In this paper, optimal bum-in time to minimize the total mean cost, which is the sum of manufacturing cost with burn-in and cumulative warranty-related cost, is obtained. When the products with cumulative pro-rata warranty have high failure rate in the early period (infant mortality period), a burn-in procedure is adopted to eliminate early product failures. After burn-in, the posterior product life distribution and the warranty-related cost are dependent on burn-in time; long burn-in period may reduce the warranty-related cost, but it increases the manufacturing cost. The paper provides a methodology to obtain total mean cost under burn-in and cumulative pro-rata warranty. Property of the optimal burn-in time is analyzed, and numerical examples and sensitivity analysis are studied.

지금까지 정보화의 중요성과 더불어 정보화 투자 규모는 지속적으로 증가하고 있으며 정보기술 도입에 수반되는 위험, 불확실성 및 복잡성 등으로 인해 대규모 정보화 투자 시 보다 체계적인 의사결정이 요구되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 금융권 정보시스템의 교체 전략 시 고려할 수 있는 여러 요인 중의 하나인 경제적 비용 절감 관점에서, 최적의 경제수명을 도출하기 하기 위한 방법을 제시하고자 한다. 지금까지 비용 집계가 어려워 가정된 데이터를 가지고 연구된 경제 수명에 대한 연구를 활용하여 국내 K금융에서 실제 정보시스템이 구축/운영되면서 발생한 모든 IT비용을 집계하여, 경제적 비용 관점에서 유형별로 정보시스템의 최적 수명을 제시하였다. 향후 같은 유형의 정보시스템의 경제적인 교체시기를 예측하여 IT투자의사결정에서 활용할 수 있도록 하는 것이 본 연구의 목적이라 할 수 있다.

The total hip replacement (THR) has been used as the most effective way to restore the function of damaged hip joint. However, various factors have caused some side effects after the THR. Unfortunately, the success of the THR have been decided only by the proficiency of surgeons so far. Hence, It is necessary to find the way to minimize the side effect caused by those factors. The purpose of this study was to suggest the definite data, which can be used to design and choose the optimal hip implant. Using finite element analysis (FEA), the biomechanical condition of bone cement was evaluated. Stress patterns were analyzed in three conditions: cement mantle, procimal femur and stem-cement contact surface. Additionally, micro-motion was analyzed in the stem-cement contact surface. The 3-D femur model was reconstructed from 2-D computerized tomography (CT) images. Raw CT images were preprocessed by image processing technique (i.e. edge detection). In this study, automated edge detection system was created by MATLAB coding for effective and rapid image processing. The 3-D femur model was reconstructed based on anatomical parameters. The stem shape was designed using that parameters. The analysis of the finite element models was performed with the variation of parameters. The biomechanical influence of each parameter was analyzed and derived optimal parameters. Moreover, the results of FE A using commercial stem model (Zimmer's V erSys) were similar to the results of stem model that was used in this study. Through the study, the improved designs and optimal factors for clinical application were suggested. We expect that the results can suggest solutions to minimize various side effects.

Replacement policies based on both the system age and the random repair cost are studied. The system is replaced when it reaches age T (Policy A), or when it fails for the first time after age T (Policy B). If the system fails before age T, the repair cost is estimated and repair is then undertaken if the estimated cost is less than a predetermined limit L ; otherwise, the system is replaced. After repair, the system is as good as new with probability (1-p) or is as good as old with probability P. The expected cost rate is obtained, its behavior is examined, and way of obtaining optimal T and L is explored.

Engineers are always concerned with life cycle costs for making important economic decisions through engineering action like reliability of products. Decisions during the reliability growth development of products involve trade-offs between invested costs and its returns. In order to find minimal LCC containing the reliability improvement cost, production cost, repair and replacement costs, and holding cost of spare parts for failure items we suggest in this paper relationship between development cost and sustaining cost in values of growth parameter $\beta$ of AMSAA model. This model is applied to the reliability growth program based on AMSAA model during R&D phase, the warranty activities of items and the block replacement policy for maintenance of items in avionic equipment.

This study is the experimental results on the flowing properties of the super flowing concrete (SFC) using limestone (LS), which is to develop the SFC in level of ordinary strength. And this study is described with respect to basic concept, confined water ratio ($\beta_p$) of binder (cement+limestone) in paste, relationship between volume ratio of water-binder (w/b) and addition ratio of superplasticizer in mortar, flowing velocity and funneling time and compressive strength in concrete to replacement ratio of LS. The results of this study is improved to flowing properties in fleshly concrete with increasing replacement ratio of LS. The optimal mixing condition of the SFC using LS in level of ordinary strength is proved W/C 55%, LS 40% and W/C 60%, LS 50%.

Many dialysis modalities such as peritoneal dialysis (PD), hemodialysis (HD) and continuous hemofiltration or hemodialysis (CRRT) are available for the management of pediatric patients with acute renal failure (ARF). PD is a relatively simple, inexpensive modality and can be used in hemodynamically unstable patients. But, it may not be the optimal therapy for patients with severe volume overload or life threatening hyperkalemia. HD is the preferred modality for the treatment of severe volume overload, severe hyperkalemia, but it needs vascular access. Improvements in the HD equipment have allowed HD to be performend in small children. Recents technological improvements in CRRT therapies have enabled pediatric patients who are less stable to be treated. CRRT is becoming the preferred method of acute therapy in pediatric intensive care units. A sound knowledge of the underlying principles of dialysis and awareness of recent technological advancements in differnet dialysis modalities will hopefully result in improved management of children with ARF.

종래의 연구들은 주로 시간이 경과함에 따라 수리비용과 고장시간 간격이 고정된 상태에서 최적교환시각(T)을 구하는 조건을 발견하는데 중점을 두었으나, 대부분의 시스템은 시간이 경과할수록 고장시간간격이 좁아지고 수리비용은 증가하는 것이 일반적이다. 본 논문에서는 위의 두 조건을 만족하는 보다 현실적인 모델을 구축하였으며, 또 일정시간 내에 2개의 시스템이 존재할 때 어느 조건 하에서 시스템이 확률적으로 우월한가를 분석하는 연구를 수행하였다. 즉, 시스템은 시간이 경과함에 따라 확률 P［N=k］로서 완전수리를, 1-P［N=k］로서 소수리를 행하는 모델을 고려하였다. 여기서 N은 연속된 완전수리 사이의 소수리의 수를 나타낸다. 또한 초기고장에 있어서 수리에 의해 새로운 시스템이 되는 확률이 높고, 고장횟수가 증가함에 따라 완전수리가 행해지는 확률이 낮아지는, 보다 현실에 가까운 모델을 구축하였다. 모델을 일반화하기 위해 수리비용은 확률변수로 가정하였다.

This paper provides the results of accelerated aging test of 18kV ZnO lightning arresters to investigate the leakage current characteristics. It was impossible to establish the replacement criterion for field operating lightning arrester because conventional aging test was only focused on the aging of ZnO elements. In general, it is possible to replace the aged arresters before the failure in the field using the leakage current measurement because it must be increased by the aging. But we can not use the method because we don't know the characteristics of the installed lightning arresters. Therefore in this paper we applied operating voltage and accelerating cycle which consists of temperature and humidity to the arresters. Then we measured the variation of total and resistive leakage current and found out the characteristics of the acted lightning arresters.

This paper studies the economic replacement method for production facilities which requires huge investment but are necessary for higher productivity and competability of products. That is, the general models for the decision of economic life of properties which minimizes the total costs throughout the usage life(Life cycle costs) are generated. Main factors which make influences for the decision of econmic life can be divided by three. These are the change of salvage value, repair and maintenance costs, and availability of production facilities with the passage of usage time. In this paper, the real world data for these three factors are collected and analyzed for the extraction of representative standard forms with the passage of time. And general models for economic replacement methods and optimal usage terms are presented through tables with the combination of the standard forms of these three main factors.
