Due to the recent increase in new and renewable energy, gas turbine generators start and stop every day to supply high-quality power, and accordingly, the life span of high-temperature parts is shortened and the failure of combustion chamber temperature sensors increases. Therefore, in this study, we proposed a fuzzy logic-based failure diagnosis algorithm that can accurately diagnose and systematically detect the failure of the sensor when the dual temperature sensor used for gas turbine control fails, and to confirm the usefulness of the proposed algorithm We tried to confirm the usefulness of the proposed algorithm by performing various simulations under the matlab/simulink environment.

Generally, steel corrosion occurs in concrete structures due to carbonation in down-town area and underground site and it propagates to degradation of structural performance. In general diagnosis and inspection, only carbonation depth in sound concrete is evaluated but unsound concrete such as joint and cracked area may occur easily in a concrete member due to construction process. In this study, field survey of carbonation for RC columns in down-town area is performed and carbonation depth in joint and cracked concrete including sound area is measured. Probability of durable failure with time is calculated through probability variables such as concrete cover depth and carbonation depth which are obtained from field survey. In addition, service life of the structures is predicted based on the intended probability of durable failure in domestic concrete specification. It is evaluated that in a RC column, various service life is predicted due to local condition and it is rapidly decreased with insufficient cover depth and growth of crack width. It is also evaluated that obtaining cover depth and quality of concrete is very important because the probability of durable failure is closely related with C.O.V. of cover depth.

As the urban railroad durability period law has revised on march 19, 2009, the life cycle of urban railroad cars has lengthened to 40 years for the longest period. It seems to be attributed to the development of railroad car making technique along with their durability being longer thanks to the quality improvement of their materials and parts. As the stability of urban railroad cars is directly linked to the safety of passengers, safety should be considered first, and more precise examination is necessary for endurance extension. Hereupon, the rolling stocks with their durability near expiration should get precise diagnosis following the revised "RDG for urban railroad cars" This study aims to suggest a diagnosis method for the institute and the urban railroad operating body which enforce the revised diagnosis, through the case of Busan transportation corporation which firstly started the revised diagnosis after the durability related law has been revised.

In the decision-making, such as selection of structure, construction method, or time and scheme of maintenance, the evaluation of life-cycle cost(LCC) is of great importance. The maintenance cost occupy a large portion of the LCC of the railway track as well as the initial construction cost. Futhermore, the proportion of the maintenance cost is much higher in the ballasted track. Thus, the importance of the LCC evaluation is higher than in any other engineering structures. In this study, a LCC model that can consider various design parameters such as the type of track structure, annual traffic volume, axle load, train speed, and proportion of curve sections and engineering structures has been developed. Fundamental data for calculating costs also have been presented. Based on the model and data proposed, the trends in the variation of LCC according to the design parameters were examined and the most important design parameters in the LCC analysis of railway track were investigated. The results show that the proportion of renewal and operational costs is much higher in the ballasted track than in the concrete track, and the annual traffic volume and ballast taming period are most significant factors on the LCC of the ballasted track. On the contrary, it is revealed that the proportion of the initial construction costs in the concrete track is much higher, and the LCC of the concrete track is less sensitive to the traffic volume, train speed, and axle load.

In general, electric submersible pumps (ESPs), which have an average life of 1.0 to 1.5 years, experience a decrease in performance and a reduction in life of the pump depending on oil and gas reservoir characteristics and operating conditions in wells. As the result, the failure of ESP causes high well workover costs due to retrieval and installation, and additional costs due to shut down. In this study, a flow loop system was designed and established to predict the life of ESP in long­term operation of oil and gas wells, and the life cycle data of ESP from the time of installation to the time of failure was acquired and analyzed. Among the data acquired from the system, flow rate, inlet and outlet temperature and pressure, and the data of the vibrator installed on the outside of ESP were analyzed, and then the performance status according to long-term operation was classified into five stages: normal, advice I, advice II, maintenance, and failed. Through the experiments, it was found that there was a difference in the data trend by stage during the long­term operation of the ESP, and then the condition of the ESP was diagnosed and the failure of the pump was predicted according to the operating time. The results derived from this study can be used to develop a failure prediction program and data analysis algorithm for monitoring the condition of ESPs operated in oil and gas wells.

For the implementation of a smart factory, it is necessary to collect data by connecting various sensors and devices in the manufacturing environment and to diagnose or predict failures in production facilities through data analysis. In this paper, to predict the residual useful lifetime of milling insert used for machining products in CNC machine, weight k-NN algorithm, Decision Tree, SVR, XGBoost, Random forest, 1D-CNN, and frequency spectrum based on vibration signal are investigated. As the results of the paper, the frequency spectrum does not provide a reliable criterion for an accurate prediction of the residual useful lifetime of an insert. And the weighted k-nearest neighbor algorithm performed best with an MAE of 0.0013, MSE of 0.004, and RMSE of 0.0192. This is an error of 0.001 seconds of the remaining useful lifetime of the insert predicted by the weighted-nearest neighbor algorithm, and it is considered to be a level that can be applied to actual industrial sites.

1990년 이후 영국, 미국, 캐나다, 뉴질랜드 등의 국가들에 대형 전력회사들은 발전, 송ㆍ배전 및 판매 분야를 분할하여 전력산업을 재편성하여 왔다〔1, 2〕. 물론, 국내에서도 2001년 4월 한국전력공사로부터 발전부분이 분할됨으로써 구조조정이 시작되었다. 전력산업의 이러한 변화와 더불어 전력품질 향상에 대한 수용자의 요구가 증가함으로써, 전력회사들은 송전선로를 증설을 하지 않고 기존 설비를 경제적으로 관리하는 효율적인 방법을 모색하기 시작했다. (중략)

In this paper a method for estimating the 'service life' and 'residual life' of a water pipe based on the Water Pipe Network Performance Evaluation(WPNPE) results of Water Supply Technical Diagnosis was developed for efficient maintenance of water pipes. The residual life of a pipe was defined as the difference between the service life and elapsed time since installation. The service life was defined as the time when a pipe reaches the reference score for determining deteriorated pipes that was used in the WPNPE. The pipe evaluation criteria and deterioration scores used in the WPNPE for the case study area were considered as independent variables in the multiple regression model for estimating the service life and residual life of the pipes in the area. To estimate the service life for the pipes the reference scores for determining deteriorated pipes were used as the values of the variables that represent the deterioration scores in the constructed regression models. Subsequently, the statistics of the service life and residual life of the pipes in the case study area were presented and analyzed in comparison with the service life defined by the Local Public Enterprizes Act.

일정 지역 교량 붕괴 DB를 활용하여 붕괴 원인을 파악하고 붕괴율과 붕괴확률을 결정하였다. 붕괴 원인을 타연구와 비교하였으며 주요 원인은 수압에 의해 발생함을 알 수 있었다. 매년 발생가능한 교량 붕괴율은 1/4,700정도 였으며, 이 수치는 미국 전역에 적용 가능할 것으로 추정한다. 현행 교량설계법과 비교하기 위해 설계수명 75년 동안의 파괴확률을 계산한 결과 1/63정도로서 LRFD 설계법에서 제시하는 파괴확률 1/5,000보다 높았다. 붕괴된 교량의 준공시점과 설계법 변천에 따른 붕괴율 차이는 확인하기 어려웠다. 미국 전체 교량에 대해 붕괴율을 적용한 결과 매년 87건에서 222건 정도의 붕괴가 발생할 것으로 예상한다.
