This paper proposes a new estimation method based on the maximum product of spacings for estimating unknown parameters of the three-parameter Weibull distribution under a generalized Type-II progressive hybrid censoring scheme which guarantees a constant number of observations and an appropriate experiment duration. The proposed approach is appropriate for a situation where the maximum likelihood estimation is invalid, especially, when the shape parameter is less than unity. Furthermore, it presents the enhanced performance in terms of the bias through the Monte Carlo simulation. In particular, the superiority of this approach is revealed even under the condition where the maximum likelihood estimation satisfies the classical asymptotic properties. Finally, to illustrate the practical application of the proposed approach, the real data analysis is conducted, and the superiority of the proposed method is demonstrated through a simple goodness-of-fit test.

I형 프리스트레스트 콘크리트 거더 교량의 활하중 분배계수식을 개발하기 위한 구조해석 모델은 해석결과의 적정성과 함께 모델링의 용이성도 동시에 가지고 있어야 한다. 그 이유는 활하중 분배계수식의 개발 과정에서 무수히 많은 횟수의 구조해석이 필요하기 때문이다. 본 연구에서는 기존 연구와 설계실무에서 사용하고 있는 모델들을 비교하여 적정한 구조해석모델을 선정하였다. 또한 수치해석과 재하시험 결과와의 비교를 통하여 방호벽과 가로보의 휨 강성이 활하중분배에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 연구결과로서 I형 프리스트레스트 콘크리트 거더 교량의 구조해석에는 편심을 반영한 거더, 방호벽 및 가로보를 바닥판에 연결시킨 모델이 해석결과의 정확성과 모델링의 편이성을 동시에 만족시키는 측면에서 적합하였다. 그러나 방호벽은 강성변화에도 불구하고 활하중분배에 미치는 영향이 미소한 것으로 분석되었다. 편심을 고려한 가로보는 휨 강성 25% 이상에서는 강성변화에 따른 영향이 적었다. 따라서 거더는 바닥판과의 편심을 고려하여 강체요소로 연결하고, 방호벽은 무시하고, 가로보는 전 단면이 유효한 것으로 가정한 상태에서 편심을 주지 않는 모델을 I형 프리스트레스트 콘크리트 거더 교량의 활하중 분배계수식의 개발을 위한 최종 구조해석 모델로서 선정하였다.

The packaging of fruits is very important because appropriate packaging can optimize the maintenance of freshness of fruits during their distribution in low or normal temperatures until the products reach consumers. The focus of this study was on the use of functional packaging materials for the post-harvest maintenance of the freshness of fruits. Oak charcoal has excellent far infrared emission and ethylene absorption qualities, and we developed a charcoal-processing packaging linerboard to evaluate the possibility for the use of charcoal as a functional packaging material for pears. Oriental pears of the Niitaka cultivar used in this study account for about 70% of pears harvested every year, and are a very popular domestic fruit in Korea. Pears packaged in packaging materials processed with charcoal were of significantly higher quality (p<0.05) than those packaged with conventional packaging materials, suggesting that charcoal-processed packaging materials can be used as functional packaging material for extending the storability and distribution time of fruits. Charcoal-coated linerboard was shown to be the most appropriate packaging material based on its compression strength, ethylene absorption performance, and the firmness and minimal weight loss of pears.

기업은 종종 과거의 필드 고장 데이터를 이용하여 미래에 필드에서 고장이 얼마나 일어날 것인지 예측한다. 특히 이런 예측은 필드에서 예기치 않던 고장모드 (failure mode)가 발견될 때 더욱 하고 싶어진다. 왜냐하면 기업은 이런 예측을 통해 미래에 품질보증 비용이 얼마나 될 것인지 파악하고, 고장 난 부품을 재빨리 수리하는데 필요한 여유 부품의 수를 파악하고 싶기 때문이다. 본 연구에서는 기업에서 생길 수 있는 요약 데이터를 사용하여 미래 필드에서 고장이 얼마나 발생할 것인지 예측하고, 이런 요약 데이터이외에 또 어떤 데이터가 생길 수 있으며 이때 분석결과가 어떻게 나올 수 있는지 알아본다.

The WUF-W moment connection is a pre-qualified connection that can be used for special moment frames specified in current seismic design specifications. Since the stress distribution near the connection varies according to access hole configuration, the cyclic performance of WUF-W connections is strongly affected by the access hole configurations. To evaluate the connection performance according to various access hole configurations, it is expensive to conduct experiments with many connection specimens. Instead, finite element analyses (FEA) can be performed. Throughout the FEA, stress and strain distribution in the connection can be monitored at each loading step. The purpose of this study is to construct nonlinear 3-dimensional FE models for accurately predicting the cyclic behavior of WUF-W connections. For predicting connection fracture using FEA, an appropriate response index detecting the incidence of connection rupture is proposed.

The setpoint of the reactor trip system shall be set to consider the measurement uncertainty of the instrument channel and provide a reasonable and sufficient margin between the analytical limit and the trip setpoint. A comparative analysis was conducted to find out an appropriate uncertainty combination method through an example problem. The four methods were evaluated; 1) ISA-67.04.01 method, 2) the GUM95 method, 3) the modified GUM method developed by Fotowicz, and 4) the modified IEC61888 method proposed by authors for the pressure instrument channel presented in ISA-RP67.04.02 example. The appropriateness of each method was validated by comparing it with the result of Monte Carlo simulation. As a result of the evaluation, all methods are appropriate when all measurement uncertainty elements are normally distributed as expected. But ISA-67.04 method and GUM95 method overestimated the channel uncertainty if there is a dominant input element with rectangular distribution among the uncertainty input elements. Modified GUM95 methods developed by Fotowicz and modified IEC61888 method by authors are able to produce almost the same level of channel uncertainty as the Monte Carlo method, even when there is a dominant rectangular distribution among the uncertainty components, without computer-assisted simulations.

The loss minimization is one of the most important problems to save the operational cost in distribution systems. This paper presents an efficient method for optimal feeder reconfiguration of distribution systems. Chaos search algorithm (CSA) is used to reconfigure distribution systems so that active power losses are globally minimized with turning on/off sectionalizing switches. In optimization problem, the CSA searches the global optimal solution on the basis of regularity in chaotic motions and easily escapes from local or near optimal solution. The CSA is tested on 15 buses and 32 buses distribution systems, and the results indicate that it is able to determine appropriate switching options for global optimum reconfiguration.

We define a multivariate Cauchy distribution using a probability density function; subsequently, a Ferguson's definition of a multivariate Cauchy distribution can be viewed as a characterization theorem using the characteristic function approach. To clarify this characterization theorem, we construct two dependent Cauchy random variables, but their sum is not Cauchy distributed. In doing so the proofs depend on the characteristic function, but we use the cumulative distribution function to obtain the exact density of their sum. The derivation methods are relatively straightforward and appropriate for graduate level statistics theory courses.

Information on the distribution of the basic random variables is essential for the accurate evaluation of structural reliability. The usual method for determining the distribution is to fit a candidate distribution to the histogram of available statistical data of the variable and perform appropriate goodness-of-fit tests. Generally, such candidate distributions would have two parameters that may be evaluated from the mean value and standard deviation of the statistical data. In the present paper, a-parameter Gamma distribution, whose parameters can be directly defined in terms of the mean value, standard deviation and skewness of available data, is suggested. The flexibility and advantages of the distribution in fitting statistical data and its significance in structural reliability evaluation are identified and discussed. Numerical examples are presented to demonstrate these advantages.
