The channel irregularity of Successive Approximation ADC is very large in comparison with other type of ADCs. This characteristic makes it impossible to apply the Successive Approximation ADC to the field of radiation pulse height analysis or the measurement of probability density function. In this paper, an analysis of differential non-linearity of this ADC-is presented. It is made clear that the small deviation of resistance causes very large differential non-linearity.

General coil spring has linearity. However, disc spring has non-linearity so that using this non-linearity disc spring can be designed to do shock-absorbing in cases we need because shock response also has non-linearity. By changing the shape and stacking number, it is satisfactory with response of displacement, velocity and acceleration. Conventionally, disc spring was used to control the vibration against huge load and limited space. However, it is limitedly used because of difficulty of the designing guidance. Therefore, disc spring is needed to study further in order to apply it widely. Response of disc spring is compared to response of coil spring by changing ho/t radio with computer simulation and the usage of disc spring is increased through analysis of effect of design factors. The purpose of this paper is that the shock response of disc spring is calculated through numerical simulation and effect of ho/t and stiffness is analyzed to broad usage so that design factor of disc spring is presented.

Near-field earthquake records including long-period high-amplitude velocity pulses can cause large isolation system displacements leading to buckling or rupture of isolators. In such cases, providing supplemental damping in the isolation system has been proposed as a solution. However, it is known that linear viscous dampers can reduce base displacements in case of near-field earthquakes but at the potential expense of increased superstructure response in case of far-field earthquakes. But can non-linear dampers with different levels of non-linearity offer a superior seismic performance? In order to answer this question, the effectiveness of non-linear viscous dampers in reducing isolator displacements and its effects on the superstructure response are investigated. A comparison with linear viscous dampers via time history analysis is done using a base-isolated benchmark building model under historical near-field and far-field earthquake records for a wide range of different levels of non-linearity and supplemental damping. The results show that the non-linearity level and the amount of supplemental damping play important roles in reducing base displacements effectively. Although use of non-linear supplemental dampers may cause superstructure response amplification in case of far-field earthquakes, this negative effect may be avoided or even reduced by using appropriate combinations of non-linearity level and supplemental damping.

The paper presents a diagnostic tool for analyzing the bit intermodulation in D/A converter. Bit intermodulation cause linearity errors which degrade the performance of the converter. A linear transformation of the Walsh transform of the integrated non-linearity diagram is shown to be sufficient to extract the bit intermodulation terms and their noise sensitivity. Practical applicability of the proposed method is shown by measurement.

A numerical method and algorithms is proposed to perform optimization of non-linear response structures. An analytical and numerical method based finite element method is also proposed for the transformation of non-linear response into linear response. Loads transformed from this method are defined as the equivalent linear loads. With the loads and the transformed response, linear static optimization is performed for nonlinear response structure with geometric and/or material non-linearity. The results of the optimization are compared with them of typical non-linear response optimization using finite difference method. The proposed method is very efficient and derives good solution.

This paper proposes an Electronic Throttle Body (ETB) model considering a non-linearity of DC motor driver which is integrated with a H-bridge and a gate driver. A propagation delay and reverse recovery time of switching components cause non-linear characteristic of DC motor driver. This non-linearity affects not only the amateur voltage of DC motor, but also entire behaviour and parameters of ETB. In order to analyze the behavior of ETB more accurately, this non-linear effect of DC motor driver is modeled. The developed ETB model is validated by use of the step response and ramp response experiments, and it shows relatively accurate results compared with linear DC motor driver model.

The study deals with physical modeling of space frame-pile foundation and soil system using finite element models. The superstructure frame is analyzed using complete three-dimensional finite element method where the component of the frame such as slab, beam and columns are descretized using 20 node isoparametric continuum elements. Initially, the frame is analyzed assuming the fixed column bases. Later the pile foundation is worked out separately wherein the simplified models of finite elements such as beam and plate element are used for pile and pile cap, respectively. The non-linear behaviour of soil mass is incorporated by idealizing the soil as non-linear springs using p-y curve along the lines similar to that by Georgiadis et al. (1992). For analysis of pile foundation, the non-linearity of soil via p-y curve approach is incorporated using the incremental approach. The interaction analysis is conducted for the parametric study. The non-linearity of soil is further incorporated using iterative approach, i.e., secant modulus approach, in the interaction analysis. The effect the various parameters of the pile foundation such as spacing in a group and configuration of the pile group is evaluated on the response of superstructure owing to non-linearity of the soil. The response included the displacement at the top of the frame and bending moment in columns. The non-linearity of soil increases the top displacement in the range of 7.8%-16.7%. However, its effect is found very marginal on the absolute maximum moment in columns. The hogging moment decreases by 0.005% while sagging moment increases by 0.02%.

In this paper a new method to correct the differential non-linearity(D NL) error for a successive approximation is proposed. The DNL of ADC is very important characteristic in the field of radiation pulse height analysis or measurement of probability density function. The results of computer simulations are shown to demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed correction method.

This paper proposes a method of non-linearity error detection and calibration for binary-weighted charge-driven DACs. In general, the non-linearity errors of DACs often occur due to the mismatch of layout designs or process variation, even when careful layout design methods and process calibration are adopted. Since such errors can substantially degrade the SNDR performance of DAC, it is crucial to accurately measure the errors and calibrate the design mismatches. The proposed method employs 2 identical DAC circuits. The 2 DACs are sweeped, respectively, by using 2 digital input counters with a fixed difference. A comparator identifies any non-linearity errors larger than an acceptable discrepancy. We also propose a calibration method that can fine-tune the DAC's capacitor sizes iteratively until the comparator finds no further errors. Simulations are presented, which show that the proposed method is effective to detect the non-linearity errors and calibrate the capacitor mismatches of a 12-bit DAC design of binary-weighted charge-driven structure.
