A procedure for generating vectors of time domain signals that are partially coherent in a prescribed manner is described. The procedure starts with the spectral density matrix,[Gxx(f)], that relates pairs of elements of the vector random process{X(t)},−∞<t<∞. The spectral density matrix is decomposed into the form[Gxx(f)]=[U(f)][S(f)][U(f)]'where[U(f)]is a matrix of complex frequency response functions, and[S(f)]is a diagonal matrix of real functions that can vary with frequency. The factors of the spectral density matrix,[U(f)]and[S(f)], are then used to generate a frame of random data in the frequency domain. The data is transformed into the time domain using an inverse FFT to generate a frame of data in the time domain. Successive frames of data are then windowed, overlapped, and added to form a vector of normal stationary sampled time histories,{X(t)}, of arbitrary length.

The advantages and limitations of frequency domain and time domain methods for estimating the interannual variability arising from day-to-day weather events are summarized. A modification of the time domain method is developed and its application in examining a precondition for the frequency domain method is demonstrated. A combined estimation procedure is proposed: it takes advantage of the strengths of both methods. The estimation procedures are tested with sets of synthetic data and are applied to long time series of three meteorological parameters. The impacts of the different methods on tests of potential long-range predictability for seasonal means are also discussed.

In this paper, we are considering the case of estimating the modal participation vectors from the operating response of a structure. Normally, this is done using a fitting technique either in the time domain using the correlation function matrix or in the frequency domain using the spectral density matrix. In this paper, a more simple approach is proposed based on estimating the modal participation from the correlation matrix of the operating responses. For the case of general damping, it is shown how the response correlation matrix is formed by the mode shape matrix and two transformation matrices T1 and T1 that contain information about the modal parameters, the generalized modal masses, and the input load spectral density matrix Gx. For the case of real mode shapes, it is shown how the response correlation matrix can be given a simple analytical form where the corresponding real modal participation vectors can be obtained in a simple way. Finally, it is shown how the real version of the modal participation vectors can be used to synthesize empirical spectral density functions.

This paper describes two approaches for the simultaneous identification of the coulomb and viscous parameters in kinematical joints. One is a time-domain method (TDM) and the other is a frequency-domain method (FDM). Simulation shows that both of the two methods have good performances in identifying friction at high SNR (90dB). But at low SNR (20dB), the estimation accuracy of the frequency-domain method is higher than that of the time-domain method. A field experiment employing a linkage mechanism driven by motor is also carried out. The experimental results obtained by the two approaches are almost identical under different experiment conditions. It has been concluded that the presented identification methods of friction in kinematical joints are correct and applicable.

The real-time pitch shifting process is widely used in various types of music production. The pitch shifting technology can be divided into two major types, the time domain type and the frequency domain type. Compared with the time domain method, the frequency domain method has the advantage of large shifting scale, low total cost of computing and the more flexibility of the algorithm. However, the use of Fourier Transform in frequency domain processing leads to the inevitable inherent frequency leakage effects which decrease the accuracy of the pitch shifting effect. In order to restrain the side effect of Fourier Transform, window functions are used to fall down the spectrum-aliasing. In practical processing, Haimming Window and Blackman Window are frequently used. In this paper, we compare both the effect of the two window functions in the restraint of frequency leakage and the performance and accuracy in subjective based on the traditional phase vocoder[1]. Experiment shows that Haimming Window is generally better than Blackman Window in pitch shifting process.

The analysis of the time sequence can be two ways in the time domain and frequency domain. But many financial time series exhibit strong non-stationary and long memory, which makes many traditional individually focused on the research and analysis of the time domain or frequency domain method is no longer applicable. In this paper, wavelet analysis and support vector machines for use in the time domain and frequency domain have the ability to characterize the local signal characteristics, location and mutation of the singular points and irregular mutation analysis, these mutations detected the degree of significance.

AbstractDifficulties assessing and predicting the current outbreak of the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 can be traced, in part, to the limitations of a static description of a dynamic system. Fourier transforming the time-domain data of infections and fatalities into the frequency domain makes the dynamics easily accessible. Defining a quantity like the “case fatality” as a spectral density allows a more sensible comparison between different countries and demographics during an ongoing outbreak. Such a case fatality informs not only how many of the confirmed cases end up as fatalities, but also when. For COVID-19, knowing this time and using the entire case fatality spectrum allows determining that an outbreak had entered a steady-state (most likely its end) about 14 days before this is obvious from time-domain data. The lag between confirmations and deaths also helps to estimate the effectiveness of contact management: The larger the lag, the less time the average confirmed person had to infect people before quarantine.

Top Tensioned Risers (TTRs) have been widely used with floating production systems such as Spars and TLPs in deepwater field developments. A TTR system provides direct access to subsea wells from a floating platform for drilling, workover, and completion operations. It is often subjected to Vortex-Induced Vibration (VIV) caused by ambient ocean currents or vessel motions. This paper investigates time domain VIV prediction for TTRs used in a typical Spar floating production system. A typical TTR has strong nonlinear and time-varying dynamic characteristics. The existing gaps between the riser and keel guide and between riser top centralizers and the supporting conductor result in intermittent VIV behaviors of the riser. In addition, hydraulic tensioners are widely used to provide tension to a TTR. The tension from tensioners varies with the riser’s dynamic response especially in the vertical direction. The time domain approach, which has been benchmarked and published in about ten technical papers, is thus more appropriate to predict TTRs’ VIV performance than a frequency domain method. This paper first introduces a typical TTR structure and then presents the analysis methodology and features of the time domain VIV prediction program ABAVIV. An example TTR is used to illustrate intermittent VIV behaviors such as top tension, interaction load at the keel guide, and VIV response at the location of top centralizers. This paper further studies the sensitivity of the VIV response to different current profiles. It finally uses the time domain approach to analyze the VIV response of the riser with its boundary conditions fixed and compares the results with those from a frequency domain program. A conclusion is finally drawn about the use of time domain VIV prediction for Spar TTRs.

The present paper describes a frequency domain model of the structure of an operating horizontal axis wind turbine with three or more blades. The frequency domain model is implemented along with an analogous time domain model in a PC code. This PC code is used to verify the frequency domain model comparing loads on the structure calculated with the frequency domain model both to loads calculated with the time domain model and to measured loads.

Three-dimensional reverse-time migration with the constant-density acoustic wave equation requires an efficient numerical scheme for the computation of wavefields. An explicit finite-difference scheme in the time domain is a common choice. However, it requires a significant amount of disk space for the imaging condition. The frequency-domain approach simplifies the correlation of the source and receiver wavefields, but requires the solution of a large sparse linear system of equations. For the latter, we use an iterative Krylov solver based on a shifted Laplace multigrid preconditioner with matrix-dependent prolongation. The question is whether migration in the frequency domain can compete with a time-domain implementation when both are performed on a parallel architecture. Both methods are naturally parallel over shots, but the frequency-domain method is also parallel over frequencies. If we have a sufficiently large number of compute nodes, we can compute the result for each frequency in parallel and the required time is dominated by the number of iterations for the highest frequency. As a parallel architecture, we consider a commodity hardware cluster that consists of multicore central processing units (CPUs), each of them connected to two graphics processing units (GPUs). Here, GPUs are used as accelerators and not as an independent compute node. The parallel implementation of the 3D migration in frequency domain is compared to a time-domain implementation. We optimize the throughput of the latter with dynamic load balancing, asynchronous I/O, and compression of snapshots. Because the frequency-domain solver uses matrix-dependent prolongation, the coarse-grid operators require more storage than available on GPUs for problems of realistic size. Due to data transfer, there is no significant speedup using GPU-accelerators. Therefore, we consider an implementation on CPUs only. Nevertheless, with the parallelization over shots and frequencies, this approach could compete with the time-domain implementation on multiple GPUs.

This paper deals with the old yet unsolved problem of defining and evaluating the stored electromagnetic energy—a quantity essential for calculating the quality factor, which reflects the intrinsic bandwidth of the considered electromagnetic system. A novel paradigm is proposed to determine the stored energy in the time domain leading to the method, which exhibits positive semi-definiteness and coordinate independence, i.e. two key properties actually not met by the contemporary approaches. The proposed technique is compared with an up-to-date frequency domain method that is extensively used in practice. Both concepts are discussed and compared on the basis of examples of varying complexity.
