Current distribution on a 2-layer PCB with lumped circuits is estimated by measuring the near electric field. In this method, the current estimation model is made without considering the electrical parameters of lumped circuits. Experimental results are demonstrated and compared with the numerical results, confirming the validity of this method. key words: measurement, current distribution, nea...

The lumped constant of the deoxyglucose method was determined by the steady-state, model-independent method in the brain of normal conscious rats with arterial plasma glucose concentrations varying from normoglycemia (i.e., 8 mM) to hyperglycemia (i.e., 31 mM). The lumped constant for brain was found to decrease very gradually with increasing arterial plasma glucose concentration from a value o...

The lumped network alternating direction implicit finite difference time domain (LN-ADI-FDTD) technique is proposed as an extension of the conventional ADI-FDTD method in this paper, which allows the lumped networks to be inserted into some ADI-FDTD cells. Based on the piecewise linear recursive convolution (PLRC) technique, the current expression of the loaded place can be obtained. Then, subs...

Using numerical integration in the formulation of the finite-element geometric stiffness matrix and placing movable nodes at integration points causes the geometric stiffness matrix to become lumped or diagonal. The consistent geometric stiffness matrix which is a non-diagonal matrix, is normally used in the finite-element eigenvalue buckling problem. Altering the method to deliver a diagonal (...

We study the spatially semidiscrete lumped mass method for the model homogeneous heat equation with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions. Improving earlier results we show that known optimal order smooth initial data error estimates for the standard Galerkin method carry over to the lumped mass method whereas nonsmooth initial data estimates require special assumptions on the triangulation...

Lumped element models, also known as, mass-spring-damper models, are widely used to simulate deformable objects because of their simplicity and computational efficiency. However, the parameters of lumped element models are typically determined in an ad hoc fashion through trial-and-error, as these models are not directly based on continuum mechanics of deformable objects. In this paper, an alte...
