Performing the sensitivity analysis of contact conduction on the basis of the thermal model already established, the study of thermal design is accomplished for the preparation of the future changes of mechanical interface design. A relatively simple thermal model is taken into consideration for the convenience of the analysis. A variety of the spacecraft bus voltages and the contact resistances are tried. As a consequence, when the mechanical interface condition is changed at the same module, the successful thermal design could be achieved if we design the heater to have sufficiently large power with reference to the heritage of contact resistance.

Sensitivity analysis scheme is developed in the elasto-plastic finite element method with explicit time integration using direct differentiation method. The direct differentiation is concerned with the time integration, constitutive relation, shell element with reduced integration and the contact scheme. Sensitivity analysis results are mainly examined with the highly nonlinear and quasi-static problem with the complicated contact condition. The result shows stable sensitivity especially in the sheet metal forming analysis.

In this study, the prototype structure of seismically designed steel moment frame was analyzed statically and dynamically in order to demonstrate the applicability of energy-based approximate analysis with the dynamic effect of sudden column loss in the evaluation of the collapse resistance and a method for assessing the sensitivity to progressive collapse was proposed. For the purpose of comparing the structural behavior of buildings with different structural systems, the sensitivity of the structure to the sudden removal of vertical members can be used as a significant measure. The energy-based approximate analysis prediction for the prototype structure considered in the study showed good agreement with the dynamic analysis result. In the sensitivity evaluation, the structural robustness index that indicates the ability of a structure to resist collapse induced by abnormal loads was used. It was confirmed that the proposed methods can be used conveniently and rationally in progressive collapse analysis and design.

A numerical approach for performing kinematic design sensitivity analysis of vehicle suspension systems is presented. Compared with the conventional analytical methods, which require explicit derivation of sensitivity equations, the proposed numerical method can be applied to any type of suspension systems without obtaining sensitivity equations, once any kinematic analysis procedure is established. To obtain sensitivity equations, a numerical differentiation algorithm that uses the third order Lagrange polynomial is developed. The algorithm efficiently and accurately computes the sensitivity of various vehicle static design factors with respect to kinematic design variables. Through a suspension design problem, the validity and usefulness of the method is demonstrated.

A performance sensitivity of liquid rocket engine to propellant density or supply pressure change was studied. The analysis program was verified to have 1% error comparing with the measured data of a turbopump-gas generator system. The engine combustion pressure decreases as fuel supply pressure increases due to decreased mixture ratio which reduces the turbine power. The engine combustion pressure increases as fuel density increases because the total propellant flow rate is increased substantially even though mixture ratio is slightly decreased. The engine combustion pressure increases when the oxidizer density or supply pressure increases.

One of the major disadvantages of isogeometric analysis(IGA) is that local refinement is nearly impossible in a conventional manner because of the tensor product nature in NURBS. In this research, we investigate a local refinement scheme for isogeometric analysis, named multi-resolution approach where different resolutions are employed at each subdomain, using h-refinement relation to endow displacement compatibility on an interface of subdomains. Then, we develop shape sensitivity analysis possessing same compatibility condition as in the analysis. Numerical examples are shown to demonstrate the computational efficiency of the method in analysis especially stress concentration problem and accurate sensitivity results which is also compatible on the interface.

Design sensitivity analysis scheme is proposed in an elasto -plastic finite element method with explicit time integration using a direct differentiation method. The direct differentiation is concerned with large deformation, the elasto-plastic constitutive relation, shell elements with reduced integration and the contact scheme. The design sensitivities with respect to the process parameter are calculated with the direct analytical differentiation of the governing equation. The sensitivity results obtained from the present theory are compared with that obtained by the finite difference method in a class of sheet metal forming problems such as hemi-spherical stretching and cylindrical cup deep-drawing. The result shows good agreement with the finite difference method and demonstrates that the preposed sensitivity calculation scheme is a pplicable in the complicated sheet metal forming analysis and design.

In this paper a frequency response analysis using Krylov subspace-based model reduction and its design sensitivity analysis with respect to design variables are presented. Since the frequency response and its design sensitivity information are necessary for a gradient-based optimization, problems of high computational cost and resource may occur in the case that frequency response of a large sized finite element model is involved in the optimization iterations. In the suggested method model order reduction of finite element models are used to calculate both frequency response and frequency response sensitivity, therefore one can maximize the speed of numerical computation for the frequency response and its design sensitivity. As numerical examples, a semi-monocoque shell and an array-type $4{\times}4$ MEMS resonator are adopted to show the accuracy and efficiency of the suggested approach in calculating the FRF and its design sensitivity. The frequency response sensitivity through the model reduction shows a great time reduction in numerical computation and a good agreement with that from the initial full finite element model.

To obtain a high performance in a direct vector controlled induction machine, it is essential to obtain the current rotor flux. The accuracy of flux observers for induction machines inherently depends on parameter sensitivity. This paper proposes an analysis method for conventional flux observers using "parameter sensitivity". The "parameter sensitivity" is defined as the ratio of the percentage change in the system transfer function to the percentage change of the parameter variation. We define the ratio between real flux and estimated no as the transfer function, and analyze a parameter sensitivity of this transfer function. Practical verification is presented to conform the capabilities of the proposed analysis method.sed analysis method.
