Quasi stationary magnetic field formulations are often coupled with lumped parameter models for the driving electrical system. The finite element discretization of such formulations yields linear systems with a large sparse coefficient matrix bordered by dense coupling blocks. The presence of these blocks prevents the straightforward application of black box algebraic multigrid solvers. We pres...

Multicomponent formulations coupled with complex processing conditions govern the final properties of photopolymerizable dental composites. In this study, a single test substrate was fabricated to support multiple formulations with a gradient in degree of conversion (DC), allowing the evaluation of multiple processing conditions and formulations on one specimen. Mechanical properties and damage...

PURPOSE Comparative evaluation of pharmaceutical characteristics of three marketed generic vs branded travoprost formulations. MATERIALS AND METHODS Three generic travoprost formulations and one branded (Travatan without benzalkonium chloride) formulation (10 vials each), obtained from authorized agents from the respective companies and having the same batch number, were used. These formulati...

In this study, we focus on the effects of fuel bed representation and fire heat smoke distribution in a coupled fire-atmosphere simulation platform for two landscape-scale fires: 2018 Camp Fire 2021 Caldor Fire. The WRF-Fire currently includes only surface fuels. Thus, enhance model by adding canopy characteristics release, which method to calculate generated from consumption is developed imple...

This study addresses recent developments on the evaluation of multimode coupled bridge response and modeling of equivalent static wind loading on bridges when subjected to strong winds. First, the coupled bridge flutter is studied with an emphasis placed on the participation of structural modes in flutter, not only based on their amplitudes in flutter motion, but more importantly, by delving in...

A coupled model based on finite element method (FEM) and scaled boundary finite element method (SBFEM) for transient dynamic response of large-scale SSI systems is presented. The wellestablished FEM is used for modeling the near-field bounded domains. A local high-order transmitting boundary, which is based on SBFEM and the improved continued fraction solution for the dynamic stiffness matrix, ...

This paper presents adaptive-control schemes that estimate load-model parameters and adaptively “tune” a digital controller for an inductively-coupled power delivery circuit. Estimation algorithms are presented that utilize specific recursive formulations, which provide adequate noise immunity in a powerelectronic environment. The techniques are demonstrated using a servomechanical system and a...
