We investigate the dynamics of solitons of the cubic nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NLSE) with the following perturbations: nonparametric spatiotemporal driving of the form f(x,t)=a exp[iK(t)x], damping, and a linear term which serves to stabilize the driven soliton. Using the time evolution of norm, momentum and energy, or, alternatively, a Lagrangian approach, we develop a collective-coordin...

in this paper, a novel compensator based on magnetically controlled reactor with fixed capacitor banks (fc-mcr) is introduced and then power system stability in presence of this compensator is studied using an intelligent control method. the problem of robust fc-mcr-based damping controller design is formulated as a multi-objective optimization problem. the multi-objective problem is concocted ...

The Gilbert damping of ferromagnetic materials is arguably the most important but least understood phenomenological parameter that dictates real-time magnetization dynamics. Understanding the physical origin of the Gilbert damping is highly relevant to developing future fast switching spintronics devices such as magnetic sensors and magnetic random access memory. Here, we report an experimental...

In the present paper the behavior of an elastically mounted cylinder in low and high mass-damping ratio is investigated. For high mass-damping ratio, a classical wake oscillator model is used. At the first, by neglecting all damping and nonlinear terms of this model, the possibility of using a linear model for determination of the lock-in range and the dominant mode is investigated. Then, w...

Different expressions have been developed to determine damping of structures based on various hysteretic models and ductility levels. Since Slenderness ratio is an important parameter on the hysteretic behavior of special concentrically- braced frames (SCBF), in this paper new expressions for determination of damping of such frames are developed based on slenderness ratio and ductility. Two typ...

A comprehensive approach to the design of UPFC controllers (power-flow controller, DC-voltage regulator and damping controller) is presented. Studies reveal that damping is adversely affected by the incorporation of a DC-voltage regulator. Investigations were carried out to understand the relative effectiveness of modulation of thc UPFC control signals inR, SB, niE and <5£ on damping of the sys...

Nowadays it is commonly considered that high damping materials which have both the good mechanical properties as structural materials and the high damping capacity for vibration damping are the most direct vibration damping solution. In metals and alloys however, exhibiting simultaneously high damping capacity and good mechanical properties has been noted to be normally incompatible because the...

The paper deals with analysis of loading conditions on damping torque coefficient and synchronizing coefficient in SMIB system and design of Delta-Omega type of damping controller for damping of power oscillations in the system. Effect of variation of loading on synchronizing torque and damping torque coefficients has been investigated in detail. A new design approach for optimizing the paramet...

A new compact model of squeeze-film damping is developed based on the numerical solution of the Boltzmann kinetic equation. It provides a simple expression for the damping coefficient and the quality factor valid through the slip, transitional and free-molecular regimes. In this work, we have applied statistical analysis to the current model using the chi-squared test. The damping predictions a...
