This paper proposes a time-shifting boundary element method in the time domain to calculate the radiating pressures of an arbitrary object pulsating at eigenfrequencies of the interior (i.e., interior resonance frequencies). In this paper, the frequency shifting is time-step-dependent and could be viewed as an iterative, or relaxation, technique for the solution of the problem. The proposed method avoids numerical problems due to the internal resonance frequency by initializing the iteration with each scaled frequency. The scaled frequency is approximately equal to the true frequency at the last iterating time step. A sphere pulsating at the eigenfrequency in an infinite acoustic domain was calculated first; the result was compared with the analytical solution, and they were in good agreement. Moreover, two arbitrary-shaped radiators were taken as study cases to predict the radiating pressures at the interior resonance frequencies, and robustly convergent results were obtained. Finally, the accuracy of the proposed method was tested using a problem with a known solution. A point source was placed inside the object to compute the surface velocities; the computed surface pressures were identical to the pressures computed using the point source.

This research develops an Advance-Tracing Boundary Element Method in the time domain to calculate the waves that radiate from an immersed obstacle moving with random acceleration. The moving velocity of the immersed obstacle is multifrequency and is projected along the normal direction of every element on the obstacle. The projected normal velocity of every element is presented by the Fourier series and includes the advance-tracing time, which is equal to a quarter period of the moving velocity. The moving velocity is treated as a known boundary condition. The computing scheme is based on the boundary integral equation in the time domain, and the approach process is carried forward in a loop from the first time step to the last. At each time step, the radiated pressure on each element is updated until obtaining a convergent result. The Advance-Tracing Boundary Element Method is suitable for calculating the radiating problem from an arbitrary obstacle moving with random acceleration in the time domain and can be widely applied to the shape design of an immersed obstacle in order to attain security and confidentiality.

A quasi one-dimensional analysis of sound transmission in a flow duct lined with an array of nonlinear resonators is described. The solution to the equations describing the sound field and the hydrodynamic flow in the neighborhood of the resonator orifices is performed numerically in the time domain, with the object of properly accounting for the nonlinear interaction between the acoustic field and the resonators. Experimental data are compared to numerical computations in the time domain and generally very good agreement is noted. The method described here may readily be extended for use in the design of exhaust mufflers for internal combustion engines.

Abstract Select the common mooring system-soft yoke mooring system as the research object. The soft yoke mooring system is regarded as a structure composed of multiple rigid bodies, and the theoretical analysis of multi-body dynamics is used to discuss the interaction of multi-rigid bodies. The classical HYSY113 FPSO is selected as an example, for the soft yoke mooring system, the stiffness characteristics and static restoring force curved compared with those of software OrcaFlex, and they are in good agreement, which verify the reliability of the formula derived, and it is a prerequisite for the accurate simulations in further steps. Coupled analysis to the whole system in time domain is also carried out both in OrcaFlex and AQWA, and the representative response of the FPSO under different environmental conditions is compared, the results are consistent well with each other. It is a good reference for the future study in this field. Good static characteristics are a prerequisite for accurate analysis of time-domain motion. By comparing the results in the time domain, it is found that under the same working conditions, the analysis results calculated by different commercial software (AQWA and OrcaFlex) may be different. We need to perform design analysis based on the characteristics of the software.

Based on the panel-free method, large-amplitude motions of floating offshore structures have been computed by solving the body-exact problem in the time domain using the exact geometry. The body boundary condition is imposed on the instantaneous wetted surface exactly at each time step. The free surface boundary is assumed linear so that the time-domain Green function can be applied. The instantaneous wetted surface is obtained by trimming the entire NURBS surfaces of a floating structure. At each time step, Gaussian points are automatically distributed on the instantaneous wetted surface. The velocity potentials and velocities are computed accurately on the body surface by solving the desingularized integral equations. Nonlinear Froude-Krylov forces are computed on the instantaneous wetted surface under the incident wave profile. Validation studies have been carried out for a Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) vessel. Computed results were compared with experimental results and solutions by the panel method.

Abstract The rotationally and elliptically split normal modes of the earth are observed for the 1960 Chilean earthquake by analysis in the time domain. One hundred and fifty hours of the Isabella, California, strain record are narrow band filtered about the central frequency of each split multiplet to isolate the complex wave form resulting from the interference of the different singlets. We compute synthetic seismograms using our previous theoretical results, which show the dependence of the amplitude and phase of the singlets on source location, depth, mechanism, and the position of the receiver. By comparing these synthetics to the filtered record, we conclusively demonstrate the splitting of modes whose splitting had not been definitely resolved: torsional modes (0T3, 0T4) and spheroidal modes (0S4, 0S5). The splitting of 0S2 and 0S3 is reconfirmed. We obtain good agreement between the synthetics and the filtered data for a source mechanism (previously determined from long-period surface waves) of thrust motion on a shallow dipping fault.

A non linear time domain formulation for ship motions and wave loads is presented and applied to the S175 containership. The paper describes the mathematical formulations and assumptions, with particular attention to the calculation of the hydrodynamic force in the time domain. In this formulation all the forces involved are non linear and time dependent. Hydrodynamic forces are calculated in the frequency domain and related to the time domain solution for each time step. Restoring and exciting forces are evaluated directly in time domain in a way of the hull wetted surface. The results are compared with linear strip theory and linear three dimensional Green function frequency domain seakeeping methodologies with the intent of validation. The comparison shows a satisfactory agreement in the range of small amplitude motions. A first approach to large amplitude motion analysis displays the importance of incorporating the non linear behaviour of motions and loads in the solution of the seakeeping problem.

AbstractPicosecond time scale magnetization reversal dynamics in a 15nm thick Ni80Fe20 microstructure (10μm×2μm) is studied using time-resolved scanning Kerr microscopy. The time domain images reveal a striking change in the magnetization reversal mode, associated with the dramatic reduction in switching time when the magnetization vector is pulsed by a longitudinal switching field while a steady transverse biasing field is applied to the sample. According to the time domain imaging results, the abrupt change of the switching time is due to the change in the magnetization reversal mode; i.e., the nucleation dominant reversal process is replaced by domain wall motion if transverse biasing field is applied. Furthermore, magnetization oscillations subsequent to reversal are observed at two distinct resonance frequencies, which sensitively depend on the biasing field strength. The high frequency resonance at f=2 GHz is caused by damped precession of the magnetization vector, whereas another mode at f≈0.8 GHz is observed to arise from domain wall oscillation.

The discrete wavenumber method is used to compute synthetic full‐waveform acoustic logs in axisymmetric multilayered boreholes and to perform the frequency‐wavenumber analysis of the radiated wave field. The stress‐displacement vector is propagated through the layers using a numerically improved formulation of the Thomson‐Haskell method. In the time domain, all the trapped and interface modes overlap. On the contrary, the representations of the spectral energy density of the scattered wave field in the frequency axial‐wavenumber domain, for various radial positions of observation, allow the recognition and identification of the different wave types as well as their repartition of energy. In particular, these diagrams show the close relation between the resonance frequencies of the borehole and the significant low‐frequency energy of the pseudo‐Rayleigh modes. They also facilitate the interpretation of some of the physical phenomena which occur during the propagation in a complex borehole environment. We present the configurations of a well‐bonded and unbonded cased hole, an invaded zone, and a mudcake. For all of these models, we consider a “fast” formation in which the S-wave velocity is higher than the bore fluid velocity and a “slow” formation. The presence of an elastic tool at the center of the borehole is also investigated. The associated microseismograms, computed for a series of source‐receiver spacings, characterize in the time domain the observations previously made.
