(2011-12) MACHADO, Péricles Lopes; OLIVEIRA, Rodrigo Melo e Silva de; SOUZA, Washington César Braga de; ARAÚJO, Ramon Cristian Fernandes; TOSTES, Maria Emília de Lima; GONÇALVES, Cláudio
In this letter, a methodology is proposed for automatically (and locally) obtaining the shape factor c for the Gaussian basis functions, for each support domain, in order to increase numerical precision and mainly to avoid matrix inversion impossibilities. The concept of calibration function is introduced, which is used for obtaining c. The methodology developed was applied for a 2-D numerical experiment, which results are compared to analytical solution. This comparison revels that the results associated to the developed methodology are very close to the analytical solution for the entire bandwidth of the excitation pulse. The proposed methodology is called in this work Local Shape Factor Calibration Method (LSFCM).

Nova metodologia para análise e síntese de sistemas de aterramento complexos utilizando o método lN-FDTD, computação paralela automática e redes neurais artificiais
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2008-02-29) OLIVEIRA, Rodrigo Melo e Silva de; SOUZA SOBRINHO, Carlos Leônidas da Silva; http://lattes.cnpq.br/1450994881555781
The FDTD method in General Coordinates (LN-FDTD) was implemented for analyzing structures not coincident to the Cartesian coordinate system. The method solves the Maxwells equations in time domain, allowing the calculation of data concerning the transitory and steady-state responses of such structures. The method is applied to analyze of special grounding electrodes. A new formulation for the truncating technique UPML, for conductive media, referred here as LN-UPML, was developed and implemented in order to make the simulations viable. A new methodology for locating grounding grid faults using two Artificial Neural Networks is presented. The LN-FDTD software was tested and validated though simulations of various grounding systems. A graphical user interface, named LANE SAGS, was implemented to simplify the use and to automate the data processing.

Novel technique for locating an intruder in 3D environments by using a cooperative system of multistatic radars
(2011-12) ARAÚJO, Josivaldo de Souza; OLIVEIRA, Rodrigo Melo e Silva de; SOUZA SOBRINHO, Carlos Leônidas da Silva
The aim of this work is to present a new methodology, based on vector and geometrical techniques, for determining the position of an intruder in a residence (3D problem). Initially, modifications in the electromagnetic responses of the environment, caused by movements of the trespasser, are detected. It is worth mentioning that slight movements are detected by high frequency components of the used pulse. The differences between the signals (before and after any movement) are used to define a sphere and ellipsoids, which are used for estimating the position of the invader. In this work, multiple radars are used in a cooperative manner. The multiple estimates obtained are used to determine a mean position and its standard deviation, introducing the concept of sphere of estimates. The electromagnetic simulations were performed by using the FDTD method. Results were obtained for single and double floor residences.
