Hankel Transforms (hankel + transform)
Selected AbstractsVector Hankel transform analysis of a tunable circular microstrip patchINTERNATIONAL JOURNAL FOR NUMERICAL METHODS IN BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING, Issue 5 2005T. Fortaki Abstract In this paper, a rigorous analysis of the tunable circular microstrip patch is performed using a dyadic Green's function formulation. To make the theoretical formulation more general and hence valid for various antennas structures (not only limited to tunable microstrip patch); the dyadic Green's function is derived when the patch is assumed to be embedded in a multilayered dielectric substrate. A very efficient technique to derive the dyadic Green's function in the vector Hankel transform domain is proposed. Using the vector Hankel transform, the mixed boundary value problem is reduced to a set of vector dual integral equations. Galerkin's method is then applied to solve the integral equation where two sets of disk current expansions are used. One set is based on the complete set of orthogonal modes of the magnetic cavity, and the other consists of combinations of Chebyshev polynomials with weighting factors to incorporate the edge condition. Convergent results for these two sets of disk current expansions are obtained with a small number of basis functions. The calculated resonant frequencies and quality factors are compared with experimental data and shown to be in good agreement. Finally, numerical results for the air gap tuning effect on the resonant frequency and half-power bandwidth are also presented. Copyright © 2005 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Shneerson A low-resolution shape of a molecule in solution may be deduced from measured small-angle X-ray scattering I(q) data by exploiting a Hankel transform relation between the coefficients of a multipole expansion of the scattered amplitude and corresponding coefficients of the electron density. In the past, the radial part of the Hankel transform has been evaluated with the aid of a truncated series expansion of a spherical Bessel function. It is shown that series truncation may be avoided by analytically performing the radial integral over an entire Bessel function. The angular part of the integral involving a spherical harmonic kernel is performed by quadrature. Such a calculation also allows a convenient incorporation of a molecular hydration shell of constant density intermediate between that of the protein and the solvent. Within this framework, we determine the multipole coefficients of the shape function by optimization of the agreement with experimental data by simulated annealing. [source] Surface deformation due to loading of a layered elastic half-space: a rapid numerical kernel based on a circular loading elementGEOPHYSICAL JOURNAL INTERNATIONAL, Issue 1 2007E. Pan SUMMARY This study is motivated by a desire to develop a fast numerical algorithm for computing the surface deformation field induced by surface pressure loading on a layered, isotropic, elastic half-space. The approach that we pursue here is based on a circular loading element. That is, an arbitrary surface pressure field applied within a finite surface domain will be represented by a large number of circular loading elements, all with the same radius, in which the applied downwards pressure (normal stress) is piecewise uniform: that is, the load within each individual circle is laterally uniform. The key practical requirement associated with this approach is that we need to be able to solve for the displacement field due to a single circular load, at very large numbers of points (or ,stations'), at very low computational cost. This elemental problem is axisymmetric, and so the displacement vector field consists of radial and vertical components both of which are functions only of the radial coordinate r. We achieve high computational speeds using a novel two-stage approach that we call the sparse evaluation and massive interpolation (SEMI) method. First, we use a high accuracy but computationally expensive method to compute the displacement vectors at a limited number of r values (called control points or knots), and then we use a variety of fast interpolation methods to determine the displacements at much larger numbers of intervening points. The accurate solutions achieved at the control points are framed in terms of cylindrical vector functions, Hankel transforms and propagator matrices. Adaptive Gauss quadrature is used to handle the oscillatory nature of the integrands in an optimal manner. To extend these exact solutions via interpolation we divide the r -axis into three zones, and employ a different interpolation algorithm in each zone. The magnitude of the errors associated with the interpolation is controlled by the number, M, of control points. For M= 54, the maximum RMS relative error associated with the SEMI method is less than 0.2 per cent, and it is possible to evaluate the displacement field at 100 000 stations about 1200 times faster than if the direct (exact) solution was evaluated at each station; for M= 99 which corresponds to a maximum RMS relative error less than 0.03 per cent, the SEMI method is about 700 times faster than the direct solution. [source] Analytical solution for the electric potential in arbitrary anisotropic layered media applying the set of Hankel transforms of integer orderGEOPHYSICAL PROSPECTING, Issue 5 2006E. Pervago ABSTRACT The analytical solution and algorithm for simulating the electric potential in an arbitrarily anisotropic multilayered medium produced by a point DC source is here proposed. The solution is presented as a combination of Hankel transforms of integer order and Fourier transforms based on the analytical recurrent equations obtained for the potential spectrum. For the conversion of the potential spectrum into the space domain, we have applied the algorithm of the Fast Fourier Transform for logarithmically spaced points. A comparison of the modelling results with the power-series solution for two-layered anisotropic structures demonstrated the high accuracy and computing-time efficiency of the method proposed. The results of the apparent-resistivity calculation for both traditional pole-pole and tensor arrays above three-layered sequence with an azimuthally anisotropic second layer are presented. The numerical simulations show that both arrays have the same sensitivity to the anisotropy parameters. This sensitivity depends significantly on the resistivity ratio between anisotropic and adjacent layers and increases for the models with a conductive second layer. [source] Axisymmetric interaction of a rigid disc with a transversely isotropic half-spaceINTERNATIONAL JOURNAL FOR NUMERICAL AND ANALYTICAL METHODS IN GEOMECHANICS, Issue 12 2010Amir Aabbas Katebi Abstract A theoretical formulation is presented for the determination of the interaction of a vertically loaded disc embedded in a transversely isotropic half-space. By means of a complete representation using a displacement potential, it is shown that the governing equations of motion for this class of problems can be uncoupled into a fourth-order partial differential equation. With the aid of Hankel transforms, a relaxed treatment of the mixed-boundary value problem is formulated as dual integral equations, which, in turn, are reduced to a Fredholm equation of the second kind. In addition to furnishing a unified view of existing solutions for zero and infinite embedments, the present treatment reveals a severe boundary-layer phenomenon, which is apt to be of interest to this class of problems in general. The present solutions are analytically in exact agreement with the existing solutions for a half-space with isotropic material properties. To confirm the accuracy of the numerical evaluation of the integrals involved, numerical results are included for cases of different degrees of the material anisotropy and compared with existing solutions. Further numerical examples are also presented to elucidate the influence of the degree of the material anisotropy on the response. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. [source] Finite element analyses of layered visco-elastic system under vertical circular loadingINTERNATIONAL JOURNAL FOR NUMERICAL AND ANALYTICAL METHODS IN GEOMECHANICS, Issue 8 2008Q. Xu Abstract Analyses for the response of a linear visco-elastic system subjected to axi-symmetric vertical circular loading are presented. Hankel transforms with respect to the radial spatial coordinate are used to reduce the three-dimensional problem to that involving only a single spatial dimension, which is then discretized using the finite element method. Three techniques are employed to handle the time factor in the visco-elastic material: (i) direct time integration; (ii) Fourier transforms; and (iii) Laplace transforms. These methods are compared and evaluated through their numerical results. Copyright © 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. [source] | |||||||||||||
