The time-varying structural reliability of an aeroelastic launch vehicle subjected to stochastic parameters is investigated. The launch vehicle structure is under the combined action of several stochastic loads that include aerodynamics, thrust as well as internal combustion pressure. The launch vehicle's main body structural flexibility is modeled via the normal mode shapes of a free-free Euler beam, where the aerodynamic loadings on the vehicle are due to force on each incremental section of the vehicle. The rigid and elastic coupled nonlinear equations of motion are derived following the Lagrangian approach that results in a complete aeroelastic simulation for the prediction of the instantaneous launch vehicle rigid-body motion as well as the body elastic deformations. Reliability analysis has been performed based on two distinct limit state functions, defined as the maximum launch vehicle tip elastic deformation and also the maximum allowable stress occurring along the launch vehicle total length. In this fashion, the time-dependent reliability problem can be converted into an equivalent time-invariant reliability problem. Subsequently, the first-order reliability method, as well as the Monte Carlo simulation schemes, are employed to determine and verify the aeroelastic launch vehicle dynamic failure probability for a given flight time.

Field programmable gate array (FPGA)-based systems are thought to be a practical option to replace certain obsolete instrumentation and control systems in nuclear power plants. An FPGA is a type of integrated circuit, which is programmed after being manufactured. FPGAs have some advantages over other electronic technologies, such as analog circuits, microprocessors, and Programmable Logic Controllers (PLCs), for nuclear instrumentation and control, and safety system applications. However, safety-related issues for FPGA-based systems remain to be verified. Owing to this, modeling FPGA-based systems for safety assessment has now become an important point of research. One potential methodology is the dynamic flowgraph methodology (DFM). It has been used for modeling software/hardware interactions in modern control systems. In this paper, FPGA logic was analyzed using DFM. Four aspects of FPGAs are investigated: the "IEEE 1164 standard," registers (D flip-flops), configurable logic blocks, and an FPGA-based signal compensator. The ModelSim simulations confirmed that DFM was able to accurately model those four FPGA properties, proving that DFM has the potential to be used in the modeling of FPGA-based systems. Furthermore, advantages of DFM over traditional reliability analysis methods and FPGA simulators are presented, along with a discussion of potential issues with using DFM for FPGA-based system modeling.

Shipbuilding and repairing enterprise has the characteristics of many hazards and accidents. Therefore, the safety management ability of shipbuilding and repairing MIS (management information system) must be effectively guaranteed. The verification on safety management is the necessary measure to ensure and improve the safety management ability of MIS. Safety verification can not only increase the safety of MIS, but also make early warning of potential risks in management to avoid the accidents. Based on the authoritative standards in the field of safety in shipbuilding and repairing enterprise, this paper applied modeling and verification method based on ontology to safety verification of MIS, extracted the concepts and associations from related safety standards to construct axiom set to support safety verification on MIS of shipbuilding and repairing enterprise. Then, this paper developed the corresponding safety ontology modeling and verification tool-SOMVT. By the application and comparison of two examples, this paper effectively verified the safety of MIS to prove the modeling method and the SOMVT can improve the safety of MIS in a much more effective and stable way to traditional manual analysis.

본 연구는 무기체계 획득의 신뢰성과 연구개발의 효과를 증대하기 위한 모델링과 시뮬레이션 방법을 전산유체역학을 이용하여 연구하였다. 모델링과 시뮬레이션을 이용한 시험 평가가 무기체계의 획득에 신뢰성을 줄 수 있고, 시험에 필요한 시간과 비용의 절감, 사전에 예측하고 사후에 검증이 가능한 자료를 제공할 수 있다. 그러나 현재 우리의 무기체계 획득에서는 모델링과 시뮬레이션을 적극적으로 활용하지 않고 있으며 검증을 위한 소프트웨어 사용도 제한되고 있는 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 전산유체역학을 이용한 모델링과 시뮬레이션을 위해 GAMBIT과 FLUENT를 이용하여 모델링과 시뮬레이션을 실시하였다. 그 결과 기존의 연구보다 더 좋은 결과 확인하였고 향후 무기체계의 획득과 연구개발에 많이 활용될 것으로 기대된다.

This paper shows an example of the Design Review and Common-Cause Failure (CCF) Modeling of mechanical Parts. Reliability should be continuously monitored during the entire period of design. Design Review is the procedure to improve the reliability for the product. We proposed the reliability assessment and design review method. CCF Model is the general dependent model considering the failure mode effects several component simultaneously. This study considers the computation of the network with dependent components. It is important that CCF model is applied for mechanical pars.

This paper uses the auto regression model to modeling failure number of a bus fleet. The fitted model can be used to predict the failure number in the future. A numerical example is presented to illustrate the modeling process and the appropriateness of the fitted model. At last, some possible applications of the model are discussed.

Taguchi's multi-characteristic experiments seek proper choice of levels of contollable factors which satisfy that all reponses of characteristics in a desirable range simultaneously. This aim can be achieved by response surface techniques that allow more flexible in modeling than traditional Taguchi's parameter design. In this article, a multi-response surface modeling and analysis techniques is proposed to deal with the multi-characteristic optimization problem in experimentation with Taguchi's controllable and noise factors.

This paper establishes a modeling and simulation procedure for structural response and reliability of a cylindrical array sensor on submarines under the shock generated by underwater explosion. The structural reliability of SONAR is important because the submarine could get out of combat ability by the structural damage of the SONAR upon explosion. A cylindrical array sensor was first modeled using the finite element method. Modal analysis was then performed for the check of the reliability of the modeling. The shock resistance simulations were performed for the responses to the structural shock waves and for the responses to the directly applied underwater shock waves, according to BV-043 and MIL-STD-901D, respectively. The stresses of the structure were evaluated with von-Mises scheme. Vulnerable regions were exposed through mapping the maximum stress to the structural model. Maximum stress of the SONAR was compared with the yield stress of the material to examine the structural reliability.
