Considering the applicability of Kuz-Ram model, which has been used extensively for predicting rock fragmentation size distribution by blasting, to domestic open-pit limestone mine, a total of 21 blasting tests have been executed at an open-pit limestone mine in eastern Gangwon of South Korea. A comparative analysis of field measured value and Kuz-Ram predicted value showed that there are a considerable amount of error in the predicted values regardless of application of various correction parameters for rock factor and uniformity factor; up to 56.45% in mean fragmentation size and 37.52% in uniformity index. Also the problem of applying different correction parameters has been derived even though a similar blasting pattern has been adopted for a same blasting bench. The authors therefore suggest that Kuz-Ram model needs to be modified for a proper application to domestic open-pit limestone mine.

Drug Development is very important for promoting public health and pharmaceutical industry. There has been many studies on the efficiency of drug development, but there are few studies on the drug development R&D performed by government. Since CCR model assumes unidirectional influence of input and output, it is not appropriate to analyze the efficiency of R&D due to the time-lag and spill-over effect. Also, BBC model which assumes variable returns to scale has difficulty in deriving priorities between decision making units. Recently, Range Adjusted Measure (RAM) model has been suggested in R&D efficiency analysis. RAM model measures the efficincy by eliminating inefficiencies under variable returns to scale assumption, and its strong monotonicity enables to provide clear priorities between decision making units. In this study, we analyzed the efficiency of national R&D programs for drug development using the two-step approach, including RAM model and Tobit regression analysis, and discussed major policy implications.

The purpose of RAM analysis in weapon systems is to reduce life cycle costs, along with improving combat readiness by meeting RAM target value. We analyzed the sensitivity of the RAM analysis parameters to the use of the operating system by using the Markov Process based model (MPS, Markov Process Simulation) developed for RAM analysis. A Markov process-based RAM analysis model was developed to analyze the sensitivity of parameters (MTBF, MTTR and ALDT) to the utility of the 81mm mortar. The time required for the application to reach the steady state is about 15,000H, which is about 2 years, and the sensitivity of the parameter is highest for ALDT. In order to improve combat readiness, there is a need for continuous improvement in ALDT.

In the development stage of weapon system, it is important to analyze RAM(Reliability, Availability and Maintainability) characteristics. RAM simulation is one of the advanced techniques for analyzing RAM to overpass the limit of mathematical techniques. However, it is necessary to obtain correct input data for reliability and maintainability about target and support system to get highly accurate results through RAM simulation. In this study, we propose the technical method to improve the results by defining input data of simulation more correctly based on analyzing effects of RAM characteristics by major factors.

항공기 엔진 체계의 신뢰성과 안전성을 분석하는 것은 RAM 분석이라고 한다. RAM은 제작자가 개발한 시스템의 지속가능성 혹은 그 체계의 수명주기비용(Lice Cycle Cost)에 중대한 영향을 줄 수 있는 시스템 설계특성을 의미한다. 또한 RAM은 시스템이 개발될 당시에 의도된 임무를 수행할 수 있는 능력 혹은 임수수행을 성공할 수 있도록 담보하는 중요한 역할을 한다. RAM은 1970년대 이후 미국 군수분야에서는 군수지원성분석(LSA, Logistic Support Analysis) 과 밀접히 연계되어 활용되어 왔으며, RAM과 LSA를 통합하여 종합군수지원체계(ILS, Integrated Logistics Support)라고 부른다. 본 연구에서는 항공기 엔진에 대한 신뢰성 분석에 Weibull 분포를 활용하였다. Weibull 분포는 2개의 변수 적용에서 다음과 같이 정의된다. 변수가 그 계의 어떤 값을 나타내느냐에 따라 분포도 곡선의 특성 의미는 변수에 의존된다. 예를 들어 시험성적, 사회적 특성을 표현하는 인지도, 산업 제품의 고장이나 결함을 나타내는 고장관련 모수(변수) 등에 따라 그 특징을 나타내게 된다. 항공기 엔진의 신뢰성 분석을 통해 항공기 엔진의 수명 판단이 가능해졌으며 임무 불가능 수준의 In-Flight Shut-Down 비율이 현격히 감소됨을 확인할 수 있었다.

본 연구에서는 한강 본류 팔당댐부터 잠실수중보까지의 22.5 km 구간에서 발생할 수 있는 수질 오염사고에 대한 오염물질 혼합거동 모의를 위해 RAMS를 이용하였다. 이를 위해서 2차원 흐름모형인 RAM2를 이용하여 유속장을 모의하고, 2차원 수질해석 모형인 RAM4를 이용하여 사고주입에 의한 오염물질의 시간에 따른 거동을 분석하였다. 최종적으로 잠실수중보에 위치한 주요 취수장에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 모의를 진행한 결과 오염물질의 이송 및 확산 거동은 투입 위치에 따라 크게 달라진다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 특히 팔당대교에서 투입된 오염물질이 풍납 취수장에 도착하는데 까지 걸리는 시간이 좌안주입과 우안주입의 경우 60시간 가까이 차이가 나는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 오염 물질이 투입되었을 시에 일괄적으로 취수를 통제할 것이 아니라 상황에 따라 오염물질 투입 지점에 맞춰서 적절한 대책을 세워야 하는 것이 필요하다. 이 때 본 연구가 기초적인 정보를 제공할 수 있을 것이다.

Target operational availability setting is the first step to setting up a goal which a weapon system development project have to achieve and doing RAM analysis during whole life of a weapon system. It is important as a key factor to doing RAM analysis in the early phase of weapon system development. This paper present a methodology to set a target operational availability for, especially, a warship when it develop. This methodology uses Operational Mode Summary/Mission Profile(OMS/MP) of the developing warship and RAM analysis results of similar warships to calculate wartime and peacetime target operational availability. It will be used in early phase of not only warship development but also army or aircraft weapon systems when these develop.

Prediction of fragmentation in bench blasting is one of the most important factors to establish the production plan. It is widely accepted that fragmentation could be accurately predicted using the Kuz-Ram model in bench blasting. Nevertheless, the model has an ambiguous or subjective aspect in evaluating the model parameters such as joint condition, rock strength, density, burden, explosive strength and spacing. This study proposes a new method to evaluate the parameters of Kuz-Ram model, and the predicted mean fragment sizes using the proposed method are examined by comparing the measured sizes in the field. The results show that the predictions using Kuz-Ram model with the proposed method coincide with field measurements, but Kuz-Ram model does not reflect the in-situ rock condition and hence needs to be improved.

The Operational Mode Summary/Mission Profile(OMS/MP) is a document which describes how a system or training device will be used in wartime and/or peacetime at the time it is field with focus on the future. OMS/MP is also typically used for the RAM goal setting in an early phase of weapon system development. This paper provides OMS/MP and RAM goal of the Next-MILSATCOM which is following military satellite system after ANASIS. We propose operational concepts, user-side OMS/MP model and RAM goal.
