I'm performing VPT2 calculations in a reaction mechanism to calculate rate coefficients by SCTST theory and perceived that some species presented unexpected negative frequencies after the VPT2 calculation. This was observed for transition structures and reactive intermediates bound by hydrogen bonds or other weak interactions. The example below shows my problem:

It is possible to see that the 13-14 modes are negative after the VPT2 procedure, while the harmonic frequencies are all positive. I have read that if the perturbation magnitude is higher than the harmonic frequency, and presents a negative value, it can result in a negative frequency. However, I don't know how to improve the calculation to avoid this error.
I'm will be very grateful if anyone has a clue about this issue or helps me to correct my calculations.
I am designing pseudo-Doppler direction finder and trying to observe Doppler shift, but I am not able to get it. My system consists of 4 antennas shifted by RF switch. Test signal is 433MHz CW.
4 receiving magnetic base monopole antennas are positioned on the disc with 25cm diameter. Switching frequency is 251kHz.
The issue that I unable to see doppler shift at all. As spectrogram shows 433MHz frequency spike isn't showing any shift and doesn't appear to move at all. As I zoom in even with way much smaller RBW no difference. I can see only switching frequency harmonics around my carrier.
As I understand I should see carrier moving around centre frequency as I switching the antennas.
Thank you for your help.
I am currently working on an air compressor unit. I have already done the simulation and testing for modal analysis on the compressor(static condition). Now I want to do a Harmonic response simulation using the imbalance in the rotor because until now I think that is the only parameter that will be causing a harmonic excitation force. but my question is how can I verify the simulation with testing.
Till now I have figured out I can do a vibration test on a running compressor and verify the results. but are there any other tests that I can do to verify the results from simulation?
I am designing a high frequency filter using a loop resonator, one of the main goals is to achieve a reflection loss (S11) of -20db in a bandwidth of at least 500Mhz around 13.5 Ghz.
I used CST studio suite to simulate and design the filter, I used a frequency window of 0 - 20 Ghz at first, and achieved the desired filter (picture 1). I tried to simulate the same filter using a window of 0 - 30 Ghz(picture 2) and observed a harmonic at 27 Ghz, which is natural, but the first peak is now reduced to only -11db, the goal is not achieved. the question is, why is my first peak affected when I only changed the the frequency window ? which one of the two simulations would match measurements in case of a real produced and measured filter ?
I have read 1 article and they said:
1. "frequency analysis calculations to be minima or transition states."
2. "using the gas phase ... harmonic frequencies."
What are those calculation in Gaussian software and what is the input code for those?
Thanks in advance.
We have implemented and installed a grid-connected PV inverter in two different locations. In the first location, it works well, but in the second location, the line voltage to the cubicle body increases and the inverter surge arrester burns. The earth resistance in both cases is below 1 ohm, which indicates that the earthing system is good. I know that high-frequency harmonics are generated by power electronic devices and can cause leakage currents and neutral-earth voltage, but I cannot find the difference between the two conditions. I would appreciate any suggestions you may have.
in the attached pic :
Yellow: line to cubicle body ( which is earthed)
Blue: line-to-line voltage
Green: inverter current

Attached image shows plot of Fast fourier transform of ECG that had applied a lowpass filter to (15 Hz, zero-phase shift FIR with 24 dB/octave roll-off). The frequency bands increase in increments of 0.03125Hz from 0 to 15 Hz. HRV (< 0.4 Hz) and HR (~1.5 Hz) peaks are clear, but I'm unsure what the harmonics are specifically or their significance. I've found suggestions they are related to subtle variations in the PQRST waveform but find very little literature detailing their significance or meaning, besides a preprint Kotriwar, Y., Kachhara, S., Harikrishnan, K. P. & Ambika, G. Higher order spectral analysis of ECG signals. arXiv (2018) doi:10.48550/arxiv.1809.08451.
Any advice or further references related to these harmonics and their meaning would be greatly appreciated. Thanks


I have tried to find the discriminant for complex-valued harmonic polynomial by using the following options:
1. Real part of the equation=Imaginary part of the equation=Jacobian with respect to equation=0
2. Using singular method.
The problem is these two methods are too slow to compute the discriminant.
My question is can I have another option to compute the discriminant?

Hello all:
I have a random signal whose time domain is from 0s to 0.01s. I hope to simplify this signal so that it has the following two characteristics:
1. a infinite time domain
2. a certain funtion which could express this signal
Therefore, I wonder if I could approximate the random signal to the superposition of harmonic signals.
Any information will be appreciated!

Frequency synthesizers are quite expensive especially for double conversion RF systems. Maybe there are cheaper solutions instead of VCO that might be not such precise. A while ago I was analyzing one repeater that was using RS485 driver for LO. Maybe you have similar experience and can suggest something. For double conversion two individual frequency synthesizers are required or is there any solutions to utilise single one (using) it harmonics or something more exotic. Thank you in advance

Standard tuning for guitar E A D G B E comes around frequently but the old lute tuning E A D G C F is rarely if ever used.
Looking at the gradients, standard tuning is 0 5 5 5 4 5 and the lute tuning is 0 5 5 5 5 5, so the strings in standard span two octaves 0 5 10 15 19 24, while the lute tuning 0 5 10 15 20 25 has one more note than standard.
Same number of points, different number of notes. That makes two different topologies, so we have a collection of guitar topologies that make a theory of guitar.
When guitar strings have one note in common, they have every note in common. Then the guitars have the same set of pitch values (since they can form a union in which every note sounds in tune) but two guitars may have a different number of notes. The notes may be located at different points on guitar.
The number of notes and the number of frets on the guitar is not critical to structure because the structure is basically the same the same with a few more or less but changing the tuning by just one note is critical because it completely changes utility of the structure.
So 0 5 5 5 4 5 is a very, very good number but 0 5 5 5 5 5 is bad number.
It is clear the lute tuning is not as rich as standard because the regularity of 0 5 5 5 5 5 means that the richness of harmonic structures is reduced. For instance, if a major chord moves across the guitar so the tonic falls on successively higher string sets, the structure of the chord in lute tuning does not change. Also, many chords are difficult to play in lute tuning, so a seventh chord is quite difficult to finger. In standard, moving an E chord to the next set of strings makes an A chord, then a D chord; Moving a G chord to higher strings gives a C chord, then F. So standard tuning has 6 different shapes for a major chord, where lute tuning has only one or two.
This shows the principle of least action acts on the guitar topology as a calculus. Action in stardard is far less constrained than lute tuning.
We have here only pitch values, strings, and frets so why isn't that triple a mathematic model?
Perhaps it is this: Mathematicians want to see mathematical proof. But we can hear when pitch is equal, when one pitch is greater or less than another, and when a pitch is multiplied by two.
We know when guitar are in tuning, but we must deduce when they have the same tuning. It would be relatively easy to distinguish guitar in standard and lute tuning, even if they play the same notes. The image of guitar music has the kernal of the tuning.
The topology of music is remarkable because only ordinary math is required to understand the added structure that makes harmony or guitar, but even a brief investigation leads to the realization that the mathematics of music is special and only applies to musical instruments.
I really can't understand why mathematicians and physics are not interested in music as a formal object of study. Doesn't it bug you when you can't understand an everyday object like guitar?
I am working on a trend analysis of at-satellite temperatures (brightness temperature) using Landsat 5, 7 and 8 thermal bands. For the visual and infrared bands I used the sensor harmonization function proposed by Roy et al.

There are many inconveniences of maintenance and operation for HVDC systems with sharing earth electrode. When earth electrode line maintenance is implementing, personal security may be at risk because of DC current flowing through earth electrode line. As an example of sharing earth electrode of two HVDC systems, DC current distributions of earth electrode line and effect factors were analyzed according theoretical analysis and the actual project parameters. And operation suggestions of HVDC systems were proposed during earth electrode line maintenance. The results show that DC current distributions of earth electrode line are mainly affected by earth electrode resistance, earth electrode line resistance, maintenance grounding location and soil conditions. Besides, DC bias of converter transformers may be affected by DC current from earth electrode line, in serious condition, HVDC systems are blocked because of saturation protection action of converter transformer. © 2015, Power System Technology Press.

4. The Influence of DC Bias and Harmonic on Sympathetic Inrush of Converter Transformer
Lingfeng Xia;Xiangfei Sun;Junwei He;Jianping Zhou;Kunming University of Science and Technology;
Compared with common transformer, converter transformer shows some differences from the perspectives of DC bias and harmonic and so on, which has significant influences on sympathetic inrush. There are few researches about that. Therefore, taking the characteristics of converter transformer as the starting point, this thesis analyzes the influence of DC bias and harmonic on sympathetic inrush of converter transformer. Emulation proof is processed with utilization of PSCAD/EMTDC and MATLAB. It's found by study that the influences of DC bias on sympathetic inrush mainly depend on its relationship with the direction of the magnetic linkage of transformer. Content of characteristic harmonic in sympathetic inrush is relatively high and the content of each subharmonic has linear correlation with the intensity of DC bias.

I am trying to simulate harmonic dynamic loading applied on square machine foundation using ABAQUS. While doing experiment, I have used rotating mass type mechanical oscillator. The loading intensity of the same is dependent on the angular frequency(w), [F(t) = F_0.Sinwt = m_e.w^2.Sinwt]. In the numerical modeling, to apply the load on the footing I need to convert the load in terms of real and imaginary components. I am quite confused, how to do that. Can anyone explain, how to calculate the real and imaginary components of the dynamic load. I have mentioned the variation of force amplitude with the rotating frequency of the mechanical oscillator.

I have been trying to get a sub synchronous resonance scenario in the "Wind Farm - Detailed DFIG Model (available on mathworks website)" in Simulink as a part of my project. For that I have to identify the possible frequencies where the harmonics can occur. To identify these, an impedance scan/frequency sweep of the wind farm is required to understand. I have been trying to get give input perturbations to source voltage, measuring the ouput changes at windfarm terminals and then using script to calculate the Fourier Transform. But the results are not ok as my impedance scan actually shows lower impedance at higher frequencies.
Is there any other way to get an impedance scan for the wind farm in Simulink?

Greetings,
I have modeled a faulty system (Bowed rotor) in MATLAB. By increasing the sampling frequency, a frequency component appeared in the FFT graph (after the 1X), but the location (frequency in which the component appeared) is constant, i.e., by changing the system's angular velocity, the coordinate of the X-axis (frequency) is constant and does not show a harmonic component (such as 2X or 3X) while the fault has been modeled as a harmonic force. On the other hand, by increasing defect severity the amplitude of this harmonic component has been raised. Now, does anybody know and could explain it physically, please.
Yours sincere,

Hello all, i'm trying to analyse the vertical deflection of a beam traversed by a point load as shown in the figure. The load has the following format: F=Pcos( ωt+ϕ) where P is the load amplitude (N), ω is the radial frequency of the applied load (rad/sec), V is the speed of the moving load (m/s) and t is the time (s). ϕ is an initial phase applied to the load to ensure that for every frequency, it will arrive at the mid-span with maximum amplitude. Please guide me, how would I define that in Ansys workbench?

Hello,
I am working on project that consists of analyzing power quality. The grid is connected to a nonlinear load which will evidently causes appearance of harmonics and potential swell and sag on the wave form of load current.
Basically, the measured voltage and current will be processed to determine and detect any possible disturbances, for instance swell and sag .
I am asking for an algorithm to do so(especially for sag/swell).
Thank you.

Hello,
I have a circular loop absorber with two dielectric substrates. I want to reduce the reflection at 3GHz. When i set the circumference to half of the effective wavelength, I got this simulation result.
My equation is why the second resonance is obtained at 12 GHz instead of the 2nd harmonic (6GHz)? And why is the reflection coefficient at 12 GHz smaller than at 3 GHz?!

In the attached file, the harmonic-like sequence is defined. Is this kind of a sequence known in the literature? Do you know any source with the properties of such numbers?

Dear Lammps users, a vaste literature is available on the matter of molecular mechanics simulations of layers, “slabs”so to say, of different materials floating on each other. Typical examples are layers or bilayers of lipids on water.
In the final simulation, more often than not we may find a central water slab with two molecular layers symmetrically disposed adjacent to the opposite surfaces of the water slab, so, for example, the disposition in, let’s say the z direction, is “molecular layer A” – “water slab” – “molecular layer A”
Additionally, two empty spaces are added on top (and below) the molecular layers to avoid mutual interactions between the molecules of the layers. I forgot to clarify that the system is periodic in all 3 directions.
Layers are usually “built” alone and equilibrated (with either fix NVT or NPT) and subsequently combined to give rise to the above described system, which is then submitted to the desired simulation.
I tried several times to follow this procedure and the major issue was to avoid to have images conflict which immediately stops the simulation rising an error.
I found a trick which consists of preparing the water and organic molecules slabs separately by using fix addforce to constrain the molecules (water and organic) of each box inside a relatively narrow layer. This system is somehow equilibrated with fix NVT.
In a second step, with a specific program I wrote, the complete system A-water-A is submitted to simulation.
Actually, the simulation finally runs, even if I am getting an “inconsistent image flags warning” .
Honestly, I feel uneasy with my “trick”. It seems to me unphysical and I doubt that the authors in literature made use of such a cumbersome procedure.
I hope to find some “ultra-patient” and competent gentleman willing to comment on this.
My field of research is the regular synthesis of 2-dimensional polymers at the liquid-air interface.
MD simulations are an essential tool in my research.
Thanks a lot for your attention

I have completed the simulation of grid tied inverter and got voltage, current, harmonics distortion at PCC but i don't know how to extract features and process the simulation outputs for SVM training and classification in MATLAB
Goldbach and Euler’s proof is a typical example of what some historians consider a misuse of divergent series , for it starts by assigning a “value” to the harmonic series ∑1/n and proceeds by manipulating it by substraction and replacement of other series until the desired result is reached.
Is there a definitive way to determine the delay between the fundamental (800 nm) and it's second harmonic (400 nm) generated by a type 1 BBO?
Our Ti-Sapphire laser generates 800 nm pulses at 30 fs, a Mach–Zehnder interferometer is constructed. One arm is made to pass through a type 1 beta-BBO of 100 microns, while the other is not disturbed. The delay between 800 and 800 nm was determined quite easily before the type-1 BBO was placed, but a delay is introduced between the 800 and 400 nm pulses in one arm due to the type-1 BBO. Is there any way to determine the delay between them?
PS: The THG generation method was not advisable since control of individual intensities was not guaranteed in the said method.
Greetings all. I am writing an input file for my simulation but I get error on the improper_style. I used opls force field so I used 'harmonic' style for it. But, it gives out error like so:
ERROR: Incorrect args for improper coefficients (src/MOLECULE/improper_harmonic.cpp:219)
Does anyone know where it went wrong or how to fix this?
