Background: A novel fault location method of HVDC transmission line based on a concentric relaxation principle is proposed in this paper. Methods: Due to the different position of fault, the instantaneous energy measured from rectifier and inverter are different, and the ratio k between them is the relationship to the fault location d. Through the analysis of amplitude-frequency characteristics, we found that the wave attenuation characteristic of low frequency in the traveling wave is stable, and the amplitude of energy is larger, so we get the instantaneous energy ratio by using the low-frequency data. By using the method of wavelet packet decomposition, the voltage traveling wave signal was decomposed. Results: Finally, calculate the value k. By using the data fitting, the relative function of k and d can be got, that is the fault location function. Conclusion: After an exhaustive evaluation process considering different fault locations, fault resistances, and noise on the unipolar DC transmission system, four-machine two-area AC/DC parallel system, and an actual complex grid, the method presented here showed a very accurate and robust behavior.

Tungsten Carbide Composite

A numerical simulation study on elastic wave propagation of a phononic composite structure consisting of epoxy and tungsten carbide is presented for low-frequency elastic wave attenuation applications. The calculated dispersion curves of the epoxy/tungsten carbide composite show that the propagation of elastic waves is prohibited inside the periodic structure over a frequency range. To achieve a wide bandgap, the elastic composite structure can be optimized by changing its dimensions and arrangement, including size, number, and rotation angle of square inclusions. The simulation results show that increasing the number of inclusions and the filling fraction of the unit cell significantly broaden the phononic bandgap compared to other geometric tunings. Additionally, a nonmonotonic relationship between the bandwidth and filling fraction of the composite was found, and this relationship results from spacing among inclusions and inclusion sizes causing different effects on Bragg scatterings and localized resonances of elastic waves. Moreover, the calculated transmission spectra of the epoxy/tungsten carbide composite structure verify its low-frequency bandgap behavior.

A new technique for measuring elastic wave attenuation in the frequency range of 10–150 kHz consists of measuring low‐frequency waveforms using two cylindrical bars of the same material but of different lengths. The attenuation is obtained through two steps. In the first, the waveform measured within the shorter bar is propagated to the length of the longer bar, and the distortion of the waveform due to the dispersion effect of the cylindrical waveguide is compensated. The second step is the inversion for the attenuation or Q of the bar material by minimizing the difference between the waveform propagated from the shorter bar and the waveform measured within the longer bar. The waveform inversion is performed in the time domain, and the waveforms can be appropriately truncated to avoid multiple reflections due to the finite size of the (shorter) sample, allowing attenuation to be measured at long wavelengths or low frequencies. The frequency range in which this technique operates fills the gap between the resonant bar measurement (∼10 kHz) and ultrasonic measurement (∼100–1000 kHz). By using the technique, attenuation values in a PVC (a highly attenuative) material and in Sierra White granite were measured in the frequency range of 40–140 kHz. The obtained attenuation values for the two materials are found to be reliable and consistent.

The underwater acoustic siphon effect is proposed in this work, which aims to reveal the basic physical mechanism of high-efficiency sound absorption in meta-structures composed of multiple detuned units. Furthermore, the influence of the area ratio on the underwater acoustic siphon effect is then investigated by finite element simulation (FES) and theoretical calculation. On this basis, a meta-structure with the maximum absorption coefficient of almost 100% and average absorption coefficient of 80% at 600–1400 Hz is achieved. The underwater acoustic siphon effect could provide a better understanding of high-efficiency sound absorption and offer a new perspective in controlling underwater noises.

Abstract This paper aims to explore the actual working mechanism of sandwich-like meta-plates by periodically attaching nonlinear mass-beam-spring (MBS) resonators for low-frequency wave absorption. The nonlinear MBS resonator consists of a mass, a cantilever beam and a spring that can provide negative stiffness in the transverse vibration of the resonator, and its stiffness is tunable by changing the parameters of the spring. Considering the nonlinear stiffness of the resonator, the energy method is applied to obtain the dispersion relation of the sandwich-like meta-plate and the band-gap bounds related to the amplitude of resonator is derived by dispersion analysis. For the finite sized sandwich-like meta-plate with the fully free boundary condition subjected to external excitations, its dynamic equation is also established by the Galerkin method. The frequency response analysis of the meta-plate is carried out by the numerical simulation, whose band-gap range demonstrates good agreement with the theoretical one. Results show that the band-gap range of the present meta-plate is tunable by the design of the structural parameters of the MBS resonator. Furthermore, by analyzing the vibration suppression of the finite sized meta-plate, it can be observed that the nonlinearity of resonators can widen the wave attenuation range of meta-plate.

Abstract This paper introduces a new approach for the determination of the source region of BW (beat wave) modulation. This type of modulation is achieved by transmitting HF continuous waves with a frequency difference of f, where f is the frequency of modulated ELF/VLF (extremely low frequency/very low frequency) waves from two sub-arrays of a high power HF transmitter. Despite the advantages of BW modulation in terms of generating more stable ELF/VLF signal and high modulation efficiency, there exists a controversy on the physical mechanism of BW and its source region. In this paper, the two controversial theories, i.e. BW based on D-E region thermal nonlinearity and BW based on F region ponderomotive nonlinearity are examined for cases where each of these two theories exists exclusively or both of them exist simultaneously. According to the analysis and the simulation results presented in this paper, it is found that the generated VLF signal amplitude exhibits significant variation as a function of HF frequency in different source regions. Therefore, this characteristic can be utilised as a potential new approach to determine the physical mechanism and source location of BW.
