This study is intended to propose a system reliability analysis model for R.C. bridge superstructures based on the systems reliability theory. Approximately assuming that the ultimate capacity of the superstructures is reached, when two adjacent girders fail subsequently, a practical system reliability model is proposed, which is based on a point estimate for Level II parallel-series system modelling. The sensitivity analysis of system reliabilities for the variation of the coefficients of correlations between the failure modes is performed by applying the proposed model for R.C. T beam bridges. It is observed that the point estimate method for the proposed model corresponds to the average value of the Ditlevsen's bound, and the system reliability index, ${\beta}_s$, varies quite sensitively according to the variation of the cofficients of correlations. Systems reliabilities of a few existing T beam bridges are analyzed by applying the proposed practical system reliability method of this study, and, in addition, the preferable direction of the development of the reliability-based code calibration using the system target reliability index concept are suggested.

일반적으로 제어시스템은 독립된 기능을 갖는 전자제어모듈들로 구성되고, 제어시스템의 보수에 있어서 최소 교체단위가 전자제어모듈이기 때문에 제어시스템의 신뢰성을 평가하는 것은 전자제어모듈의 신뢰성을 평가하는 것으로부턴 출발한다. 전자모듈의 신뢰성을 평가할 때 주로 사용하는 평가척도는 MTBF이고, 제조업체에서는 일반적으로 MIL-HDBK-217의 수명예측방법을 이용하여 산출한 MTBF를 제시하고 있다. 하지만 현장의 구매자들은 물론 전자모듈을 개발하는 엔지니어도 MIL-HDBK-217 데이터를 이용한 계산만으로 산출한 MTBF가 실제 사용할 때와 큰 차이가 없는지 확인하기를 원한다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 요구에 따라서 MIL-HDBK-217의 수명예측 방법을 이용하여 예측한 수명을 가속수명시험을 통하여 보증하는 방법을 제시하고, 제시한 방법을 실제 국내에서 제작한 2종류의 전자제어모듈에 적용한 사례를 기술하였다. 국내에서 제작한 2종류의 전자제어모듈에 대하여 본 논문에서 제시한 보증시험방법에 따라서 시험한 결과 신뢰수준 60%에서 예측 수명을 보증할 수 있었고, 보증시험 후에 수명을 추정하기 위하여 추가적으로 장시간 시험하여 수명을 추정한 결과 추정된 수명이 MIL-HDBK-217을 이용하여 예측된 수명에 비하여 2.86∼3.40배길게 나타났다.

It is a convention to use 5% significance level when a statistical test is employed for clinical data. But when a confidence interval is used for testing equivalence, 90% confidence interval has often been used. When $1-{\alpha}$ confidence interval is used for hypothesis testing, its significance level is often ${\alpha}$. So it makes a confusion that the significance level is 10% if 90% confidence interval is employed for testing equivalence. In this paper I will clarify this issue by reviewing relevant papers and conducting simulation studies. I hope that it will be beneficial to statisticians in pharmaceutical companies, CROs, university hospitals.

본 논문에서는 원자로 제어봉제어계통에서의 제어 소프트웨어의 신뢰성평가 내용을 기술한다. 안전필수 플랜트의 하나인 원전에 사용되는 제어기기는 높은 수준의 신뢰성을 요구하고 있는데 지금까지 하드웨어에 대한 신뢰성은 객관적인 평가 방법이 제시되어 활용되고 있으나 소프트웨어의 타당한 신뢰성 평가는 여전히 난제로 남아 있다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 평가 모델의 하나를 적용하여 원자로 제어봉제어계통의 전력함 소프트웨어를 평가해본다. 그러나 평가방법에서 예측되는 바와 같이 평가결과의 불확실 정도의 크기로 비추어 볼 때 실제 안전필수 산업분야에서의 실적용을 판단하기 위한 객관적인 신뢰성 척도로 사용되기는 여전히 어렵다고 판단된다.

Design optimization is a method to find optimum point which minimizes the objective function while satisfying design constraints. The conventional optimization does not consider the uncertainty originated from modeling or manufacturing process, so optimum point often locates on the boundaries of constraints. Reliability based design optimization includes optimization technique and reliability analysis that calculates the reliability of the system. Reliability analysis can be classified into simulation method, fast probability integration method, and moment-based reliability method. In most generally used MPP based reliability analysis, which is one of fast probability integration method, if many MPP points exist, cost and numerical error can increase in the process of transforming constraints into standard normal distribution space. In this paper, multiplicative decomposition method is used as a reliability analysis for RBDO, and sensitivity analysis is performed to apply gradient based optimization algorithm. To illustrate whole process of RBDO mathematical and engineering examples are illustrated.

Trust is becoming one of the critical forces that drive consumers into purchases in e-marketplaces, as consumers face uncertainty associated with buying online from unknown sellers. In this paper we propose a consumer trust model specifically designed for an online marketplace. It aims at examining how intermediary and site characteristics of an e-marketplace affect factors of trustworthiness, and understanding the relationship between trustworthiness factors and trust in intermediary. Findings from an empirical analysis indicate that both intermediary and site characteristics are positively associated with factors of trustworthiness - namely, competence, integrity, and benevolence. In addition, all the three factors of trustworthiness were found to have positive relationship with overall trust in intermediary; in particular, integrity had higher association with trust than the other two factors. The paper concludes with suggestions for building consumer trust for the owners of online marketplaces.

The objective of this paper is to develop a rational reliability analysis procedure for the LRFD design provisions of bridge substructures. A bridge abutments is considered in this study. The reliability analysis is applied to determine the relationship between the major design parameters for bridge abutment and reliability index. The considered load components include dead load, vertical and horizontal earth pressure, earth surcharge, and vehicle live load. Several limit states are considered: foundation bearing capacity, sliding, and overturning. The analysis results show that the most important parameter in the reliability analysis is the effective stress friction angle of the soil. The reliability indices are calculated using Monte Carlo simulations for a selected bridge abutment. The results of the sensitivity analysis indicate that reliability index is most sensitive with regard to resistance factor and horizontal earth pressure factor.
