The purpose of this study is the optimum modification of dynamic characteristics of stiffened plate structure. In the method of the optimization, finite element method(FEM), sensitivity analysis and optimum structural modification method are used. To begin with, using FEM, the dynamic characteristics of stiffened plate structure is analyzed. Next, rate of change of dynamic characteristics by the change of design variable is calculated using the sensitivity analysis. Then, amount of change of design variable is calculated using this sensitivity value and optimum structural modification method. The change of natural frequency is made to be an objective function. Thickness of plate and cross section moment become a design variable. It is shown that the results are effective in the optimum modification for dynamic characteristics of the stiffened plate structure.

컴퓨터의 눈부신 발달에 힙입어 실험 또는 해석적 방법으로 일반 구조물이나 기계구조물의 진동특성을 손쉽고 정확하게 파악하는 것이 가능하게 되었다. 그런데 최근의 산업현장은 지금까지의 정확한 구조해석에만 그치지 않고 이를 바탕으로 강도 개선, 재료 절감을 통한 원가절감, 중량 최소화 문제등의 차원에서 동적인 특성의 변경을 요구하고 있다. 이러한 문제는 그 중요성에도 불구하고 여전히 설계자의 경험이나 시행착오에 의존하고 있는 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 구조물 결합부분에 주목하여 동특성의 변경 문제를 해석하고자 하였다. 즉 거의 모든 구조물이 결합부를 가지고 있는데 결합부 특성을 정확히 파악할 수 없기 때문에 리벳이나 보울트나 어떤 특수한 형태 결합부가 구조물의 특성에 주는 영향을 예측하기 어렵다. 이러한 결합부이 특성을 알아내고 구조물 동특성 변경 및 개선안을 제시하는 최적설계를 위해 감도해석기법은 아주 유효하게 쓰일 수 있다. 한편 구조물의 대형화, 복잡화는 구조물 동특성 해석에 더욱 많은 계산시간과 용량이 큰 전자계산기를 필요로 하게 되었으며, 분계의 결합부위가 변경되거나 결합형태가 변했을 때 전계의 동특성을 다시 해석할 필요없이 분계만의 정보로부터 전계의 동특성을 알아낼 필요가 생겼다. 이러한 의미에서 구조물의 분계로부터 전계의 동특성을 해석을 위한 부분구조합성법이 대두되게 되었다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 감도해석과 부분구조합성법의 공통된 문제를 일치화하고자 하였다. 즉 감도해석기법을 이용하여 필요한 구조물의 동특성에 부합하는 결합부의 최적한 설계변수를 규명하였고 이렇게 구해진 결합부의 설계변수와 분계의 정보를 알고리즘이 비교적 간단하고 오차가 적은 축소임피던스 합성법에 적용하여 전계의 동특성을 해석함으로써 감도해석기법과 축소임피던스 합성법의 통합적용이 최적설계와 이에 따른 동특성 해석에 효과적인 방법임을 보이고자 하였다. 대상구조물은 구조물 결합의 기본적인 형태인 T형을 선택하였다. T형 구조물은 분계 A(16개의 사각요소)와 분계 B(8개의 사각요소)로 이루어져 있으며 두개의 스프링으로 결합되어 있다. 설계변수는 강성에 국한하였으며 결합부의 결합형태는 탄성결합과 강결합으로 하였다. 감도해석과 축소임피던스 합성법에 의해 구해진 고유진동수와 FRF를 상용 유한 요소 해석 패키지인 MSC/NASTRAN을 통하여 검증하여 이 연구의 타당성을 검토하였다.

In this paper, the RCF method is used in sensitivity analysis problems of the discrete power systems including both series FACTS equipments such as TCSC in transmission lines and generator controllers such as Exciter and PSS in generator terminal. To apply the RCF method in small signal stability problems of discrete power systems, state transition equations of controllers and TCSC are derived and the sensitivity calculation algorithm using state transition equations in discrete time domain is devised. The results of eigenvalue analysis showed that the variations of eigenvalues after periodic switching operations of TCSC can be calculated exactly by the RCF method and the change of firing angles in TCSC have important effect to determine the stability of power systems.

An efficient optimization procedure combining the frequency approximation technique and the component-mode synthesis method is proposed for the structural dynamic optimization of the large structures subject to prescribed natural frequency constraints. Frequency constraints are approximated by using the first-order sensitivities with respect to both design parameters and their reciprocals. The component-mode synthesis method proposed by the authors in Ref.[8] is used for the repetitive detail finite-element analysis and sensitivity analysis. The validity of the proposed optimization procedure is confirmed through the numerical implementation of some examples. The presented approximation technique requires much smaller number of repetitive analysis than that using the sensitivities with respect to design parameters only, and further improvement in the numerical efficiency is achieved by the adoption of the introduced component-mode synthesis.

We have derived an analytical expression for the sensitivity of the frequency domain small-loop electromagnetic (EM) surveys over a two-layer earth in order to estimate the depth of investigation with an instrument having the source-receiver separation of about 2 m. We analyzed the sensitivities to the lower layer normalized by those to the upper half-space and estimated the depth of investigation from the sensitivity analyses and the mutual impedance ratio. The computational results showed that the in-phase components of the sensitivity to the lower layer dominates those to the upper layer when the thickness of the upper layer is less than 20 m, while the quadrature components are not sensitive to the lower layer over the entire frequency range. Hence we confirmed that the accurate measurement of the in-phase component is essential to increase the depth of investigation in the multi-frequency small-loop EM survey. When conductive basement of 10 ohm-m underlies the upper layer of 100 ohm-m, an accurate measurement of the in-phase components ensures the depth of the investigation more than 10 m even accounting a noise effect, from which we conclude that the small-loop EM survey is quite effective in imaging the conductive plume down to a considerable depth. On the other hand, in the presence of the resistive basement of 1,000 ohm-m, the depth of investigation may not exceed 5 m considering the instrumental accuracy, which implies that the application of the small-loop EM survey is not recommended over the resistive environment other than detecting the buried conductor.

We evaluate the degradation of receiver sensitivity induced by direct and indirect exposure to solar irradiance in free-space optical communication systems. For this purpose, we calculate the variances of numerous noise components arising from solar irradiance, and then estimate the receiver sensitivity penalties for intensity-modulation/direct-detection and coherent systems. The results show that the penalties are less than 1.3 dB when indirect sunlight impinges on the detector, regardless of the system. However, the sensitivity penalties are estimated to be larger than 30 dB when the sunlight is directly incident upon the receiver. These penalties are barely reduced if we insert an optical polarizer, or if we adjust the bandwidth of an optical filter at the receiver to be as narrow as the signal's bandwidth.

In this paper, the sensitivity compensation method for three-dimensional acoustic intensity probe in the higher frequency range has been studied. The measurement error in the higher frequency range is generated from the phase mismatch between microphone's signals of the probe. If the wavelength of sound signal measured is less than those of the distance between microphones of the probe, that is, the higher frequency of the sound signal, the bigger measurement error is generated. In this study, we proposed the compensation methods for one-dimensional acoustic intensity probe with two-microphones, and the efficiency of those methods were investigated by numerical calculation of computer. It was most effective method to compensate the phase mismatch between microphone for the acoustic intensity probe was investigated for the sound estimated. and the efficiency of this method in a three-dimensional probe was investigated for the sound wave travelling in the arbitrary direction by numerical calculation of computer. In this result, the efficiency was proved that, for the measurement error of 1dB or less with the three-dimensional probe of 60mm space, the frequency should be less than 1.2kHz without the error compensation method, but the frequency increased up to 2.8kHz with the error compensation method.

In this paper, we induced that the noise powers and bit error rate of direct detection receiver taking account of ISI (intersymbol interference) in the 2,000 km optical transmission system. And we evaluated the sensitivity in the vrious bit rate system. We verified that the proposed calculation method is applicable to the exact optical system. And we confirmed that the signal distortion due to both chromatic dispersion and nonlinear effects compensated by using of MSSI (Mid-Span Spectral Inversion) method, and yet the sensitivity of a higher bit rate system is reduced, because of the increase of ISI and then the decrease of the average receiving power, compared with a the lower bit rate system.
