Electrical resistivity tomography (ERT) is a traditional and representative geophysical method for determining the resistivity distributions of surrounding soil and rock volumes. Depth resolution profiles and sensitivity distribution sections of the resistivities with respect to various electrode configurations are calculated and investigated using numerical model data. Shallow vertical resolution decreases in the order of Wenner, Schlumberger, and dipole-dipole arrays. A high investigable depth in homogeneous medium is calculated to be 0.11-0.19 times the active electrode spacing, but is counterbalanced by a low vertical resolution. For the application of ERT depth resolution profiles and sensitivity distributions, we provide subsurface structure models for two types of land-creping failure (planar and curved), subvertical fracture, and weathered layer over felsic and mafic igneous rocks. The dipole-dipole configuration appears to be most effective for mapping land-creeping failure planes (especially for curved planes), whereas the Wenner array gives the best resolution of soil horizons and shallow structures in the weathered zone.

Contingency analysis is one of the most important tasks encountered by planning and operation of lafe scale power systems. This paper describes a new contingency analysis methods for small signal security assessment based on the eigen-sensitivity/perturbation of the electromechanical oscillation modes. The eigen-sensitivity/perturbation with respect to line suceptances and controller parameters can he used to find possible sources of the system instability, and to select contingency for small signal stability. Also, the contingency selection to identify critical generators for MW changes can be obtained by computing the relative movement of the system oscillation modes. The proposed algorithm has been successfully tested on the KEPCO systems which is comprised of 791-bus, 1575-branch and program PSS/E

This paper presents a practical methodology that can analysis power flow and marginal factors based on optimal power flow (OPF) of power systems under restructuring environment. First of all, to evaluate useful marginal factors, nonlinear optimization problems of minimum fuel cost and minimum transmission loss are formulated and solved by nonlinear primal-dual interior point method. Here, physical constraints considered in the optimization problems are the limits of bus voltage. line overloading, and real & reactive power generation. Also, an evaluation method of marginal price and marginal transmission loss is presented based on sensitivities calculated by the two OPF problems. Especially, to reflect the cost related to transmission losses in the competitive electricity market, an analysis method of MLF (marginal loss factor) is pro-posed. Numerical results on IEEE RTS 24 show that the proposed algorithm is effective and useful for analysis of power market price.

This paper presents a new economic load dispatch considering atmospheric emissions such as NOx and SO$_2$caused by the operation of fossil-fueled thermal generation in power systems. The proposed method is described for scheduling their output of thermal power units so as to comply with total emission constraint, area emission constraint and the both of those constraints. Also, by using a trade-off curve, representing all dispatch alternatives and conflict between the emission and the fuel cost, the sensitivity analysis of the emission and the fuel cost is applied to this algorithm. By the way, this proposed method is analyzed how dispatch changes as a function of the total environmental cost, and as a function of the relative weighting of individual environmental insults, e.g, NOx and SO$_2$. By applying the proposed method to the system, the usefulness of this method is verified.

In this study, magnetic concentrators which could be used to enhance sensitivity of Hall effect sensor were analyzed by using FEM. The parameters for FEM analysis were the thickness and edge shape of magnetic concentrator and relative position of magnetic concentrator against Hall element. Magnetic field in z direction decreased with increasing of the thickness of magnetic concentrator, of which tendency was similar to apparent relative permeability calculated with demagnetizing factor of magnetic concentrator. There were optimal thickness and edge shape of magnetic concentrator according to the relative position of magnetic concentrator against Hall element.

진동가속도를 감지하는 힘평형 서보 가속도계의 성능특성을 결정하는 질량지지 장치를 4개의 팔로 구성된 형태로 설계하고 응답특성을 조사하였다. 스프링의 길이, 폭, 두께에 따른 질량지지 장치의 응답특성을 유한요소법을 이용하여 계산하고, 이를 바탕으로 힘평형 서보 가속도계의 감도, 사용주파수 범위 및 동적 범위를 예측하였다. 그리고 레이저 간섭계를 이용하여 힘평형 서보 가속도계의 각각의 진동 주파수 및 가속도의 크기에 따른 간섭무의 수의 변화와 이때의 응답전압간을 이용하여 가속도계의 응답특성을 측정하였으며, 수치해석을 통해 얻은 결과와 비교 분석하였다.

This study proposed the method of the multi-crack detection using the sensitivity coefficient matrix which is calculated from the change of eigenvalues and eigenvectors before and after the crack. Each crack is modeled by a rotational springs. The method is applied to the cantilever beam with miulti-crack. The eigenvalues and eigenvectors are determined for different crack locations and depths. The prediction of multi-crack detection are in good agreement with the results of structural reanalysis.

This paper is discussing the Optimum Structural Modification by the Sensitive Analysis Method. The mokificxation for the first Mouth Open Mode of the C type structure was done by using coordinate sensitivities and thickness sensitivities. The results obtained are as follows; 1. the vibration could be minimized by reducing multiples of mode components of impact point and response point. 2. the tooling precision of the Press machine could be minimized by reducing relative vibration amplititutes between the tool and the object to be tooled. 3. the mode componets of 2 points could be identified by using the coordinate sensitivites for the C type structure. 4. the mode components of 2 points could be iodentified by using the thickness sensitivities for the C type structure.

This study proposed the analysis of mass position detection and modified stiffness due to the change of the mass and stiffness of structure by using the original and modified dynamic characteristics. The method is applied to examples of a cantilever and 3 degree of freedom by modifying the mass. The predicted detection of mass positions and magnitudes are in good agreement with these from the structural reanalysis using the modified mass.

Receiving sensitivity of the power gain by using Soret typed FZPL antenna should be worse when obliquely incident wave is illuminated on the FZPL. To solve this problem, elliptic Fresnel Zone Plate Lens antenna system should be introduced. Some numerical results computed by PO method are compared with Kirchhoff's approximation and measurement result.
