Purpose: The purpose of this study is to provide a sensitivity analysis of system reliability for recognizing effectiveness of changing of BD mode failures using reliability growth projection model based on NHPP. Methods: Crow extended reliability projection model (CERPM) is used to analyze the changing of two factors 1) the number of BD mode failures, 2) fix effectiveness factor (FEF) values. Results: The system reliability has increased in accordance with the number of BD mode failures and FEF values have increased. Conclusion: It is necessary to design failure modes and FEF values to supervise the reliability.

The updating of the FE model to match it with the experimental results needs the modal information. There are two causes where this methodology is ill-equip to deal with; under-determined and ill-conditioning problem. In this research, the feedback exciter which uses the summation of the white noise and the signals from the measurement sensors multiplied with feedback gains is proposed. The new energy path generated by the feedback exciter changes the modal characteristics of the system and this additional modal information can solve the under-determined problem in the model updating. Through the proper selection of the exciter and sensor locations and the feedback gain, the eigenvalue sensitivity of the updating parameters which cause the ill-conditioning of the sensitivity matrix can be modified. This methodology does not require any additional equipments, makes the acquirement of the additional modal information easy and is robust to the measurement noise.

Comb-type graft hydrogels composed of alginate and poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (PNIPAAm) were prepared to manifest rapid temperature and pH sensitivity. To appear the electro-sensitivity, the polyaniline, conducting polymer, was added into the matrix. The swelling kinetics and ratios were compared under the various compositions of polyaniline. The swelling behaviors revealed that conducting polymer/hydrogel composites could control the swelling ratio and kinetics. The addition of polyaniline in the matrix improved the thermal stability in comparison with that of the hydrogel without polyaniline. In temperature sensitivity, the adding the polyaniline into the matrix decreased the degree of change in the swelling ratio. The swelling ratios continuously increased with increasing pH values. The drug release rate from the hydrogel increased with the adding the polyaniline and the applying the direct voltage to the hydrogels.

In this letter, we propose a novel tag antenna that has low performance degradation with nearby dielectric material. We obtained a stable reading performance and a broad matching bandwidth on nearby dielectric materials by employing a T-matching network with thick line width and capacitively slot-loaded arms. We then built the proposed antenna and measured the tag sensitivity to examine the reading characteristics with nearby dielectric materials. The measured results clearly demonstrate stable tag sensitivity with various nearby dielectric materials, such as foam, acrylic-plastic, glass, and ceramic plates. To more closely observe the antenna characteristics with nearby dielectric materials, we also examined the impedance variation and surface current distribution with respect to the dielectric constant of nearby target objects, which ranged from $1{\times}{\varepsilon}_0$ to $16{\times}{\varepsilon}_0$.

In this paper, a sensitivity index is proposed for identifying the location of FACTS in the power system with PSS. The index can be calculated by using the bus impedance matrix of the power system. This index that is related with sensitivity matrix is included in the network and not in operating condition for power system. This index is applied to IEEE 9 bus test system.

Damage detection based on a reference set of measured data usually has the problem of different environmental temperature in the two sets of measurements, and the effect of temperature difference is usually ignored in the subsequent model updating. This paper attempts to identify the structural damage including the temperature difference with artificial measurement noise. Both local damages and the temperature difference are identified in a gradient-based model updating method based on dynamic response sensitivity. The sensitivities of dynamic response with respect to the system parameters and temperature difference are calculated by direct integration method. The measured dynamic responses of the structure from two different states are used directly to identify the structural local damages and the temperature difference. A single degree-of-freedom mass-spring system and a planar truss structure are studied to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

The accurate prediction of elastoplasticity under prescribed workloads is essential in the optimization of engineering structures. Mechanical experiments are carried out with the goal of obtaining reliable sets of material parameters for a chosen constitutive law via inverse identification. In this work, two sample geometries made of high strength steel plates were evaluated to determine the optimal configuration for the identification of Ludwik's nonlinear isotropic hardening law. Finite element model updating(FEMU) was used to calibrate the material parameters. FEMU computes the parameter changes based on the Hessian matrix, and the sensitivity fields that report changes of computed fields with respect to material parameter changes. A sensitivity analysis was performed to determine the influence of the sample geometry on parameter identifiability. It was concluded that the sample with thinned gauge region with a large curvature radius provided more reliable material parameters.

This paper presents a molten salt reactor (MSR) design parameter sensitivity study using a nodal dynamic modelling methodology with explicitly modified point kinetics equation and Mann's model for heat transfer. Six parameters that can impact MSR safety are evaluated. A MATLAB-Simulink model inspired by Thorcon's 550MWth MSR is used for parameter evaluations. A safety envelope was formed to encapsulate power, maximum and minimum temperature, and temperature-induced reactivity feedback. The parameters are perturbed by ±30%. The parameters were then ranked by their subsequent impact on the considered safety envelope, which ranks acceptable parameter uncertainty. The model is openly available on GitHub.

본 논문에서는 균열 진전문제에 대하여 페리다이나믹스 이론을 이용하여 설계민감도 해석 및 구조 최적설계를 수행하였다. 페리다이나믹스는 해의 불연속성을 다루기 어려웠던 기존의 연속체 이론에 비해 균열 진전문제와 같은 불연속성을 가지는 문제를 자연스럽게 표현할 수 있다는 장점을 가지고 있다. 최적설계를 진행하기 위하여 애조인 변수법으로 설계민감도를 유도하였다. 특히 균열이 진전되더라도 애조인 변수법으로 계산된 변위장과 변형에너지에 대한 설계민감도 값은 유한차분법과 비교하여 매우 정확하고 효율적임을 보였다. 이를 바탕으로 간단한 인장응력 하의 균열진전 문제에 대하여 균열의 분기가 발생하는 위치를 조절하기 위하여 정해진 시간구간에서 변형에너지 값을 줄이는 방향으로 최적설계를 수행하였다. 최적의 재료분포로 해석을 수행한 결과 균열의 분기점을 늦출수 있음을 확인하였다.

전도성 고분자인 poupyrrole과 polyaniline을 이용하여 센서를 제조하고 휘발성 유기화합물에 대한감응특성 및 감지막의 물성을 조사하여 지금까지 알려지지 않은 감응 기구를 설명하고자 하였다. Polypyrrole과 polyaniline은 두께가 얇은 경우가 두꺼운 경우보다 감도가 높았으며, 1분간 도펀트를 제거한 센서가 가장 높은 감도를 나타내었다. 또한 두 가지 센서 모두 극성이 강한 분자가 흡착될수록 감도가 증가하였는데, 이는 극성을 갖는 분자가 감지막 내부로 침투하여 polaron 및 자유 carrier를 고착시키거나 추가의 자유 carrier를 형성하여 전도도에 변화를 주기 때문인 것으로 판단된다.
