Book Design Sensitivity Analysis for Nonlinear Dynamic Thermoelastic Systems

Download or read book Design Sensitivity Analysis for Nonlinear Dynamic Thermoelastic Systems written by Daniel Anthony Tortorelli and published by . This book was released on 1988 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Two adjoint formulations are developed for the design sensitivity analysis of linear and nonlinear dynamic thermoelastic systems. The variation of a general design functional is expressed in explicit form with respect to variations of the design quantities, i.e. material properties, applied loads, prescribed boundary conditions, initial conditions, and shape. The design functional is expressed in terms of these explicit quantities and the implicit response variables: displacement, temperature, stress, strain, heat flux vector, temperature gradient, reaction forces, and reaction surface flux. The convolution is employed, in lieu of the time mappings used in other approaches to account for transient response. The design sensitivities for dynamic thermoelastic, nonlinear uncoupled dynamic thermoelastic problems are presented here for the first time. The use of the convolution for sensitivity analysis is also presented here for the first time. By formulating these sensitivities, numerical optimization algorithms currently used for elastostatic structure redesign, can be applied to nonlinear dynamic thermoelastic systems. Sensitivities for linear elastodynamic and dynamic thermoelastic problems are derived by incorporating the reciprocal theorem between a variation of the real design and an adjoint system. The Lagrange multiplier method is utilized to formulate sensitivities for nonlinear uncoupled dynamic thermoelastic problems. These formulations may also be specialized for linear and nonlinear transient conduction problems. The finite element method is used to demonstrate the numerical implementation of the formulations. Shape sensitivities are evaluated and compared with finite difference calculations to validate the results. A numerical optimization algorithm is combined with the sensitivity analyses to redesign the geometry of a mold in a casting problem and the shape of structure whose response is governed by a nonlinear quasi-static thermoelastic system.

Book Sensitivity Analysis  Matrix Methods in Demography and Ecology

Download or read book Sensitivity Analysis Matrix Methods in Demography and Ecology written by Hal Caswell and published by Springer. This book was released on 2019-04-02 with total page 308 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This open access book shows how to use sensitivity analysis in demography. It presents new methods for individuals, cohorts, and populations, with applications to humans, other animals, and plants. The analyses are based on matrix formulations of age-classified, stage-classified, and multistate population models. Methods are presented for linear and nonlinear, deterministic and stochastic, and time-invariant and time-varying cases. Readers will discover results on the sensitivity of statistics of longevity, life disparity, occupancy times, the net reproductive rate, and statistics of Markov chain models in demography. They will also see applications of sensitivity analysis to population growth rates, stable population structures, reproductive value, equilibria under immigration and nonlinearity, and population cycles. Individual stochasticity is a theme throughout, with a focus that goes beyond expected values to include variances in demographic outcomes. The calculations are easily and accurately implemented in matrix-oriented programming languages such as Matlab or R. Sensitivity analysis will help readers create models to predict the effect of future changes, to evaluate policy effects, and to identify possible evolutionary responses to the environment. Complete with many examples of the application, the book will be of interest to researchers and graduate students in human demography and population biology. The material will also appeal to those in mathematical biology and applied mathematics.

Book Parameter Sensitivity in Nonlinear Mechanics

Download or read book Parameter Sensitivity in Nonlinear Mechanics written by Michael Kleiber and published by . This book was released on 1997-05-12 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are various methods for the analysis and design of bodies subject to static and dynamic loadings in structural and solid mechanics. Sensitivity analysis is concerned with the relationship between parameters, describing the structure under consideration and the function describing the response of that structure under loading conditions. This book addresses the finite element computational techniques typical of sensitivity analysis for solid mechanics systems with any nonlinearity. It is an attempt to combine theoretical modelling techniques with effective computer implementation: besides the theory many suitable finite element codes have been developed by the authors and used for computing examples discussed in the text.

Book Sensitivity of Automatic Control Systems

Download or read book Sensitivity of Automatic Control Systems written by Efim Rozenwasser and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2019-04-30 with total page 456 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although it arose much earlier in a variety of contexts, sensitivity theory became an independent branch of science in the sixties. Since then, researchers from around the world have continued to make great strides in both the theory and its applications. However, much of the work of Russian scientific schools and specialists remain unknown in the West. Sensitivity of Control Systems summarizes the results of the authors and their disciples in sensitivity theory, addressing the basic notions of the theory and the problem of selecting technical parameters of systems. The authors formulate problems for actual technical systems and their models, and establish relations between sensitivity theory and classical stability problems. They offer a significant, general theory for investigating the sensitivity of boundary problems and use elements of this theory for sensitivity analysis of solutions to nonlinear programming and variational calculus problems, as well as oscillatory processes. The book also presents general investigation methods for discontinuous systems, including those described by operator models. Full of powerful new methods and results, this book offers a unique opportunity for those in theoretical investigation and in the design, testing, and exploitation of various control systems to explore the work of Russia's leading researchers in sensitivity theory. Furthermore, its techniques for parametric perturbation investigation, Sensitivity of Control Systems will prove useful in fields outside of control theory, including oscillation theory, motion dynamics, and mathematical economy.

Book Sensitivity Methods in Control Theory

Download or read book Sensitivity Methods in Control Theory written by L. Radanović and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2014-06-28 with total page 457 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sensitivity Methods in Control Theory is a collection of manuscripts presented as the Third International Symposium of Sensitivity Analysis, held at Dubrovnik, Yugoslavia on August 31-September 5, 1964, sponsored by The Theory Committee of International Federation of Automatic Control. Sensitivity theory or sensitivity analysis concerns the solution of problems associated with parameter variations within the general scope of control theory. This book is organized into five parts encompassing 30 chapters. Part I presents some basic approaches of sensitivity analysis, such the Lyapunov's theory of stability, invariant imbedding, nonlinear sampled data, and linear time-varying systems. This part also looks into the preliminary steps towards the development of game theory and some general applications of sensitivity analysis. Part II treats the problem of accuracy, reliability, self-adjustment, and optimization of sensitivity of automatic control systems, while Part III deals with the functional derivative technique of sensitivity analysis and its applications for designing self-adjusting control systems. Part IV describes the task of synthesizing control systems for linear plants with variable parameters satisfying specified performance criteria. Part V considers the association between sensitivity and optimality in various control systems. This book will prove useful to design and other specialized fields in engineering.

Book Global Sensitivity Analysis

Download or read book Global Sensitivity Analysis written by Andrea Saltelli and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2008-02-28 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Complex mathematical and computational models are used in all areas of society and technology and yet model based science is increasingly contested or refuted, especially when models are applied to controversial themes in domains such as health, the environment or the economy. More stringent standards of proofs are demanded from model-based numbers, especially when these numbers represent potential financial losses, threats to human health or the state of the environment. Quantitative sensitivity analysis is generally agreed to be one such standard. Mathematical models are good at mapping assumptions into inferences. A modeller makes assumptions about laws pertaining to the system, about its status and a plethora of other, often arcane, system variables and internal model settings. To what extent can we rely on the model-based inference when most of these assumptions are fraught with uncertainties? Global Sensitivity Analysis offers an accessible treatment of such problems via quantitative sensitivity analysis, beginning with the first principles and guiding the reader through the full range of recommended practices with a rich set of solved exercises. The text explains the motivation for sensitivity analysis, reviews the required statistical concepts, and provides a guide to potential applications. The book: Provides a self-contained treatment of the subject, allowing readers to learn and practice global sensitivity analysis without further materials. Presents ways to frame the analysis, interpret its results, and avoid potential pitfalls. Features numerous exercises and solved problems to help illustrate the applications. Is authored by leading sensitivity analysis practitioners, combining a range of disciplinary backgrounds. Postgraduate students and practitioners in a wide range of subjects, including statistics, mathematics, engineering, physics, chemistry, environmental sciences, biology, toxicology, actuarial sciences, and econometrics will find much of use here. This book will prove equally valuable to engineers working on risk analysis and to financial analysts concerned with pricing and hedging.
