Three types of repair-ordering polices for the production facility with r-out-of-n configuration are considered. Policies are characterized by states of the system and two types of lead times ; regular lead time and expedited lead time. Optimum repair-ordering policy is determined by minimizing the cost rate for the system. Optimum policy consists of the type of policies and repair-ordering time. Variations of the optimum policies are observed with respect to variations of lead times and associated ordering costs and downtime cost, respectively.

최근 인터넷의 초고속 성장과 멀티미디어 데이터의 급격한 증가로 인해서, 고속의 전송매체와 이를 최적으로 이용하기 위한 인터페이스 시스템이 요구되고 있다. 이에 따라, 이더넷이 기가비트 이더넷으로 발전되어 LAN 인터페이스 시스템의 고속화를 이루고 있다. 그러나, 폭발적으로 증가하는 인터넷 환경에서 기가비트 이상의 고속 네트워크 대역폭을 지원하는 NIC(Network Interface Card)가 요구되고 있다. 이를 해결하고자, 기가비트 이상의 고속의 네트워크 대역폭을 지원하는 다중(Multiple) NIC의 연구가 진행되고 있다. 그러나, 고속의 네트워크 대역폭을 지원하는 다중 NIC를 운영할 때, 단일 NIC 결함으로 인해 시스템 운영이 중단되는 현상이 발생할 수 있다. 따라서, 효율적인 결함허용 기법을 적용하여 신뢰성 있는 시스템 운영을 지원할 필요성이 대두되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 하드웨어 결함 허용기법인 TMR, Primary-Standby Approach, Watchdog Timer 기법에서 발생되는 자원에 대한 가용성과 내구성의 비효율적인 부분을 고려하여, 동적으로 검출주기를 변환하여 다운타임(Downtime)을 최소화할 수 있는 효율적인 결함 허용 메카니즘을 설계하여 제안하고자 한다.

The diagnostic/prognostic problems for condition based maintenance or Prognostics and Health Management has been used. Primary objectives of diagnosis/prognosis are maximizing system availability and minimizing downtime from fault isolation through more effective troubleshooting efforts. Diagnosis aims to detect the onset of failures to improve system performance and reduce life cycle cost by reducing the failure time. The prognosis can reduce operational and support total ownership cost and improve safety of machinery and complex systems. In this Paper, a fault diagnosis methodology has been described using a monopropellant propulsion system model as a test bench.

Purpose: We introduce ways to employ Markov chain model to evaluate the effect of preventive maintenance process. While the preventive maintenance process decreases the failure rate of each subsystems, it increases the downtime of the system because the system can not work during the maintenance process. The goal of this paper is to introduce ways to analyze this trade-off. Methods: Markov chain models are employed. We derive the availability of the system consisting of N repairable subsystems by the methods under various maintenance policies. Results: To validate our methods, we apply our models to the real maintenance data reports of military truck. The error between the model and the data was about 1%. Conclusion: The models developed in this paper fit real data well. These techniques can be applied to calculate the availability under various preventive maintenance policies.

Reliability is an important issue in cascaded H-bridge converters (CHB converters) because they use a high number of power semiconductors. A faulty power cell in a CHB converter can potentially lead to expensive downtime and great losses on the consumer side. With a fault-tolerant control strategy, operation can continue with the undamaged cells; thus increasing the reliability of the system. In this paper, the operating principles and the control method for a CHB multilevel rectifier are introduced. The influence of various faults on the CHB converter is investigated. The method of fault diagnosis and the bypassing of failed cells are explained. A fault-tolerant protection strategy is proposed to achieve redundancy in the CHB rectifier. The redundant H-bridge concept helps to deal with device failures and to increase system reliability. Simulation results verify the performance of the proposed strategy.

This paper presents a spare ordering policy for preventive replacement with minimal repair. To analyze the ordering policy, the failure process is modeled by a non-homogeneous Poisson process. Introducing the ordering, repair, downtime, replacement costs and salvage value, we derive the expected cost effectiveness as a criterion of optimality when the lifetime and lead times for the regular and expedited orders are generally distributed random variables. It is shown that, under certain conditions, there exists a finite and unique optimum ordering time which maximizes the expected cost effectiveness. A numerical example is also included to explain the proposed model.

Electrical damages to critical parts in rotating machinery have caused many machinery failures and hours of costly downtime. The problem of shaft currents generated in non-electrical machines has puzzled both users and manufacturers of these machines. The main solution for preventing electromagnetic type damage is to demagnetize all of the machinery parts, however this is costly and time consuming. Therefore a thorough investigation into the causes and physical characteristics of electromagnetic shaft currents is needed. In this paper, the self excitation theory was developed far a simple model, an axial flux Faraday disk machine surrounded by a long solenoid. Experimental tests were conducted to investigate the physical characteristics on an electromagnetic self excitation rig. The theory showed that the directions of both the shaft rotation and the coil turns should be identical if self excitation is to occur. From the tests, the electromagnetic type shaft current had both AC and DC components occurred at all vibration frequencies. This could point to a way to detect small instabilities or natural frequency locations by monitoring shaft currents.

For an industry, production capacity is defined as the maximum level of output that plants can maintain within the framework of a realistic work schedule, taking account of normal downtime, and assuming sufficient availability of inputs to operate machinery and equipment in place. Such capacity is one of the important and basic due to measure, manage and evaluate the production performance and ability of any industrial bodies. However, the estimating methods now in use in Korea are seemed far from the definition above. And there are not any standard estimating method suggested even in the same sort of manufacturing and also no applicable theory for objective and exact measurement. Thus, in this paper, a new measuring model is suggested as standard and supporting theories are developed for general measurement purpose to any manufacturing industries.

고가용성 시스템의 소프트웨어 재활 기법은 시스템의 결함 발생 이후에 수동적으로 대처하기보다는 결함이 발생하기 전에 이를 미연에 방지하는 능동적 차원의 결함 허용 방법이다. 본 연구에서는 서버에서 수행되는 소프트웨어의 재활 주기, 재활 소요시간, 서버의 고장률, 수리률, 동시에 가동되는 서버의 수, 서버의 가동 기간 및 가동 방식등의 시스템 운영 파라미터에 기초하여, 소프트웨어 재활 정책에 대한 평가를 위한 평형상태에서의 확률, downtime, 가용도, 손실 비용 등을 계산하였다. 수학적 분석을 통해 구한 재활 모델의 closed-form 해는 다양한 시스템 운영 상태에 대한 실험을 통해 검증하였으며, 소프트웨어 재활을 통한 재활 모델의 closed-form 해는 다양한 시스템 운영 상태에 대한 실험을 통해 검증하였으며, 소프트웨어 재활을 통한 예방적 결함허용 기법의 적용 가능성이 높다는 것을 확인하였다. 또한 서버의 고장률 및 불안정률이 소프트웨어 재활 정책결정에 중요한 요소임을 파악하였다.

Hydropower is now changing its role from the energy generator into the most powerful and reliable tool for stabilizing the electrical network, especially under the increase of intermittent power sources like wind-power and solar-power. Although the hydropower plants are the most robust generating facilities, they are not immune from unexpected severe incidents having long downtime, considerable restoration cost and sometimes fatalities. The present paper provides some study results about severe incidents in the conventional hydropower plants, mainly about the flood, fire and electro-mechanical troubles, except for the incidents of civil facilities. It also provides some possible scenarios which may lead some measures how to avoid such incidents. Finally, it provides some comprehensible recommendations to avoid severe incidents based on experiences.
