  • A high-speed railway system represents a typical example of large-scale multi-disciplinary system, consisting of subsystems such as rolling-stock, electrical hardware, electronics, control, information, communication, civil technology etc. The system design and acquisition data of the large-scale system must be the subject under strict configuration control and management. Systems engineering technology development project for Korea next generation High-speed Electric Multiple Unit (HEMU) system in progress is a national large system development project that is not only a large-size and complex but also multi-disciplinary in nature. Therefore, all stakeholders must understand and share the functional and performance requirements of HEMU throughout its life-cycle phases. Also in the test and evaluation phase, all systems requirements must be verified. In 2011, the prototype train manufacturing will be completed. It will do test run on the commercial line and all systems requirements are verified until 2012. For the system verification, the test and evaluation process have to be established before the test trial run. Using a systems engineering tool, the system design database(SDD) with requirements traceability and development process management in the course of the development have to be established. This paper represents the test and evaluation process development based on the SEMP(Systems Engineering Management Plan) developed in the design stage. The test and evaluation process is refined and updated in comparison to the design stage one. The test and evaluation process consists of procedure, test and evaluation method and schedule. So through this process, it is defined that each systems requirements is verified on which test and about what time.

  • In recent years, various information technologies including ubiquitous computing technology have been developed and deployed. The more ubiquitous services based on ubiquitous technology have widely been spread, the more evaluation methods of those services are required. In this study, we suggest a framework for evaluating ubiquitous services by identifying evaluation factors and their relative importances. Combining review of related works and experts' opinions on the evaluation, we calculate the factors affecting ubiquitous service evaluation and relative importances among those factors using fuzzy Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP). We conduct a case study to illustrate the applicability and feasibility of the suggested framework.

  • This study aimed to design the accelerated life testing (ALT) of concrete, which stimulating the special natural environment maximumly. Its evaluation indexes, such as dynamic elastic modulus, mass and ultrasonic velocity were measured, and the variation of relative mass and relative dynamic elastic modulus of concrete were studied. Meanwhile, the microanalysis method was used. Moreover, an exploratory application of the stochastic approach, the Weibull distribution and the lognormal distribution, were made to assess the durability of concrete structures. The results show that the ALT for simulating natural environment is more close to the service process of concrete structure under actual conditions; The relative dynamic elastic modulus can be used as the dominant durability evaluation parameters, because it is more sensitive to the environmental factors compared with the relative quality evaluation parameters; In the course of the concrete deterioration, the destruction of the salt freezing cycle is the dominant factor, supplemented by other factors; Both of those two stochastic approaches can be used to evaluate the reliability of concrete specimens under the condition of ALT; By comparison, The lognormal distribution method is better to describe the reliability process.

  • To investigate the comparative susceptibility of E. coli and S. aureus strains isolated from Korean foods to sanitizer/disinfectants, the bactericidal efficacies of sodium hypochlorite and benzalkonium chloride were assessed by quantitative suspension tests in both 'clean' and 'dirty' conditions, respectively. The sanitizers/disinfectants achieved over 5-log reduction in viable counts of all strains at the tolerance exemption concentration, except in the case of S. aureus exposure to sodium hypochlorite under dirty condition. There were no significant differences in the susceptibility of antibiotic-resistrant and antibiotic-sensitive isolated strains to the sanitizers/disinfectants (p>0.05).

  • In order to evaluate fatigue endurance for an MTB(mountain bike) frame, FEM(finite element method) analysis was performed. For evaluating the fatigue endurance of the MTB frame, the S-N data for Al-6061 fillet weldment were compared with the stress analysis results through FEM analysis of the frame. Three loading condition, pedalling, horizontal and vertical loading conditions were considered for fatigue endurance evaluation. Horizontal loading(+1200 N) condition was found to be the most severe to the frame. The maximum von Mises stress of the frame under horizontal loading(+1200 N) condition was determined 294 MPa through FEM analysis of the frame. Conclusively, on the basis of fatigue strength of 200 MPa at the number of cycles of 50,000, the MTB frame has an improper safety factor of approximately 0.25, suggesting that this frame needs reinforcement.
