사면 안정해석은 현장 조사로부터 얻어지는 지반강도 정수의 역할이 매우 중요한 인자로 작용한다. 본 연구에서는 사면안정성 분석에서 입력변수들에 대한 상대적인 평가를 위하여 민감도 분석을 수행하였다. 설정된 입력 변수들은 사면의 경사, 점착력, 내부마찰각의 3가지 종류로 선별하였다. 사면안정해석은 기본적으로 한계평형으로 해석하였으며 수집된 현장자료를 이용하여 분석한 결과 확률변수들은 정규분포를 나타내는 것으로 나타났다. 몬테카를로 시뮬레이션을 이용하여 입력변수들을 발생시켰으며 붕괴된 암반사면을 이용하여 민감도 분석을 실시하였다. 분석결과 암반사면의 안전율은 예상보다 낮게 나타나는 것을 알 수 있었다. 민감도 분석 지수(PCC)를 이용하여 분석한 결과 사면 안전율에는, 점착력과 사면 경사가 매우 민감한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며 내부마찰각은 상대적으로 낮은 민감성을 띠는 것으로 분석되었다.

Shear strength parameters obtained from filed survey are important factors in the analysis of slope stability. In this study, sensitivity analysis was performed to evaluate the effect of input parameters on the analysis of slope stability. The input parameters selected for sensitivity analysis were slope angle, cohesion, and friction angle. Monte-Carlo Simulation method was used for calculating input parameters and the factor of safety was computed by means of limit equilibrium method. A rock slope, which has failed in the field, was used for the sensitivity analysis in the analysis of slope stability. The result of analysis shows that the factor of safety of the rock slope was a little low. From partial correlation coefficient(PPC) of input parameters determined from the sensitivity analysis, slope stability was dependant on cohesion and slope angle. The effect of friction angle was lower than that of cohesion and slope angle on slope stability.

Well-trained neural networks have low sensitivity to input errors. Also, the sensitivity to weigh errors must be considered when implementing neural networks with hardware of limited precision. In this paper, we derive the sensitivity of the Madaline to weight perturbation or input errors in terms of the trained weights, the input pattern, and the variance of weight perturbation or the probability of input errors. The result is verified with a simulation of the Madaline recognizing handwritten digits.

A new method for both local damage(s) identification and input excitation force identification of beam structures is presented using the dynamic response sensitivity-based finite element model updating method. The state-space approach is used to calculate both the structural dynamic responses and the responses sensitivities with respect to structural physical parameters such as elemental flexural rigidity and with respect to the force parameters as well. The sensitivities of displacement and acceleration responses with respect to structural physical parameters are calculated in time domain and compared to those by using Newmark method in the forward analysis. In the inverse analysis, both the input excitation force and the local damage are identified from only several acceleration measurements. Local damages and the input excitation force are identified in a gradient-based model updating method based on dynamic response sensitivity. Both computation simulations and the laboratory work illustrate the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed method.

The input energy to a base-isolated (BI) building during an earthquake is considered and formulated in the frequency domain. The frequency-domain approach for input energy computation has some notable advantages over the conventional time-domain approach. Sensitivities of the input energy to the BI building are derived with respect to uncertain parameters in the base-isolation system. It is demonstrated that the input energy can be of a compact form via the frequency integration of the product between the input component (Fourier amplitude spectrum of acceleration) and the structural model component (so-called energy transfer function). With the help of this compact form, it is shown that the formulation of earthquake input energy in the frequency domain is essential for deriving the sensitivities of the input energy to the BI building with respect to uncertain parameters. The sensitivity expressions provide us with information on the most unfavorable combination of the uncertain parameters which leads to the maximum energy input.

In this study, quantitative sensitivity analysis on rockfill material influencing the dam crest displacement of Concrete-Faced Rockfill Dam(CFRD) subjected to earthquake loading was carried out. The purpose of this study is to indicate the most important input parameter and to show the quantitative variation of displacement at the crest of CFR type dam during earthquake loading with this input parameter. From the sensitivity analysis, it was found that the crest displacement of CFR type dam subjected to dynamic loading was absolutely affected by the shear modulus of rockfill material and the effect of friction angle of it was negligible. This relative difference of sensitivity was more outstanding in case of crest settlement than in case of crest horizontal displacement. Also, it was found that the extent of effect of shear modulus on the displacement at the crest of CFRD due to dynamic loading decreased as maximum amplitude of input acceleration increased.

To establish area specific control strategies for the reduction of the ozone concentration, the Ozone Isopleth Plotting Package for Research(OZIPR) model has been widely used. However, the model results tend to changed by various input parameters such as the background concentration, emission amount of NOx and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), and meteorological condition. Thus, sensitivity analysis should be required to ensure the reliability of the result. The OZIPR modeling results for five local government districts in the Seoul Metropolitan Area (SMA) in June 2000 were used for the sensitivity analysis. The sensitivity analysis result showed that the modeling result of the SMA being VOC-limited region be still valid for a wide range of input parameters' variation. The estimated ozone concentrations were positively related with the initial VOCs concentrations while were negatively related with the initial NOx concentrations. But, the degree of the variations at each local district was different suggesting area specific characteristics being also important. Among the five local governments, Suwon was chosen to identify other variance through the period from April to September in 2000. The monthly modeling results show different ozone values, but still showing the characteristics of VOCs-limited region. Limitations due to not considering long range transport and transfer from neighbor area, limitation of input data, error between observed data and estimated data are all discussed.

This paper proposes a sensitivity technique for analysis of the relationships between input variables (known values) and output variables(unknown values), These design variables are constrained by design equations. Thus, the output variables can be calculated by solving the equations with eliminating the input variables from the equations because the input variables become constants. If the output variables are not satisfied, the values of the input variables must be adjusted by increasing or decreasing the values and then the problem must be solved again. This is called as the iterative design procedure. The sensitivity technique, presented in this paper, gives the sensitivity on the changes of the values of the output variables to the input variables.

A sensitivity analysis of FDS(Fire Dynamics Simulator) results for the input uncertainty of heat release rate (Q) which might be the most influencing parameter to fire behaviors was performed. The calculated results were compared with experimental data obtained by the OECD/NEA PRISME project. The sensitivity of FDS results with the change in Q was also compared with the empirical correlations suggested in previous literature. As a result, the change in the specified Q led to the different dependence of major quantities such as temperature and species concentrations for the over- and under-ventilated fire conditions, respectively. It was also found that the sensitivity of major quantities to uncertain value of Q showed the significant difference in results obtained using the previous empirical correlations.

본 연구의 목적은 수치해석을 이용한 정량적 민감도분석으로부터 지진하중을 받는 CFRD 정상부 침하량 변화의 주 영향인자를 찾고, 주 영향인자 변화에 따른 침하량의 변화양상을 고찰하고, 이로부터 지진하중을 받는 CFRD 정상부 침하량을 근사적으로 추정하는 방법을 제안하는 데 있다. 대형삼축압축시험으로부터 얻어진 사력재료 물성을 통계 분석하여 사력재료 물성 통계특성값을 산정하고, 산정된 통계특성값을 이용하여 작성된 27개 해석단면에 대해 해석조건을 달리한(2개 지진파, 각 지진파별 2가지 가속도 크기) 총 108개 CFRD 해석단면에 대한 동적수치해석을 수행, 그 결과를 이용한 정량적 민감도분석을 수행하였다. 민감도분석 결과, 지진하중 작용 시 CFRD 정상부 침하량은 입력 물성 중 전적으로 사력재료의 전단탄성계수에 의존하는 것으로 나타났고 점착력과 마찰각의 영향은 미미하였다. 민감도분석 결과와 전단탄성계수 변화에 따른CFRD 동적해석 결과로부터, 사력재료의 전단탄성계수와 간단한 댐 정보를 이용하여 지진하중 작용시 CFRD 정상부 침하량을 근사적으로 추정하는 방법을 제안하였다.
