Abstract: The shielding ability of a shielding cavity with an
aperture will be greatly degraded at resonance frequencies, and the
resonance modes and frequencies are affected by aperture resonances
and aperture-cavity coupling, which are closely related with aperture
sizes. The equivalent circuit method and numerical method of
Transmission Line Matrix (TLM) are used to analyze the effects of
aperture resonances and aperture-cavity coupling on the
electromagnetic resonances of a cavity with an aperture in this paper.
Both analytical and numerical results show that the resonance modes
of a shielding cavity with an aperture consist of cavity resonance
modes and aperture resonance modes, and the resonance frequencies
will shift with the change of the aperture sizes because of the aperture
resonances and aperture-cavity coupling. Variation rules of
electromagnetic resonances with aperture sizes for a cavity with an
aperture are given, which will be useful for design of shielding
cavities.
Abstract: Group decision making with multiple attribute has
attracted intensive concern in the decision analysis area. This paper
assumes that the contributions of all the decision makers (DMs) are not
equal to the decision process based on different knowledge and
experience in group setting. The aim of this paper is to develop a novel
approach to determine weights of DMs in the group decision making
problems. In this paper, the weights of DMs are determined in the
group decision environment via angle cosine and projection method.
First of all, the average decision of all individual decisions is defined
as the ideal decision. After that, we define the weight of each decision
maker (DM) by aggregating the angle cosine and projection between
individual decision and ideal decision with associated direction
indicator μ. By using the weights of DMs, all individual decisions are
aggregated into a collective decision. Further, the preference order of
alternatives is ranked in accordance with the overall row value of
collective decision. Finally, an example in a chemical company is
provided to illustrate the developed approach.
