This paper addresses the prediction of the material property continuities of a microstructure. Prediction was made by measuring the dynamic responses distribution of the fabricated materials used in the microstructures. When these distributional material properties were used in estimating the mechanical performances of microstructures, the differences between the computer simulation and the experimental result of microstructures could be reduced and their reliability design could be made.

This paper presents a seismic reliability analysis method for an offshore wind turbine with a twisted tripod support structure under earthquake loading. A three dimensional dynamic finite element model is proposed to consider the nonlinearity of the ground-pile interactions and the geometrical characteristics of the twisted tripod support structure where out-of-plane displacement occurs even under in-plane lateral loadings. For the evaluation of seismic reliability, the failure probability was calculated for the maximum horizontal displacement of the pile head, which is calculated from time history analysis using artificial earthquakes for the design return periods. The application of the subset simulation method using the Markov Chain Monte Carlo(MCMC) sampling is proposed for efficient reliability analysis considering the limit state equation evaluation by the nonlinear time history analysis. The proposed method can be applied to the reliability evaluation and design criteria development of the offshore wind turbine with twisted tripod support structure in which two dimensional models and static analysis can not produce accurate results.

최근 주목받고 있는 amorphous InGaZnO (a-IGZO) thin film transistors (TFTs)는 수소가 첨가된 비정질 실리콘 TFT (a-Si;H)에 비해 비정질 상태에서도 높은 이동도와 뛰어난 전기적, 광학적 특성에 의해 큰 주목을 받고 있다. 또한 넓은 밴드갭에 의해 가시광 영역에서 투명한 특성을 보이고, 플라스틱 기판 위에서 구부러지는 성질에 의해 플랫 패널 디스플레이나 능동 유기 발광 소자 (AM-OLED), 투명 디스플레이에 응용되고 있다. 하지만, 실제 디스플레이가 동작하는 동안 스위칭 TFT는 백라이트 또는 외부에서 들어오는 빛에 지속적으로 노출되게 되고, 이 빛에 의해서 TFT 소자의 신뢰성에 악영향을 끼친다. 또한, 디스플레이가 장시간 동안 동작 하면 내부 온도가 상승하게 되고 이에 따른 온도에 의한 신뢰성 문제도 동시에 고려되어야 한다. 특히, 실제 AM-LCD에서 스위칭 TFT는 양의 게이트 전압보다 음의 게이트 전압에 의해서 약 500 배 가량 더 긴 시간의 스트레스를 받기 때문에 음의 게이트 전압에 대한 신뢰성 평가는 대단히 중요한 이슈이다. 스트레스에 의한 문턱 전압의 변화는 게이트 절연막과 반도체 채널 사이의 계면 또는 게이트 절연막의 벌크 트랩에 의한 것으로 게이트 절연막의 선택에 따라서 신뢰성을 효과적으로 개선시킬 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 적층된 $Si_3N_4/SiO_2$ (NO 구조) 이중층 구조를 게이트 절연막으로 사용하고, 완충층의 역할을 하는 $SiO_2$막의 두께에 따른 소자의 전기적 특성 및 신뢰성을 평가하였다. a-IGZO TFT 소자의 전기적 특성과 신뢰성 평가를 위하여 간단한 구조의 pseudo-MOS field effect transistor (${\Psi}$-MOSFET) 방법을 이용하였다. 제작된 소자의 최적화된 $SiO_2$ 완충층의 두께는 20 nm이고 $12.3cm^2/V{\cdot}s$의 유효 전계 이동도, 148 mV/dec의 subthreshold swing, $4.52{\times}10^{11}cm^{-2}$의 계면 트랩, negative bias illumination stress에서 1.23 V의 문턱 전압 변화율, negative bias temperature illumination stress에서 2.06 V의 문턱 전압 변화율을 보여 뛰어난 전기적, 신뢰성 특성을 확인하였다.

This study presented the basic data for determining reasonable construction method and evaluating the structural safety of suspension bridges. The analytical program was developed to conduct initial shape and natural frequency analysis, construction stage analysis and reliability analysis considering construction sequences. This program was based on analysis models of suspension bridges and reliability theories used in the previous study. A construction method was established considering various construction variables such as construction order and construction direction of girder and synchronized construction of main and side span etc. The dynamic construction analysis by a construction scheme was conducted with the developed program. Benefits of the characteristic analysis by the construction scheme was presented estimating structural response of critical members respectively. Structural reliability analysis by construction stage was conducted considering aleatory uncertainties. The safety of suspension bridges by established construction method was quantitatively estimated using reliability index and failure probability. Analytical results were re-estimated considering epistemic uncertainties, and critical percentile distributions of risk at the construction stage were presented using the frequency histogram.

The design of avionic embedded systems requires high-dependability. In this paper, we studied the dependability of the triple modular redundancy (TMR) hardware for highly reliable aviation embedded system. In order to evaluate the dependability of the base ARM processor and the TMR ARM processor, we developed the simulation model of the reduced ARM and TMR ARM processors and performed the simulation fault injection for the analysis of the dependability of the two targets. In the fault injection experiments, we calculated the error recovery rate of the two the processor models. From the experimental results, we could confirm that the reliability of the TMR ARM processor was greater than the single ARM processor by ten times in some cases.

Deterministic design optimization (DO) does not explicitly deal with a variety of factors from inherent randomness and uncertainties. Reliability based design optimization(RBDO) is necessary to use in engineering systems in order to guarantee quality and performance of product. In this paper, design variables are considered as random variables. Standard deviation according to change of design variables have changed as much as coefficient of variation. And, if the standard deviation is error of manufacturing, standard deviation-mean relation is concave form. We obtain reliability index using advanced first order second moment method(AFOSM). This paper is examined by solving two examples and the results are compares with DO, RBDO and suggested RBDO.

This study is directed for the development of an efficient Importance Sampling Technique for system reliability analysis of bridge structures. Many methods have been proposed for structural reliability assessment such as the First-order Second-Moment Method, the Advanced Second-Moment Method, Monte Carlo Simulation, etc. The Importance Sampling Technique can be employed to obtain accurate estimates for the system reliability with reasonable computation effort. Based on the results of example analysis, it may be concluded that Importance Sampling Technique is a very effective tool for the system reliability analysis.

For the purpose of efficiently calculating the design sensitivity and the reliability for the complicated structures in which the structural responses or limit state functions are given by implicit form, the probabilistic finite element method is introduced to formulate the deterministic design sensitivity analysis method and incorporated with the second moment reliability methods such as MVFOSM, AFOSM and SORM. Also, the probabilistic design sensitivity analysis method needed in the reliability-based design is proposed. As numerical examples, two thin plates are analyzed for the cases of plane stress and plate bending. The initial yielding is defined as failure criterion, and applied loads, yield stress, plate thickness, Young's modulus and Poisson's ratio are treated as random variables. It is found that the response variances and the failure probabilities calculated by the proposed PFEM-based reliability method show good agreement with those by Monte Carlo simulation. The probabilistic design sensitivity evaluates explicitly the contribution of each random variable to probability of failure. Further, the design change can be evaluated without any difficulty, and their effect on reliability can be estimated quickly with high accuracy.
