  • This paper presents a new web cluster scheme based on dispatcher which does not depend on operating system for server and can examine server's status interactively. Two principal functions are proposed for new web cluster technique. The one is self-controlled load distribution and the other is transaction fail-safe. Self-controlled load distribution function checks response time and status of servers periodically, then it decides where the traffic goes to guarantee rapid response for every query. Transaction fail-safe function can recover lost queries including broken transaction immediately from server errors. Proposed new web cluster scheme is implemented by C language on Unix operating system and compared with legacy web cluster products. On the comparison with broadcast based web cluster, proposed new web cluster results higher performance as more traffic comes. And on the comparison with a round-robin DNS based web cluster, it results similar performance at the case of traffic processing. But when the situation of one server crashed, proposed web cluster processed traffics more reliably without lost queries. So, new web cluster scheme Proposed on this dissertation can give alternative plan about highly increasing traffics and server load due to heavy traffics to build more reliable and utilized services.

  • Autonomous vehicles using V2X can drive safely information on areas outside the sensor coverage of autonomous vehicles conventional autonomous vehicles. As V2X technology has emerged as a key component of autonomous vehicles, research on V2X security is actively underway research on risk analysis due to failure of V2X communication is insufficient. In this paper, the service scenario and function of autonomous driving system V2X were derived by presenting the intersection scenario of the autonomous vehicle, the malfunction was defined by analyzing the hazard of V2X. he ISO26262 Part3 process was used to analyze the risk of malfunction of autonomous vehicle V2X. In addition, a fault injection scenario was presented to verify the fail-safe of the simulation-based intersection scenario.

  • This paper presents the new MR rotary brake with a permanent magnet, based on the shear operating mode. Due to the permanent magnet, the MR rotary brake can give the nominal resistance to the external disturbance and give the fail safe capacity to the system even when the power supply is accidentally cut off. As we apply the positive or negative current to the electric magnet coil, the resistance torque of the MR rotary brake can be reduced to the value less than the nominal resistance or increased up to the magnetic saturation point.

  • 본 논문은 정보 여분(Information Redundancy)에서의 에러 검출 코딩(Error Detect Coding) 기법을 이용하여 3-out-of-6 자체 검사기를 설계하고, 주기적인 코드(Frequency Coding) 주입을 통해 고장-안전 제어 논리를 모델링 했다. 고장-안전 제어 논리 모듈과 TMR(Triple Modular Redundancy)의 단일 모듈간에 대해서 신뢰성 병렬 수치 해석을 수행하였고, 이때 고장-안전 제어 논리가 기존의 하드웨어 여분 기법보다 시스템 소모비용과 기능적 오버헤드가 감소되어 기능신뢰성이 증가되는 결과를 얻었다.

  • 철도 신호제어장치들은 각자 고유기능을 수행함으로써 철도시스템의 안전운행을 도모하고 있다. 따라서 대부분의 신호장치는 바이탈한 제어장치로서 안전측 동작(Fail-safe)을 보장하기 위하여 기존에는 기계적 또는 전기적인 계전기 로직에 의해 각 장치 고유의 기능을 수행하였다. 그러나 최근에 들어 전자, 컴퓨터, 통신 기술의 발달에 따라 철도신호제어장치들도 전자화된 장치들로 대체되어가고 있는 추세이다. 이처럼 신호제어장치들이 전자화되어감에 따라 각 장치간 인터페이스를 위한 링크도 디지털 통신채널로 대체되어가고 있다. 따라서 이러한 각 장치간 인터페이스를 위한 통신링크에 대한 중요성이 증대되고 있다.

  • AFLS (Adaptive front lighting system) is being applied to improve safety in driving automotive at night. Safe embedded system design for controlling head-lamps is required to improve noise robust ECU hardware and software simultaneously by considering safety requirement of hardware-dependent software under severe environmental noise. In this paper, we propose an adaptive headlight controller with a newly-designed symmetric angle sensor compensator, especially based on the proposed steering-swivel angle lookup table to determine whether the current controlling target is safe. The proposed system includes an additional backup hardware to compare the system status and provides safe swivel-angle management using a controlling algorithm based on the pre-defined lookup table (LUT), which is a symmetric mapping relationship between the requested steering angle and expected swivel angle target. The implemented system model shows that the proposed architecture effectively detects abnormal situations and restores safe status of controlling the light-angle in AFLS operations under severe noisy environment.

  • Fatigue, the birth and growth of cracks in metal parts subjected to repeated loading, has been a problem plaguing engineers since the Industrial Revolution and the advent of rotating or reciprocating machinery. Designing against metal fatigue was studied briefly in several aspects. Examples of fatigue failures were shown. Fatigue was classified by loading: uniaxial Fatigue, multiaxial fatigue, cumulative fatigue da¬mage. Fatigue design criteria were discussed: Infinite-Life Design, Safe-Life Design, Fail-Safe Design, and Damage Tolerant Design. Mitigation of notch effects by design, improvement of fatigue strength of metal parts by residual stress and surface finishing were discussed. Relative fatigue beha¬vior was studied under various environmantal conditions. Especially the effects of corrosion, temperature, fretting, and irradiation were covered.
