High-precision epicenter location shows that some of these records are obtained with the incidental angle less than the critical angle. This excludes the possibility that the extra wave phase is a refractive wave from ground surface. Particle motion analysis shows that the characteristic of the extra wave is similar to that of wave, so it is possible that the extra phase is an S to P convert wave from the bottom of sediment basin. Suppose a low velocity layer covers a high velocity basement. Successful simulation by the synthetic seismogram confirms that the extra phase is an S-P convert wave from the interface of the basin bottom. Modifying the depth of interface at each ray path to match the waveform, we obtain an interface distribution in space. In this way, a brief bottom image could be shown, and the Datong basin has a 'V' shaped bottom.展开更多

It is necessary, in fact, to design a controller that is able to set the output value of the voltage and ensure the working within the maximum power point. In this paper, we propose the application of the robust sliding mode control technique to a DC-DC buck converter which is combined with a classical P ＆ O （perturbation and observation） algorithm to enhance the solar system efficiency. Dynamic equations describing the boost converter are derived and a sliding mode controller for a buck converter is designed. It is shown that, this control approach gives good results in terms of robustness toward load and input voltage variations. The effectiveness of the proposed work is verified by the simulation results under PowerSim environment.展开更多

The fast multipole boundary element method(FMBEM), which is suitable for solving large-scale problems,can accelerate the computation speed and conserve memory. However, the coefficient matrix implicitly formed by using the FMBEM is sometimes ill-conditioned, especially for large-scale problems; thus, the convergence of iteration is poor. In this paper, a fast solver is proposed to improve efficiency. First, an adaptive GMRES(m) with variant restart parameter is adjusted for the Galerkin FMBEM. In addition, the sparse approximate inverse preconditioner is improved, and a new sparsity pattern is proposed for the multiscale problem derived from the converter valve shield system. The numerical results show that the accuracy can meet the engineering requirements compared with the finite element method. Compared with other solvers and preconditioners, the algorithm can achieve a satisfactory convergence rate and reduce the computation time. In addition, a single bridge shield system of ±160 kV converter valve is successfully analysed using the proposed method.展开更多
