The core issue of ethical problem solving in engineering is to understand what exactly happened and to define its nature. Problems often arise mostly in morally complex situations. Traditional philosophical theories usually focus on extreme conflicts of interest and suggest moral theory-centered problem solving methods. However, these methods are not only difficult to specifically apply to real situations, but also are likely to fail to deal with actual moral issues in engineering fields. This study aims to develop more desirable ethical problem solving methods, based on STS (Science and Technology Studies) and engineering ethics combined. First, we have examined the engineering ethics with implications of an STS perspective, then have analyzed traditional ethical problem solving methods in a critical point of view. This study will suggest a new ethical problem solving method named Matrix Guide, based upon those analyses. Specifically, this study classifies four stages of problem definition, analysis, solving, and feedback. Here, we focus on how to combine technological and non-technological factors in each stage, when we are facing morally complex situations in engineering sectors.

The estimation of wind speed values used in codes and standards is an integral part of the wind load evaluation process. In a number of codes and standards, wind speeds outside of tropical cyclone prone regions are estimated using a single probability distribution developed from observed wind speed data, with no distinction made between the types of causal wind hazard (e.g., thunderstorm). Non-tropical cyclone wind hazards (i.e., thunderstorm, non-thunderstorm) have been shown to possess different probability distributions and estimation of non-tropical cyclone wind speeds based on a single probability distribution has been shown to underestimate wind speeds. Current treatment of non-tropical cyclone wind hazards in worldwide codes and standards is touched upon in this work. Meteorological data is available at a considerable number of United States (U.S.) stations that have information on wind speed as well as the type of causal wind hazard. In this paper, probability distributions are fit to distinct storm types (i.e., thunderstorm and non-thunderstorm) and the results of these distributions are compared to fitting a single probability distribution to all data regardless of storm type (i.e., co-mingled). Distributions fitted to data separated by storm type and co-mingled data will also be compared to a derived (i.e., "mixed") probability distribution considering multiple storm types independently. This paper will analyze two extreme value distributions (e.g., Gumbel, generalized Pareto). It is shown that mixed probability distribution, on average, is a more conservative measure for extreme wind speed estimation. Using a mixed distribution is especially conservative in situations where a given wind speed value for either storm type has a similar probability of occurrence, and/or when a less frequent storm type produces the highest overall wind speeds. U.S. areas prone to multiple non-tropical cyclone wind hazards are identified.

본 논문에서는 차량에 사용되는 MDPS(Motor Driven Power Steering) 시스템에 사용되는 BLDC(Brush Less Direct Current) 모터 제어기의 파괴 시험에 적합한 테스트 케이스 생성 방법을 제시한다. 제안하는 방법은 입력 기반 테스트 방법의 하나인 CTM(Classification Tree Method)을 수정한 방법이다. CTM은 모든 입력의 중요도를 동등하게 가정하고 테스트 케이스를 생성하는 방법이다. 따라서 극한 상황과 같은 테스트 케이스를 생성하기 힘들다. 이와 같은 단점을 극복하고, 파괴 시험에 적합한 테스트 케이스를 생성하기 위해 CTM의 한계점을 보완한 변형된 CTM 재구성 방법을 제안한다. 제안하는 방법은 CTM의 장점을 유지하면서 CTM으로 만들어진 테스트 케이스를 조합하여 특정 상황의 테스트에 적합한 시나리오를 집중적으로 생성할 수 있는 장점을 가진다. 제안한 방식을 이용해 파괴 시험을 위한 테스트 시나리오를 생성하고, 이를 이용하여 승용차에 사용되고 있는 MDPS 시스템에 대한 테스트를 수행하여 제안한 방법의 유용성을 검증한다.

Recent alarming acceleration of global warming has made power generations using renewable energy to be in the middle of the spotlight. Korean government has also announced that it will make the related industry to be nation's one of main export items with high investments to low carbon green growth industry. To achieve this goal of exporting the renewable energy power generation system beyond domestic use, internationally acceptable rules should be applied and the three step processes of design, performance assessment and certification should follow international standards. Corresponding this international requests, IEC(International Electrotechnical Commission) is conducting the establishment of rules in TC88 for technical requirements of wind turbines. Design life-time of a wind turbine is required to be at least 20 years. In the meantime, the wind turbine will experience a lot of load cases such as extreme loads and fatigue loads which will include several typhoons per year and extreme gusts with 50 years recurrence period as well as endless turbulence flow. Therefore, IEC 61400-1 specifies design load cases to be considered in the wind turbine design and requires the wind turbine to withstand the load cases in various operational situations. It thus appears that the examination of contents and decisions discussed in the international standard committee will help people in the field of offshore wind energy and ocean energy converters.

An effectively designed budget system in the poor resources environment necessarily has three design criteria : (i) to be both planning-oriented and control-oriented, (ii) to be both rationalistic and realistic, (iii) to be sensitive to the variations of resources environment. PPB system is an extreme (planning-oriented and rationalistic) and conventional OEB/OUB system is the other extreme (control-oriented and incrementalistic). Generally, the merits of rationalism are limited because of the infeasibility of applications. Hence, mixtures of the two extremes such as MBO, ZBB, and RZBB have been examined and applied during the last decade. The classical mathematical models of capital budgeting are the starting points of the development of the Budget-Mix Model introduced in this paper. They are modified by the followings: (i) technological-resource constraints, (ii) bounded-variable constraint, (iii) the exchange rules. Special emphasis is laid on the above (iii), because we need more efficient interresource exchanges in the budget-mix process. The Budget-Mix Model is not based on optimization, but a heuristic approach which assures a satisficing solution. And the application fields of this model range between the incremental Nonzero-Base Budgeting and the rational Zero-Base Budgeting. In this thesis, the author suggests 'the budget- mix concept' and a budget-mix model. Budget-mix is a decision process of making program-mix and resource-mix together. For keeping this concept in the existing organization realistic, we need the development of quantitative models describing budget-mix situations.

In recent years, hazardous flash flooding has caused deaths and damage to infrastructure in Saudi Arabia. In this paper, our aim is to assess patterns and trends in climate means and extremes affecting flash flood hazards and water resources in Saudi Arabia for the purpose to improve risk assessment for forecast capacity. We would like to examine temperature, precipitation climatology and trend magnitudes at surface stations in Saudi Arabia. Based on the assessment climate patterns maps and trends are accurately used to identify synoptic situations and tele-connections associated with flash flood risk. We also study local and regional changes in hydro-meteorological extremes over recent decades through new applications of statistical methods to weather station data and remote sensing based precipitation products; and develop remote sensing based high-resolution precipitation products that can aid to develop flash flood guidance system for the flood-prone areas. A dataset of extreme events has been developed using the multi-decadal station data, the statistical analysis has been performed to identify tele-connection indices, pressure and sea surface temperature patterns most predictive to heavy rainfall. It has been combined with time trends in extreme value occurrence to improve the potential for predicting and rapidly detecting storms. A methodology and algorithms has been developed for providing a well-calibrated precipitation product that can be used in the early warning systems for elevated risk of floods.

A simulation of failures on responsible elements is only one form of the extreme structural behavior analysis. By understanding the dynamic behavior in incidental situations, it is possible to make a special structural design from the point of the largest axial force, stress and redundancy. The numerical realization of one such simulation analysis was performed using FEM in this paper. The boundary parameters of transient analysis, such as overall structural damping coefficient, load accelerations, time of load fall and internal forces in the responsible structural elements, were determined on the basis of the dynamic experimental parameters. The structure eigenfrequencies were determined in modal analysis. In the study, the basic incidental models were set. The models were identified by many years of monitoring incidental situations and the most frequent human errors in work with heavy structures. The combined load models of structure are defined in the paper since the incidents simply arise as consequences of cumulative errors and failures. A feature of a combined model is that the single incident causes the next incident (consecutive timing) as well as that other simple dynamic actions are simultaneous. The structure was observed in three typical load positions taken from the crane passport (range-load). The obtained dynamic responses indicate the degree of structural sensitivity depending on the character of incident. The dynamic coefficient KD was adopted as a parameter for the evaluation of structural sensitivity.

2016년 1월 4일부터 2022년 9월 27일까지의 일별 자료를 바탕으로, CoVaR 네트워크 연계성을 활용하여 BDI의 극단적인 움직임이 해운선사 네트워크 연계성에 미치는 영향을 분석했다. 주요 결과와 정책적 함의는 다음과 같다. 첫째, copula 모델 결과에 따르면, COSCO, HMM, HLAG, MAERSK, WAN은 Student-t copula가 가장 적합한 모델로 선정되었다. EVER는 시간가변적 Gumbel copula, YANG은 시간가변적 rotated-Gumbel copula로 선정되었다. 둘째, TVP-VAR 모델을 사용하여 분석한 결과, BDI의 극단적인 위험 상태로 변할 때 해운선사 간의 연계성이 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 순 연계성 비교에서는 COSCO와 EVER의 역할이 변화였다. 또한 순쌍별 연계성 분석에서, BDI의 극단적인 위험 상태 변화가 해운선사 연계성에도 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 특히, EVER, WAN, COSCO 등이 큰 변화를 보였다. 이를 종합하면, BDI의 극단적 변동은 아시아 해운선사들의 역할을 변화시키며, 해운선사 간의 경쟁을 심화시키고 위험 전달을 강화시켰습니다. BDI가 해운선사 네트워크 연계성에 큰 영향을 미치며, 주식시장 네트워크의 안정성에 중요한 영향을 미친다는 것을 확인했다. 따라서 이 연구 결과는 해운선사들이 시장 상황에 따라 연계성뿐만 아니라 극단적 상황에서의 연계성도 고려해야 해야한다.

Scrum is one of the most popular and efficient agile development methods. However, like other agile methods such as Extreme Programming (XP), Feature Driven Development (FDD), and the Dynamic Systems Development Method (DSDM), Scrum has been criticized because of lack of support to develop secure software. Thus, in 2011, we published research proposing the idea of a security backlog (SB). This paper represents the continuation of our previous research, with a focus on the evaluation in industry-based case study. Our findings highlight an improved agility in Scrum after the integration of SB. Furthermore, secure software can be developed quickly, even in situations involving requirement changes of software. Based on our experimental findings, we noticed that, when integrating SB, it is quite feasible to develop secure software using an agile Scrum model.

This paper is to build an economic production quantity model for situations, in which, during the stockout period, a fraction .betha.(backorder ratio) of the demand is backordered and remaining fraction (1-.betha.) is lost. This paper develops an objective function representing the average annual cost of a production system by defining a time-weighted backorder cost and a lost sales penalty cost per unit lost under the assumptions of deterministic demand rate and deterministic production rate, and provides an algorithm for its optimal solution. At the extreme .betha.= 1, the presented model reduces to the Fabrycky's model with complete backorders.
