We study the statistical properties of the impedance matrix (related to the scattering matrix) describing the input-output properties of waves in cavities in which ray trajectories that are regular and chaotic coexist (i.e., "mixed" systems). The impedance can be written as a summation over eigenmodes where the eigenmodes can typically be classified as either regular or chaotic. By appropriate ...

harmonics have become an important issue in modern power systems. the widespread penetration of non-linear loads to emerging power systems has turned power quality analysis into an important operation issue under both steady state and transient conditions. this paper employs an extended harmonic domain (ehd) based framework for dynamic analysis of long term analysis over voltages during the tra...

The presence of small amounts of short conductive fibers in a composite of finite matrix conductivity results in the subdivision of the one matrix impedance arc into two separate low and high frequency arcs in the complex impedance plane. These features are attributable to a " frequency-switchable " interfacial impedance on the fiber surfaces, rendering them insulating at DC and low AC frequenc...

This paper addresses the problem of impedance control for flexible joint robots based on a singular perturbation approach. Some aspects of the impedance controller, which turned out to be of high practical relevance during applications are then addressed, such as the implementation of nullspace stiffness for redundant manipulators, the avoiding of mass matrix decoupling and the related design o...

The effective dielectric constants of a symmetric coupled microstrip line operating in the dominant mode are solved by using a closed-form formula of the asymptotic part of the impedance matrix elements. Using this asymptotic closedform solution, the finite upper limit for numerical integration in the evaluation of the impedance matrix elements is significantly reduced. This results in improved...

We present a formulation of the determination of the impedance between any two nodes in an impedance network. An impedance network is described by its Laplacian matrix L which has generally complex matrix elements. We show that by solving the equation Luα = λα u ∗ α with orthonormal vectors ua, the effective impedance between nodes p and q of the network is Zpq = ∑ α(uαp − uα q)/λα where the su...

The paper describes a fast and simple method to find the deviation of impedance of different tissues from the average values known from the literature. A technique similar to the Electrical Impedance Tomography is used assuming the geometry of organs to be known. To find the individual impedance deviations, we assume that the change of the surface potentials depends linearly on a small (up to 1...

Impedance matrices are obtained for radially inhomogeneous structures using the Stroh-like system of six first-order differential equations for the time-harmonic displacement-traction 6-vector. Particular attention is paid to the newly identified solid-cylinder impedance matrix Z(r) appropriate to cylinders with material at r = 0, and its limiting value at that point, the solid-cylinder impedan...
