The failure of cooling system in Superconducting Fault Current Limiter(SFCL) increases the impedance of superconducting device, and due to malfunction of inner switches the SFCL opens the distribution system inadvertently when required to do so. In this paper, the ground fault and short circuit fault were classified as active failure and the open circuit fault was passive failure. A reliability model of SFCL considers the passive failure as well as active failure, and in the case study the reliability indices of distribution system are evaluated. It is possible that the reliability evaluation excluded passive failure makes the customers reliability seem so worse than it really was. Therefore, the reliability models of SFCL must include the active failure and passive failure together to evaluate the reliability of distribution system connected SFCL.

The extent by which economy and safety concerns can be addressed in earth retaining structure design depends on the accuracy of the assumed failure surface. Accordingly, this study attempts to investigate and quantify mechanical backfill properties that control failure surface geometry of cohesionless backfills at the active state for translational mode of wall movements. For this purpose, a small scale 1 g physical model study was conducted. The experimental setup simulated the conditions of a backfill behind a laterally translating vertical retaining wall in plane strain conditions. To monitor the influence of dilative behavior on failure surface geometry, model tests were conducted on backfills with different densities corresponding to different dilation angles. Failure surface geometries were identified using particle image velocimetry (PIV) method. Friction and dilation angles of the backfill are calculated as functions of failure stress state and relative density of the backfill using a well-known empirical equation, making it possible to quantify the influence of dilation angle on failure surface geometry. As a result, an empirical equation is proposed to predict active failure surface geometry for cohesionless backfills based on peak dilatancy angle. It is shown that the failure surface geometries calculated using the proposed equation are in good agreement with the identified failure surfaces.

표면이 거친 강성옹벽의 경우 뒷채움재에서 발생하는 아칭효과로 인해 옹벽에는 비선형의 토압분포가 작용하며, 아칭효과가 비선형의 토압분포에 미치는 영향은 옹벽의 변위 형태에 따라 달라진다. 따라서 강성옹벽에 작용하는 주동토압의 크기와 비선형의 토압분포를 정확하게 산정하기 위해서는 옹벽의 변위형태에 따라 달라지는 뒷채움재에 서 발생하는 실제적 인 파괴면 형상과 아칭효과를 고려해야만 한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 강성옹벽이 저점을 중심으로 회전하는 경우에 뒷채움재에서의 아칭효과와 비선형의 파괴면 형상을 고려함으로써 비선형의 주동토압을 산정할 수 있는 토압산정식을 제안하였다. 이 과정에서 토압산정식이 수학적으로 복잡해지는 것을 피하기 위하여 뒷채움재에서 발생하는 비선형의 파괴면 형상은 4개의 직선으로 구성되는 가상의 파괴면으로 대체하였다. 그리고 제안식으로부터 구한 예측치를 기존의 모형시험 결과와 비교한 결과 제안식은 만족스런 토압 예측치를 제공하는 것으로 나타났다.

Background : Medical equipments take a very important role in diagnosis and treatment of disease in modern medicine and effective maintenance of the equipments is a necessary to provide a good health care to the public. After developing a new QC program for effective maintenance of medical equipments and practicing it for a year, we report the results of the new program. Methods : The maintenance data of 9 equipments in 8 categories including a CT Scanner were analyzed with regard to the parts responsible for most frequent failure and cause of the failure. After learning the most frequent failure part and cause of the failure, we developed a new QC program that emphasizes preventive maintenance of the most frequent failure part. We compared the number of failure per year and active rate of each equipment before and after the adoption of the new QC program. Results : The average number of failure per year per equipment was 20.7 before and it decreased by 43% to 11.9 after adoption of the new QC program. The average active rate of the equipments was 92.6% before and it increased by 3.2% to 95.8% after adoption of the new program. Conclusions : The practice of the new QC program appears very useful as it decreased the failure rate and increased the active rate of the equipments.

In the note a comprehensive and optimal passive-active mode for describing the limit failure of circular shallow tunnel with settlement is put forward to predict the catastrophic stability during the geotechnical construction. Since the surrounding soil mass around tunnel roof is not homogeneous, with tools of variation calculus, several different curve functions which depict several failure shapes in different soil layers are obtained using virtual work formulae. By making reference to the simple-form of Power-law failure criteria based on numerous experiments, a numerical procedure with consideration of combination of upper bound theorem and stochastic medium theory is applied to the optimal analysis of shallow-buried tunnel failure. With help of functional catastrophe theory, this work presented a more accurate and optimal failure profile compared with previous work. Lastly the note discusses different effects of parameters in new yield rule and soil mechanical coefficients on failure mechanisms. The scope of failure block becomes smaller with increase of the parameter A and the range of failure soil mass tends to decrease with decrease of unit weight of the soil and tunnel radius, which verifies the geomechanics and practical case in engineering.

In this paper, we consider confidence limits for steady state availability of a redundant structure with the function of switchover processing. The system considered in this paper consists of three units which are an active unit, a standby unit and a switchover device. A control module does not affect the performance of the system while the active unit is operating but causes the system failure if the active unit fails at the failure of the control module. The effect of failure of control module is included in our reliability model of the simple redundant structure. The availability of the system is obtained by using the state space method. An example is given to illustrate our results.

옹벽의 벽면이 거친 경우에 강성옹벽에 작용하는 주동토압의 크기와 분포형태는 뒷채움재의 내부마찰각과 옹벽의 벽면마찰각 뿐만 아니라 뒷채움재에서 발생하는 아칭효과와 파괴면의 형상에도 영향을 받는다. 따라서 강성옹벽에 작용하는 주동토압의 크기와 비선형의 분포형태를 정확히 산정하기 위해서는 토압 산정 시 뒷채움재에서 발생하는 아칭효과와 실제적인 파괴면의 형상을 고려해야 한다. 본 연구에서는 강성옹벽이 옹벽의 정점을 중심으로 회전하는 경우에 대하여 뒷채움재에서의 아칭효과와 실제적인 비선형의 파괴면 형상을 고려함으로써 비선형의 주동토압을 산정할 수 있는 토압산정식을 제안하였다. 그리고 제안식에 대한 정확도를 검증하기 위하여 제안식으로부터 얻어진 예측치들을 기존의 모형시험 결과들과 비교한 결과 제안식은 만족스런 토압 예측치를 제공하는 것으로 나타났다.

본 논문에서는 능동형 RFID 리더를 위한 EPCglobal Reader Manegement (RM) 기반 관리기능을 제안하고 구현하였다. RFID 리더의 관리기능을 이용하면 기존의 리더 프로토콜만으로는 불가능했던 RFID 리더의 진단을 구체적으로 할 수 있으며 RFID 리더에 이상이 발생하였을 경우 빠르게 문제를 확인할 수 있다. 또한 제안된 프로세스를 사용하여 단계적으로 진단 할 경우 RFID 리더의 상태 이상을 단계적으로 구체적으로 확인하여 상태 이상의 범위를 추정할 수 있다. 이는 리더의 빠른 복구에 도움을 주어 상태 이상으로 인한 손실을 줄이고 RFID 리더의 QoS를 높일 수 있다. 또한 구현된 RFID 리더의 관리 가능이 성능면에서 LLRP의 관리 메시지와 비교하였을 때 비슷한 크기의 메시지 크기를 보여 부하도 상대적으로 크지 않으며 관리면에서 세분화 된 정보 확인이 가능함을 확인하였다.

It is necessary, in the light of the importance of long-term slope stability problem, to develop a simple method or tool which can figure out the possible failure zone resulted from weathering effect and other factors. The FBG sensor system is used to estimate the correlations between the temperature and the slope in Kimhae, and to find a failure zone in slopes effectively. This research is to seek for the correlation between the soil temperature distribution and the strain distribution in a active zone by analyzing the data from the in-situ measurement so that the possible failure zone should be well defined based on the correlation. For instance, the zone of high temperature fluctuation can be regarded as one of the possible sliding zone due to the weathering effect while the constant temperature depth of the ground, if exists would not be relatively affected by the weathering process.

This study describes structural reliability analysis of actively-controlled structure for which random vibration analysis is incorporated into the first-order reliability method (FORM) framework. The existing approaches perform the reliability analysis based on the RMS response, whereas the proposed study uses the peak response for the reliability analysis. Therefore, the proposed approach provides us a meaningful performance measure of the active control system, i.e., realistic failure probability. In addition, it can deal with the uncertainties in the system parameters as well as the excitations in single-loop reliability analysis, whereas the conventional random vibration analysis requires double-loop reliability analysis; one is for the system parameters and the other is for stochastic excitations. The effectiveness of the proposed approach is demonstrated through a numerical example where the proposed approach shows fast and accurate reliability (or inversely failure probability) assessment results of the dynamical active control system against random seismic excitations in the presence of parametric uncertainties of the dynamical structural system.
