be interpreted as a rotation by an a...
