The demands for additional functionalities and improvements in performance of software increase over time. In particular, increases in software complexity and requirements for quality control attributed to continued maintenance lead to the deterioration of software quality and raises in software life cycle costs. In order to prevent this, software operators have to conduct timely redevelopment of the software. However, the scope of previous studies on timely redevelopment of software is limited to enterprises. We, in this study, suggest a model to derive the optimal cycle for the redevelopment of governmental agency software using Renewal process and discuss its correlation with previous studies.

LNG고압펌프계통은 천연가스 고압 송출에 있어 가용도가 매우 중요한 계통이다. 본 연구에서는 현재 적용되고 있는 예방(계획)정비주기를 가용성 측면에서 재검토했다. 확률적인 운전대수와 운전 및 보전 형태에 연관된 여러제약이 고려할 때 계통 불가용도를 정량화하기 위하여 시뮬레이션 기법을 적용했다. 중도 절단된 형태의 펌프 수명 데이터를 분석해 욕조형의 고장율 함수를 도출했으며 보수시간 데이터를 분석해 확률분포모수를 구했다. 또한 주요 펌프부대설비에 대해서는 상수형의 고장율과 보전율을 도출했다. 분석된 확률모수를 작성된 시뮬레이션 모형에 입력하고 과거의 운전대수 시나리오를 설정해 실험한 결과와 실제 보수 및 운전 자료를 비교해 모형의 유효성을 보였다. 그리고 차후 예상되는 운전요구대수 시나리오를 기정하고 각 예방정비주기별로 반복 실험하여 계통의 불가용도를 보이고 적합한 예방정비주기를 도출했으며 펌프부품 교체비용의 기대 절감액을 보였다.

합리적인 교량 대안선정을 위해서는 설계 시 경제성, 경관성, 안전성 및 기능성, 유지관리 용이성, 시공성 등 다양한 속성을 고려하여야 한다. 이 중 경제성은 초기비용뿐만 아니라 공용수명에 걸쳐 발생하는 유지관리비용, 보수 보강비용, 해체 폐기비용 등의 합인 총 생애주기비용에 대해 최소의 비용으로 최상의 가치를 창출하도록 하여야 한다. 본 연구에서는 건설계획과정에서 대표적으로 고려될 수 있는 대안으로 세 가지 교량 형식(강상자형교, 소수주형교, PSC-I형 거더교)을 대상구조물로 선정하고 교량의 공용수명은 상태등급곡선으로부터 추정한 내하율 곡선을 사용하여 산정하였다. LCC최적설계를 위해 설계변수, 제약조건, 목적함수를 구성하였고, 총 생애주기비용을 공용수명으로 나눈 연간생애주기비용을 사용하여 하여 합리적인 교량의 경제성 분석을 수행하였다.

Effects of human error relevant to the periodic test are incorporated in the evaluations of the unavailability and optimal test interval of a safety system. Two types of possible human error with respect to the test and maintenance are considered. One is the possibility that a good safety system is inadvertently left in a bad state after test（Type A human error) and the other is the possibility that a bad safety system is undetected upon the test（Type B human error). An event tree model is developed for the steady-state unavailability of a safety system in order to determine the effects of human errors on the system unavailability and the optimal test interval. A reliability analysis of the Safety Injection System (SIS) was peformed to evaluate the effects of human error on the SIS unavailability. Results of various sensitivity analyses show that ; (1) the steady-state unavailability of the safety system increases as the probabilities of both types of human error increase and it is far more sensitive to Type A human error, (2) the optimal test interval increases slightly as the probability of Type A human error increases but it decreases as the probability of Type B human error increases, and (3) provided that the test interval of the safety injction pump is kept unchanged, the unavailability of SIS increases significantly as the probability of Type A human error increases but slightly as the probability of Type B human error increases. Therefore, to obtain the realistic result of reliability analysis, one should take shorter test interval (not optimal test interval) so that the unavailability of SIS can be maintained at the same level irrespective of human error. Since Type A human error during test & maintenance influeces greatly on the system unavailability, special efforts to reduce the possibility of Type A human error are essential in the course of test & maintenance.

앞으로 진행되는 배전계통의 자유화 환경에서 각 배전사업자들은 고객에게 높은 신뢰수준의 전력을 값싸게 공급하려 할 것이다. 높은 수준의 신뢰수준을 유지하기 위해서 배전계통내의 component의 점검을 통하여 고장의 원인이 될 만한 것들을 찾아내고 고장이 일어나기 전에 그것을 유지보수 하여야 한다. 이 문제는 대상 Component를 얼마나 자주 점검 및 보수를 해야 하는가 라는 문제가 된다. 하지만 그에 따른 비용도 소요가 될 것이다. 본 논문에서는 점검 과 보수 과정의 model을 Markov model로 사용하였으며 대상 Component의 상태에 따라서 다른 보수 기법을 적용함으로써 점검비용과 보수비용 정전비용을 최소화하는 점검 주기를 찾았다. 또한 제안된 방법을 실제 시스템과 유사한 모의시스템에 적용하였다.

The first driving device of the power bogies for the Korean high-speed railway vehicle consists of the traction motor (TM) and the motor reduction gears unit (MRU). Although TM and MRU are the mechanically integrated structures, their time between overhauls (TBO) have two separate intervals due to different technical requirements(i.e. TBO of MRU: $1.8{\times}10^6km$, TBO of TM: $2.5{\times}10^6km$). Therefore, to reduce the unnecessary number of preventive maintenances, it is important to evaluate the optimal TBO with a viewpoint of reliability-center maintenance towards cost-effective solution. In this study, derived from the field data in maintenance, fault tree analysis and failure rate of the subsystem considering criticality of the components are evaluated respectively. To minimize the conventional total maintenance cost, the same optimal TBO of the components is derived from genetic algorithm considering target reliability and improvement factor. In this algorithm, a chromosome which comprised of each individual is the minimum preventive maintenance interval. The fitness function of the individual in generation is acquired through the formulation using an inverse number of the total maintenance cost. Whereas the lowest common multiple method produces only a four percent reduction compared to what the existing method did, the optimal TBO of them using genetic algorithm is $2.25{\times}10^6$km, which is reduced to about 14% comparing the conventional method.

This study present an optimum deck and girder system design for minimizing the life-cycle cost (LCC) of orthotropic steel deck bridges. The problem of optimum LCC design of orthotropic steel deck bridges is formulated as that of minimization of the expected total LCC that consists of initial cost, maintenance cost, expected retrofit costs for strength, deflection, and fatigue. To demonstrate the effect of LCC optimum design of orthotropic steel deck bridges, the proposed optimum LCC design is compared with the conventional method for orthotropic steel deck bridges design. From the numerical investigations, it may be positively stated that the proposed optimum design procedure for orthotropic steel deck bridges based on the LCC will lead to more rational, economical and safer design.

There are two main parts to improve the quality and the efficiency of railway service. One is to acquire the system with high RAMS performance and the other is to keep it up. Therefore we need to specify RAMS requirements in the system specifications and verify them. In addition, it is necessary to monitor RAMS and to make operation and maintenance policies based on RAMS. This article presents RAMS centered maintenance procedure of which target is to continuously achieve the inherent RAMS performance of the acquired system. The method to evaluate the effect on RAMS and the conceptual optimal model for determining maintenance interval are also proposed.

After the KTX operation Korail has been making great effort to reliability settlement through RCM. Also maintenance cycle and method optimization for normal speed rolling stock field are lively same as high-speed rolling stock. In this paper maintenance techniques for new model electric locomotive are introduced. To find the optimal maintenance method, locomotive inspection cycle for advanced country are examined and other electric locomotive inspection cycle are compared. As a result the present time inspection cycle is totally focusing on safety aspect so the economical efficiency is quite low. Through this research optimal maintenance technique will be accomplished in the end of year 2008.

최적 노심장전모형을 찾기 위한 확률론적 방법중 하나인 Simulated Annealing 방법은 기존 결정론적 방법의 단점인 국부 최적해에 빠질 위험성을 줄이면서도 빠른 시간 안에 최적 노심장전 모형을 찾을 수 있다. 그러나 많은 장전모형의 핵특성을 계산하기 위해서는 많은 전산시간이 소요되기 때문에 이의 해결 방법으로 신경망이론 이용한 노심해석을 통하여 시간을 극소화하고, 기존의 섭동이론 등 가속화된 방법에 비해 정확도를 높였다. 영광 3호기 평형노심에 적용한 결과 기존 설계된 장전모형에 비하에 더 보수적인 제한치를 만족하면서도 주기길이가 33EFPD 만큼 길어지는 장전모형을 1시간 이내에 찾을 수 있어 기존의 결정론적 방법이나 다른 핵특성 계산 모델을 사용한 SA법에 비해 더 적은 전산시간 동안 정확한 최적해를 탐색하는 것을 확인하였다.
