In this letter we propose an extension of the Dissipating Energy Flow (DEF) method for locating sources forced oscillations (FOs), based on energy function constructed by complex integral approach, which call Complex DEF (CDEF). To trace FO, study scalar projection CDEF in a specific direction plane. We show simulated cases that alternative has good performance where original fails.

The design of a fully differential CMOS transconductance operational amplifier is presented. Topology selection, compensation, biasing, and common mode feedback are discussed. Design analysis and simulations are presented demonstrating that the amplifier exceeds the specifications for application in the first stage of a 13-bit pipelined A/D converter, while dissipating an average of 66 mW of po...

Dissipating planetary waves in the mesosphere/lower thermosphere (MLT) region may cause changes in the background dynamics of that region, subsequently driving variability throughout the broader thermosphere/ionosphere system via mixing due to the induced circulation changes. We report the results of case studies examining the possibility of such coupling during the northern winter in the conte...

The knee bracing steel frame (KBF) is a new type of energy dissipating frame which enjoys exceptional ductility and lateral stiffness. Rather than the beam-column joint, one end of the diagonal brace in KBF is attached to the knee element. Indeed, the knee element as a hysteretic damper is designed and detailed to behave like a structural fuse by sustaining controlled inelastic deformations as ...
