In this work variations of orbital parameters are first derived from the perturbation equations using difference equation method under Earth oblateness and atmospheric drag. A simple and effective scheme is proposed to compute the required delta v and fuel consumption to compensate for atmospheric drag. The scheme is applied to KOMPSAT example. And by means of numerical simulations we quantitatively analyze influences due to each perturbation source, i.e., nonspherical Earth, atmospheric drag, third body gravities (Sun, Moon), and solar radiation.

The semi-analytic sensitivity analysis using Pade approximation is presented for linear elastic structures. Although the semi-analytic method has several advantages, accuracy of the method prevents it from practical application. One of promising remedies is the use of geometric series for the matrix inversion. Though series expansion of order three has been successfully applied to the calculation of the structural sensitivity in the most range of the design perturbation, it is prone to have a slow convergence for large perturbation. To overcome this shortage, Pade approximation is introduced so that it can broaden the trust region of the perturbation without adding expansion terms. Numerical results show that the confident sensitivity can be obtained with tiny expenses of computation effort.

A general formulation of the design optimization problem with the random parameters is presented here. The formulation is based on the stochastic finite element second-order perturbation method ; it takes into full account of the stress and displacement constraints together with the rates of change of the random variables. A method of direct differentiation for calculating the sensitivity coefficients in regard to the governing equation and the second-order perturbed equation is derived. A gradient-based nonlinear programming technique is used to solve the problem. The numerical results are specifically noted, where the stiffness parameter and external load are treated as random variables.

We have developed a practical method for estimating high-energy x-ray spectra using measured attenuation curves. This method is based on the iterative perturbation technique proposed by Waggener et al. The principle is to minimize the difference between the measured and calculated transmission curves. The experimental study was made using 4 MV, 10 MV, and 15 MV x-ray beams. It has been found that the spectrum varies strongly with the off-axis distance.

This paper proposes a method to calculate the stiffness and the damping coefficients of the coupled journal and thrust bearings. The Reynolds equations and their perturbation equations are transformed to the finite element equations by considering the continuity of pressure and flow at the interface between bearings. The Reynolds boundary condition is used in the numerical analysis to simulate the cavitation phenomena. The dynamic coefficients of the proposed method are compared with those of the numerical differentiation of the loads with respect to finite displacements and velocities of bearing center. It shows that the proposed method is more accurate and efficient than the differentiation method.

The response sensitivity method in time domain has been applied extensively for damage identification. In this paper, the relationship between the error of damage identification and the sensitivity matrix is investigated through perturbation analysis. An index is defined according to the perturbation amplify effect and an optimal sensor placement method is proposed based on the minimization of that index. A sequential sub-optimal algorithm is presented which results in consistently good location selection. Numerical simulations with a two-dimensional high truss structure are conducted to validate the proposed method. Results reveal that the damage identification using the optimal sensor placement determined by the proposed method can identify multiple damages of the structure more accurately.

In this study, the effect of oil supply conditions on the dynamic performance of a hydrodynamic journal bearing is analyzed numerically. Axial length, circumferential length and location of oil grooves are considered as oil supply conditions. The perturbation equations of the perturbed film contents are obtained by applying Elrod's universal equation implementing JFO film rupture / reformation boundary conditions to Lund's infinitesimal perturbation method. The dynamic coefficients of a hydrodynamic journal bearing are calculated by solving the perturbation equations, and the linear stability analysis is carried out by using those for a variety of oil supply conditions.

In this study, the mathematical model that describes blood cell development in the bone marrow (i.e., hematopoiesis) has been studied via the Homotopy Perturbation Method (HPM). The results from the present work compared very well with the numerical solutions from published literature. This work has shown that the HPM is viable for solving delay differential equations born from hematopoiesis problem. The influence of the proliferating cells loss rate, time delay rate and the phase re-entry rate on the population densities of both the proliferating and resting cells were also determined through the underlined procedure.

The complex permittivity and the linewidth of microwave ferrites are measured using the well known cavity perturbation method. The cavity perturbation method has been widely used for the measurement of complex permittivity and conductivity of low loss magnetic and dielectric materials at microwave frequencies. TT1-2000, TT73-2200, and G-113 samples ordered from Trans-Tech Inc, are tested. TE$_{103}$ and TE$_{106}$ rectangular waveguide cavities are fabricated and the ferrite sample of cylidrical rod and sphere shapes are prepared. The error between the measurement values and the supplier's data is less than 1 percent in case of $\varepsilon$’ and about 10 percent in case of linewidth ($\Delta$H). Worst case error analysis shows that our measured results are well within the error bound calculated from the accuracy specification of the measuring instruments.
