This paper describes the development of a reliability-based optimum design technique for such three dimensional tubular frames as off shore structures. The objective function is formulated for the structural weight. Constraints that probability of failure for the critical sections does not exceed the allowable probability of failure are set up. In the evaluation of the probability of failure, fatigue as well as buckling and plasticity failure are taken into account and the mean-value first-order second-moment method(MVFOSM) is applied for its calculation. In order to reduce the computing time required for the repeated structural analysis in the optimization process, reanalysis method is also applied. Application to two and three dimensional simple frame structures is performed. The influence of material properties, external forces, allowable failure probabilities and interaction between external forces on the optimum design is investigated.

In this paper we study on a method to predict and to demonstrate the reliability of the Korea high speed train control system in quantitative point of view. For the prediction of the reliability in train control system which is composed of electronic parts, Relax Software 7.7 automation tool is employed and MIL-HDBK-217 Handbook that is a standard for the prediction of the failure rate in electronic components is used. Mean Time Between Failure (MTBF) is predicted based on the failure rate of the subsystems, State Modeling and Markov Modeling method is used to express a reliability function of the train control system composed by hardware redundancy as a function of time. We propose a Reliability Test which is performed on the level of the subsystems and Failure Report, Analysing, Correction action system which use the test operation data to prove the predicted reliability.

With the introduction of the RAMS(Reliability, Availability, Maintainability, Safety), the interest of the system assurance has been increased. First of all, fast-growing electronic circuit requires analyzing the failure rates, by dividing the signalling system more specifically. Since 2005, the K.N.R (Korean National Railway) has incorporated ERP(Enterprise Resource Planning) in order to establish the complete status as the top international comprise, therefore while ordering the project, it has established the classification system and then has been applying to ERP system in 2007. Due to the complex of the classification system, the reliability analysis of the signalling system was assessed with the limit of IXL ATP with On-board and wayside equipment. This paper assumed MTBF(Mean Time Between Failure), MTTR((Mean Time Between Repair) of total signalling system, by using the classification of ERP program.

Starting with the meaning of the word quality, diverse concepts connoted by the term are examined. Instead of a bathtub curve, the desirable shape of a failure rate covering the entire life of a good product, which might be called hockey-stick line, is introduced. From the hockey-stick line and the definition of reliability, two measurements are extracted. The terms r-reliability (failure rate) and durability (product life) are explained. The conceptual analysis of failure mechanics explains that reliability technology pertains to design area. The desirable shape of hazard rate curve of electronic items, hockey-stick line, clarifies that Mean-Time-to-failure (MTTF) as the inverse of failure rate can be regarded a nominal life. And Bx life, different from MTTF, is explained. Reliability relationships between components and set products are explained. Reshaped definitions of r-reliability and durability are recommended. The procedure to improve reliability and the reasons for failing to identify failure mode are clarified in order to search right solutions. And generalized Life-Stress failure model is recommended for the calculation of acceleration factor.

본 논문에서는 순차바이어스와 스위칭 타임 튜닝기법을 통한 반도체 송수신모듈(TRM : Transmitter and Receiver Module)의 강건성 향상 방법에 대해 기술한다. 기존의 회로설계는 TRM의 소형화로 인한 송신출력신호가 수신기로 유기되어 최소수신감도(MDS : Minimum Detection Signal) 개선에 초점을 맞추어졌으나, 평균고장시간(MTBF : Mean Time Between Failure)을 만족하지 못하고 빈번히 고장이 발생하는 문제가 있었다. 본 연구는 이러한 현상을 개선하는 방법으로 순차바이어스 및 스위칭 타임 튜닝기법을 제안한다. 첫 번째로 주요 고장증상 수집 및 원인을 추론하였으며, 두 번째로 개선방법을 도출하고 시스템에 적용하여 효과를 검증하였다. 제안한 방법을 적용하여 격리도 부족에 따른 빈번한 고장증상이 해소되었다.

A rainfall induced slope failure is a common natural hazard in mountainous areas worldwide. Sudden and rapid failures which have a high possibility of occurrence in a steep slope are always the most dangerous due to their suddenness and high velocities. Based on a series of experiments this study aimed to determine a critical angle which could be considered as an approximate threshold for a sudden failure. The experiments were performed using 0.42 mm mean grain size sand in a 200 cm long, 60 cm wide and 50 cm deep rectangular flume. A numerical model was created by integrating a 2D seepage flow model and a 2D slope stability analysis model to predict the failure surface and the time of occurrence. The results showed that, the failure mode for the entire material will be sudden for slopes greater than $67^{\circ}$; in contrast the failure mode becomes retrogressive. There is no clear link between the degree of saturation and the mode of failure. The simulation results in considering matric suction showed good matching with the results obtained from experiment. A subsequent discarding of the matric suction effect in calculating safety factors will result in a deeper predicted failure surface and an incorrect predicted time of occurrence.

MTBF(Mean Time Between Failure)와 MTBSF(Mean Time Between Service Failure) are two representative quantitative reliability requirements for railway systems. There are the case that both of the two requirements are presented and the case that only one of them is presented in the specification of railway systems. we deal with the redundancy allocation problem to meet the two reliability requirements. The redundancy increases MTBSF while it decreases MTBF. Parallel redundancy and the exponential lifetime distribution of components are considered for the series systems. Mathematical model and example are presented for the redundancy optimization problem of minimizing the cost subjecting to MTBF and MTBSF requirements.

소트프웨어 고장 시간은 테스팅 시간과 관계없이 일정하거나. 단조증가 혹은 단조 감소 추세를 가지고 있다. 이러한 소프트웨어 신뢰모형들을 분석하기 위한 자료척도로 자료에 대한 추세 검정이 개발되어 있다. 추세 분석에는 산술평균 검정과 라플라스 추세 검정등이 있다. 추세분석들은 전체적인 자료의 개요의 정보만 제공한다. 본 논문에서는 고장시간을 측정하는 도중에 지수가중 이동 평균 관리도를 이용하여 관리 상태에 있는 자료만 가지고 정보분석을 해야 효율성이 있을 것으로 판단된다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 기존의 추세 검정과 지수가중이동평균 관리도를 사용하여 실제 소프트웨어 자료를 비교 분석하는 것을 목표로 하고 있다.

This paper considers a consecutive k-out-of-n:F system when the failure of a component in the system induces higher failure rate of the preceding survivor. The reliability, mean time to failure(MTTF), and average failure number of a consecutive k-out-of-n:F system are obtained, when the failure of a component increases the failure rate of the survivor which is working just before the failed component. Then the optimal number of consecutive failed components to minimize this long run average cost rate can be obtained. An example is considered to calculate the reliability, MTTF and average failure number of the system. And two procedures that find the optimal number of consecutive failed components are studied. Then, various cases of system parameters are also studied.

The geometric process (GP) has been widely used for modeling failure and repair time sequences of repairable systems. The GP is mathematically tractable but restrictive in reliability applications since it actually assumes that the mean function of inter-failure times sequence asymptotically decreases to zero; and the mean function of successive repair times sequence asymptotically increases to infinity. This is generally unrealistic from an engineering perspective. This paper presents three extended GP models for modeling reliability deterioration and improvement (or growth) process. The extensions maintain the advantage of mathematical tractability of GP model. Their usefulness and appropriateness are illustrated with three real-world examples.
