... on correlation level between RP and CS and to build the regression model. Then global sensitivity analysis (Sobol) and local sensitivity analysis (MIV and Garson) are introduced to demonstrate RP quantitative influences on CS and select main RP for characterizing contact performance. The research shows (1...

... the mechanical properties in such applications. In this paper, a numerical technique is proposed that can identify the mechanical properties using optimization and evaluate the robustness of identified material properties using sensitivity analysis. First, two response surfaces are constructed for loading...

...Sang-Joon Yoon, Research Professor,; Dong-Hoon Choi, Professor, This paper proposes an analytical design sensitivity analysis (DSA) to topological parameters of MGL (molecular gas film lubrication) sliders by introducing an adjoint variable method. For the analysis of slider air bearings, we used...
