Title: Analysis of models for viscoelastic wave propagation
Abstract We consider the problem of waves propagating in a viscoelastic solid. For the material properties of the solid we consider both classical and fractional differentiation in time versions of the Zener, Maxwell, and Voigt models, where the coupling of different models within the same solid are covered as well. Stability of each model is investigated in the Laplace domain, and these are then translated to time-domain estimates. With the use of semigroup theory, some time-domain results are also given which avoid using the Laplace transform and give sharper estimates. We take the time to develop and explain the theory necessary to understand the relation between the equations we solve in the Laplace domain and those in the time-domain which are written using the language of causal tempered distributions. Finally we offer some numerical experiments that highlight some of the differences between the models and how different parameters effect the results.  more » « less

    We consider the problem of finding the lowest order stable rational transfer function that interpolates a set of given noisy time and frequency domain data points. Our main result shows that exploiting results from rational interpolation theory allows for recasting this problem as minimizing the rank of a matrix constructed from the frequency domain data (the Loewner matrix) along with the Hankel matrix of time domain data, subject to a semidefinite constraint that enforces stability and consistency between the time and frequency domain data. These results are applied to a practical problem: identifying a system from noisy measurements of its time and frequency responses. The proposed method is able to obtain stable low order models using substantially smaller matrices than those reported earlier and consequently in a fraction of the computation time.

    Liquid metals such as gallium alloys have a unique potential to enable fully reconfigurable RF electronics. One of the major concerns for liquid-metal electronics is their interaction with solid-metal contacts, which results in unwanted changes to electrical performance and delamination of solid-metal contacts due to atomic diffusion of gallium at the liquid/solid interface. In this paper, we present a solution to this problem through way of liquid-metal/liquid-metal RF connections by implementing Laplace barriers, which control fluid flow and position via pressure-sensitive thresholds to facilitate physical movement of the fluids within the channels. We demonstrate RF switching within the channel systems by fabricating, testing, and modeling a reconfigurable RF microstrip transmission line with integrated Laplace barriers which operates between 0.5–5 GHz. This approach opens the potential for future all-liquid reconfigurable RF electronic circuits where physical connections between solid and liquid metals are minimized or possibly eliminated altogether.

    Abstract In this paper, we consider the travel time tomography problem for conformal metrics on a bounded domain, which seeks to determine the conformal factor of the metric from the lengths of geodesics joining boundary points. We establish forward and inverse stability estimates for simple conformal metrics under somea prioriconditions. We then apply the stability estimates to show the consistency of a Bayesian statistical inversion technique for travel time tomography with discrete, noisy measurements.

    In this paper, we develop and analyze finite difference methods for the 3D Maxwell’s equations in the time domain in three different types of linear dispersive media described as Debye, Lorentz and cold plasma. These methods are constructed by extending the Yee-Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) method to linear dispersive materials. We analyze the stability criterion for the FDTD schemes by using the energy method. Based on energy identities for the continuous models, we derive discrete energy estimates for the FDTD schemes for the three dispersive models. We also prove the convergence of the FDTD schemes with perfect electric conducting boundary conditions, which describes the second order accuracy of the methods in both time and space. The discrete divergence-free conditions of the FDTD schemes are studied. Lastly, numerical examples are given to demonstrate and confirm our results.
