A continuum-based design sensitivity analysis and topology optimization methods are developed for power flow analysis. Efficient adjoint sensitivity analysis method is employed and further extended to topology optimization problems. Young's moduli of all the finite elements are selected as design variables and parameterized using a bulk material density function. The objective function and constraint are an energy compliance of the system and an allowable volume fraction, respectively. A gradient-based optimization, the modified method of feasible direction, is used to obtain the optimal material layout. Through several numerical examples, we notice that the developed design sensitivity analysis method is very accurate and efficient compared with the finite difference sensitivity. Also, the topology optimization method provides physically meaningful results. The developed is design sensitivity analysis method is very useful to systematically predict the impact on the design variations. Furthermore, the topology optimization method can be utilized in the layout design of structural systems.

A great deal of effert has been invested in upgrading the performance and the efficiency of mechanical structures. Using experimental modal analysis(EMA) or finite element analysis(FEA) data of mechanical structures, this performance and efficiency can be effectively evaluated. In order to analyze complex structures such as automobiles and aircraft, for the sake of computing efficiency, the dynamic substructuring techniques that allow to predict the dynamic behavior of a structure based on that of the composing structures, are widely used. By llinking a modal model obtained from EMA and an analytical model obtained from FEA, the best conditioned structures can be desinged. In this paper, a new algorithm for structural dynamic modification-SRFSM (substructure response function sensitivity method) is proposed by linking frequency responce function synthesis and response function sensitivity. A mehtod to obtain response function sensitivity using direct derivative of mechanical impedance, is also used.

In this study, a damage detection method that uses sensitivity-based finite (FE) element model updating with the natural frequency and zero frequency was proposed. The stiffness matrix for a structure was modified using the sensitivity-based FE model updating method. A sensitivity analysis was used to update the FE model, and the natural frequencies and zero frequencies were considered as target parameters to supplement the information on the vibration characteristics. The locations and values of the damages were estimated from the modified stiffness matrix. Several numerical examples were considered to verify the performance of the proposed method.

To improve the shock-resistance of piezoresistive high-g accelerometer, we propose a design of piezoresistive high-g accelerometer. The accelerometer employs special-shaped proof masses system with a cross gap. Four tiny sensing beams are bonded above the cross gap. The expression of the deformation, natural frequency and damping is deduced, and the structural parameters are optimized. The accelerometer structure is simulated and verified by finite element method (FEM) simulation. The results show that the range of the accelerometer can reach 200,000 g, the natural frequency is 453.6 kHz, and the cross-axis sensitivity of X-axis and Y-axis is 0.25% and 0.11%, respectively, which can apply to the measurement of high shock. Contrastively, the cross-axis sensitivity of X-axis and Y-axis is respectively, reduced by 93.2% and 96.9%. The sensitivity of our accelerometer is 0.88 μV/g. It is of great value for the application of piezoresistive high-g accelerometer with high shock-resistance.

In this paper five-order Butterworth Low pass active RC filter is designed by using FDNR (Frequency Dependent Ncgative Resistor) Method from LC ladder filter having the lowest sensitivity. In process of Transformation to SCF (Switched Capacitor Filter) from active RC filter, Bilinear Z Transfomation method is utilized. By the design of SCF using the bilinear Z transform method the problem of aliasing can be avoided, but the frequency distortion is generated. The transformation from analog filter to digital filter is not equal in the region of the cut off frequency caused by this effect. Avoiding the problem of this effect, we use prewarping method. The result shows that the prewarped SCF makes more remarkable improvement in the frequency distortion than SCF which is transformed by using bilinear Z transform.

The sensitivity of the emotion evoked visually by IAPS was attempted to be defined using EEG(electroencephalogram). Twenty university students were participated in this study. Their EEG was measured and analyzed in terms of frequency range such as delta, theta, alpha and beta wave. The results showed that alpha increased, but delta and beta decreased with positive emotional progress. Inter-variation between alpha and delta in F4 and beta variation in P3 were indicative of the evaluation sensitivity of human emotion.

In this study, a fiber optic air-backed mandrel hydrophone has been constructed and performance of acoustic signal detection has been measured. The hydrophone is based on a Mach-Zehnder interferometer with 35 m of sensing fiber. The sensitivity is measured up to -128 dB re rad/$\mu$ Pa in range from 1.4 kHz to5 kHz. A system with this design of hydrophone may be applied to detect low frequency underwater acoustic signals.

Notion sickness is well known to be caused by long time exposure to the very low frequency motion in the multiple axes of human body Since the vestibular system for the perception of low frequency motion is located in the head, accurate measurement of 6 degree of freedom head motion is of great importance. In this study, the measurement system consisting of a safety helmet and 9 translational accelerometers was constructed for the estimation of 3 translational and 3 rotational motions of human head. Since estimation errors of 3 rotational components can be significantly magnified even by small offset of the sensitivity axis from the geometric center of an accelerometer, accurate measurement of sensitivity axis must be preceded. The method for accurate estimation of the offset was proposed, and the effect of offset on the estimation of angular acceleration was investigated.

Recently the trend of automobile industry is that IQS evaluation index against a sensitivity quality is increasing. To reduce rattle noise due to speaker sound at low frequencies, it is required the advanced investigation of a package tray panel and a door module panel. This paper optimized the design parameters of package tray panel according to the theoretical background about robust design and suggested the design guideline for resonance avoidance and the reduction of vibrational sensitivity considering the excitation frequency of woofer speaker. In addition, it is suggested the design guideline of a door module panel through the sensitivity analysis in case of the speaker excitation. Finally, the design factor analysis of the quality deviation of a mother-car will make it possible to guarantee the stable characteristics of vehicle vibration in the early stage of vehicle development. These improvements can lead to shortening the time needed to develop better vehicles.
