The purpose of this research is to analyze sensitivities on hydraulic characteristic factors of bridge and culvert causing flood water level rising. With HEC-RAS and RMA2 models, analysis of backwater due to bridge and culvert in an ideal stream was carried out. The results of hydraulic modeling and sensitivity analysis indicated that the opening ratio and the Froude number were the most sensitive factors and other factors were not quite sensitive to flood water level rising.

Simple and efficient way of nonlinear analysis considering elasto-plastic large deformation is introduced to calculate the strength of ring-stiffened cylinears subject to combined load of axial compression and lateral pressure. Parametric study gives various collapse modes according to the combination ratio of axial compression and lateral pressure, interaction between axial compression and lateral pressure and imperfection sensitivity of ultimate strength.

The purpose of this study was to analysis the effects of shielding area of field configuration with changing of sensitivity and density on tube current (milliampere-seconds, mAs) and image quality in automatic exposure control (AEC) system. The equipment used a digital radiography device (Digital Diagnost, Philips, Netherlands), which has a integral type with an X-ray tube and an indirect digital detector. The AEC system conditions were consisted of 9 setting environments, that mode changing of the sensitivity (S200, S400, S800) and the density (+2.5, 0, -2.5). The tube current evaluated automatically exposed mAs under 81 combination conditions crossed by AEC conditions in fixed at 40 kVp. The image quality evaluated the radiographic images that selected valid images by visual assessment the radiographic images of the self-produced conical pyramid phantom and then measured their signal to noise ratio (SNR). As a result, the maximum tube current was 60.0 mAs that automatically exposed conditions were the 100% of shielding area and the sensitivity of S200 and the density of +2.5. The minimum tube current was 0.9 mAs with non-shielding area and the sensitivity of S800 and the density of -2.5. When the shielded area 0% with the sensitivity of S200 and the density of +2.5, the maximum SNR was the highest as 25.2. But when the shielded area 25% with the sensitivity of S800 and the density of -2.5, the minimum SNR was the lowest as 4.7.

Assuming that the static loaded square tube and the dynamic loaded one have no difference in their characteristics of the crush distance, the theoretical mean dynamic crush load was calculated with respect to the impact speed considering the strain rate sensitivity of the material. The ratio of dynamic to static mean crush load was predicted with previous results. The theoretical analysis was compared with the experimental results of aluminum square tubes axially loaded dynamically.

In wind turbine blades, airfoils are required to have different spec when compared with airplane airfoil. Airfoils for wind turbine blade must have a high lift-to-drag ratio, moderate to high lift and especially low roughness sensitivity. Also an operation Re. No.s are lower than conventional airplane airfoils. At mid-span and inboard region, structural problems have to be considered. Especially, for stall regulated type, moderate stall behavior is essential part of design. For these reasons, airfoil design for HAWT blade is essential part of blade design. In this paper, root airfoil and tip airfoil are discussed. For a root region, 24% thickness airfoil is designed and for a top region, 12% thickness ratio is done. A inverse design method and panel method are used for rapid airfoil design. In this paper, a design method, features of airfoil shape and characteristics are discussed.

Damage detection based on measured vibration data has received intensive studies recently. Frequently, the damage to a structure may be reflected by a change of some system parameters, such as a degradation of the stiffness. In this paper, we apply a method to nondestructively locate and estimate the severity of damage in corrosion pipeline for which a few natural frequencies or mode shapes are available. The method is based on the strain modal sensitivity ratio (SMSR) and the orthogonality conditions sensitivities (OCS) applied to vibration features identified during the monitoring of the pipeline. The advantage of these methods is that it only requires measuring few modal parameters. The SMSR-based and OCS-based damage detection methods are illustrated using computer-simulated and laboratory testing data. The results show that the current method provides a precise indication of both the location and the extent of corrosion pipeline.

This study contributes to evaluate multiphase topology optimization design of plate-like elastic structures with constant thickness and Reissner-Mindlin plate theory. Stiffness and adjoint sensitivity formulations linked to Reissner-Mindlin plate potential energy of bending and shear are derived in terms of multiphase design variables. Multiphase optimization problem is solved through alternative active-phase algorithm with Gauss-Seidel version as an optimization model of optimality criteria. Numerical examples verify efficiency and diversity of the present topology optimization method of Reissner-Mindlin elastic plates depending on multiphase and Poisson's ratio.

A user-interactive pixel design tool for high-quality TFT-LCDs is realized and used to explore the sensitivity of the various array and device parameters for optimizing pixel design. In this tool, the Thompson cable equation and gradual-channel approximation were used for the gate time delay and TFT current modeling respectively. With this tool, each capacitance element, and TFT and array dimensions can be optimized under given design specifications. The electrical characteristics such ascharging ratio, gate time delay, pixel voltage level-shift, and holding ratio can be analyzed. The sensitivity analysis of those design parameters were executed and presented.

The Cdl-xZnxTe film was fabricated by thermal evaporation for the flat-panel X-ray detector. The stoichimetric ratio and the crystal structure of a polycrystalline Cd$_{1-x}$ Zn$_{x}$Te were investigated by EPMA and XRD, respectively. The leakage current and X-ray sensitivity of the fabricated films were measured to analyze the X-ray response characteristic of Zn in the polycrystalline CdZnTe thin film. The leakage current and the output charge density of Cd$_{0.7}$Zn$_{0.3}$Te thin film were measured to 0.37 nA/cm$^2$ and 260 pc/cm$^2$ at an applied voltage of 2.5 V/${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$, respectively. Experimental results showed that the increase of Zn doping rates in Cd$_{1-x}$ Zn$_{x}$Te detectors reduced the leakage current and improved the signal to noise ratio significantly.
