Fourier-Laplace transforms analysis

The rest of the analysis is now carried out, using the formalism presented by Leutheusser [34]. Let us introduce a Fourier-Laplace transform or onesided Fourier transform,... 

The analysis of the dynamics and dielectric relaxation is made by means of the collective dipole time-correlation function (t) = (M(/).M(0)> /( M(0) 2), from which one can obtain the far-infrared spectrum by a Fourier-Laplace transformation and the main dielectric relaxation time by fitting < >(/) by exponential or multi-exponentials in the long-time rotational-diffusion regime. Results for (t) and the corresponding frequency-dependent absorption coefficient, A" = ilf < >(/) cos (cot)dt are shown in Figure 16-6 for several simulated states. The main spectra capture essentially the microwave region whereas the insert shows the far-infrared spectral region. 

For the purpose of linear analysis, we represent the perturbation quantities by their Fourier- Laplace transform via... 

Here we are interested in the asymptotic behavior of the exact solution to Eq. (57) and we follow the analysis of Bologna et al. [52]. The most direct way to determine these properties is to take the Laplace transform in time and Fourier transform in space to obtain the Fourier-Laplace transform of the Liouville density... 

These equations are most easily solved using Fourier-Laplace analysis. Introducing the Fourier-Laplace transforms... 

There exist powerful simulation tools such as the EMTP [35]. These tools, however, involve a number of complex assumptions and application limits that are not easily understood by the user, and often lead to incorrect results. Quite often, a simulation result is not correct due to the user s misunderstanding of the application limits related to the assumptions of the tools. The best way to avoid this type of incorrect simulation is to develop a custom simulation tool. For this purpose, the FD method of transient simulations is recommended, because the method is entirely based on the theory explained in Section 2.5, and requires only numerical transformation of a frequency response into a time response using the inverse Fourier/Laplace transform [2,6,36, 37, 38, 39, 40, 41-42]. The theory of a distributed parameter circuit, transient analysis in a lumped parameter circuit, and the Fourier/Laplace transform are included in undergraduate course curricula in the electrical engineering department of most universities throughout the world. This section explains how to develop a computer code of the FD transient simulations.

The traditional way is to measure the impedance curve, Z(co), point-after-point, i.e., by measuring the response to each individual sinusoidal perturbation with a frequency, to. Recently, nonconventional approaches to measure the impedance function, Z(a>), have been developed based on the simultaneous imposition of a set of various sinusoidal harmonics, or noise, or a small-amplitude potential step etc, with subsequent Fourier- and Laplace transform data analysis. The self-consistency of the measured spectra is tested with the use of the Kramers-Kronig transformations [iii, iv] whose violation testifies in favor of a non-steady state character of the studied system (e.g., in corrosion). An alternative development is in the area of impedance spectroscopy for nonstationary systems in which the properties of the system change with time. 

Gangwall et al. [47] were the first to apply Fourier analysis for the evaluation of the transport parameters of the Kubin-Kucera model. Gunn et al. applied the frequency response [80] and the pulse response method [83] in order to determine the coefficients of axial dispersion and internal diffusion in packed beds from experiments performed at various Reynolds numbers. Bashi and Gunn [83] compared the methods based on the analytical properties of the Fourier and the Laplace transforms for the calculation of transport coefficients. MacDonnald et al. [84] discussed the applications of the method of moments to the analysis of the profiles of skewed chromatographic peaks. When more than two parameters have to be determined from one single run, the moment analysis method is less suitable, because only the first and second moments are reliable (see Figure 6.9). Therefore, only two parameters can be determined accurately. 

Laplace transformations are mainly used in signal analysis of electrical circuits for mathematical convenience. Differential and integral equations can often be reduced to nonlinear algebraic equations of the complex variable p in the transform domain. Many of the properties of the Fourier transformation can be taken over simply by substituting (ohy p. Particularly useful are the Laplace transforms L for differentiation and for integration. They can be expressed in terms of the transform F] p) of a function fit) by... 

We make now, similarly as is common with the different integral transforms, a correspondence table between the stochastic variable and the associated characteristic function. Note, there are several integral transforms. The most well-known integral transformation might be the Fourier transform. Further, we emphasize the Laplace transform, the Mellin transform, and the Hilbert transform. These transformations are useful for the solution of various differential equations, in communications technology, all ranges of the frequency analysis, also for optical problems and much other more. We designate the stochastic variable with X. The associated characteristic function should be... 

Theret et al. [1988] analyzed the micropipette experiment with endothelial cell. The cell was interpreted as a linear elastic isotropic half-space, and the pipette was considered as an axisymmetric rigid ptmch. This approach was later extended to a viscoelastic material of the cell and to the model of the cell as a deformable layer. The solutions were obtained both analytically by using the Laplace transform and numerically by using the finite element method. Spector et al. [ 1998] analyzed the application of the micropipette to a cylindrical cochlear outer hair cell. The cell composite membrane (wall) was treated as an orthotropic elastic shell, and the corresponding problem was solved in terms of Fourier series. Recently, Hochmuth [2000] reviewed the micropipette technique applied to the analysis of the cellular properties.

Similar to Laplace transforms, Fourier transforms also have special properties under differentiation and integration making them a very effective method for solving differential equations. Due to the form of the constitutive laws in viscoelasticity, Fourier transforms are quite useful in analysis of viscoelastic problems. 

To practitioners in reservoir engineering and well test analysis, the state-of-the-art has bifurcated into two divergent paths. The first searches for simple closed-form solutions. These are naturally restricted to simplified geometries and boundary conditions, but analytical solutions, many employing method of images techniques, nonetheless involve cumbersome infinite series. More recent solutions for transient pressure analysis, given in terms of Laplace and Fourier transforms, tend to be more computational than analytical they require complicated numerical inversion, and hence, shed little insight on the physics.
