In general, a software fault detection phenonenon is described by a software reliability model based on a nonhomogeneous Poisson process(NHPP). In this paper, we propose a software reliability growth model considering the differences of the software environments in both the testing phase and the operational phase. Also, we consider the problem of determining the optimal release time and the optimal warranty period that minimize the total expected software cost which takes account of periodic software maintenance(e.g. patch, update, etc). Finally, we analyze the sensitivity of the optimal release time and warranty period based on the fault data observed in the actual testing process.

Rail breaks and derailments can cause a huge loss to rail players due to loss of service, revenue, property or even life. Maintenance has huge impact on reliability and safety of railroads. It is important to identify factors behind rail degradation and their risks associated with rail breaks and derailments. Development of mathematical models is essential for prediction and prevention of risks due to rail and wheel set damages, rail breaks and derailments. This paper addresses identification of hazard modes, estimation of probability of those hazards under operating, curve and environmental condition, probability of detection of potential hazards before happening and severity of those hazards for informed strategic decisions. Emphasis is put on optimal maintenance and operational decisions. Real life data is used for illustration.

This paper investigates the safety of the wind turbine blade against excessive deformation. For this purpose, the performance of the blade in the along-wind direction is improved by longitudinal stiffener made of shape memory alloy. The rationale behind the selection of this smart material is due to its ability to offer excellent thermo-mechanical behaviour at low strain. Here, Liang-Roger model is adopted for vibration control, and the super-elastic effects are utilised for blade stiffening. Turbulent wind fields are generated at the hub height using TurbSim and the corresponding loads are evaluated using blade element momentum theory. An efficient switching algorithm is developed along with performance curves that enable the designer to select an optimal mode of heating depending upon the operational scenario. Numerical results presented in this paper clearly demonstrate the performance envelope of the proposed stiffener and its influence on the reliability of the blade.

The software reliability growth model(SRGM) has been developed in order to estimate such reliability measures as remaining fault number, failure rate and reliability for the developing stage software. Almost of them assumed that the faults detected during testing were evetually removed. Namely, they have studied SRGM based on the assumption that the faults detected during testing were perfectly removed. The fault removing efficiency. however. IS imperfect and it is widely known as so in general. It is very difficult to remove detected fault perfectly because the fault detecting is not easy and new error may be introduced during debugging and correcting. Therefore, the fault detecting efficiency may influence the SRGM or cost of developing software. It is a very useful measure for the developing software. much helpful for the developer to evaluate the debugging efficiency, and, moreover, help to additional workloads necessary. Therefore. it is very important to evaluate the effect of imperfect dubugging in point of SRGM and cost. and may influence the optimal release time and operational budget. I extent and study the generally used reliability and cost models to the imperfect debugging range in this paper.

This paper presents a reliability-based shape optimization (RBSO) using the evolutionary structural optimization (ESO). An actual design involves uncertain conditions such as material property, operational load, poisson's ratio and dimensional variation. The deterministic optimization (DO) is obtained without considering of uncertainties related to the uncertainty parameters. However, the RBSO can consider the uncertainty variables because it has the probabilistic constraints. In order to determine whether the probabilistic constraint is satisfied or not, simulation techniques and approximation methods are developed. In this paper, the reliability-based shape design optimization method is proposed by utilization the reliability index approach (RIA), performance measure approach (PMA), single-loop single-vector (SLSV), adaptive-loop (ADL) are adopted to evaluate the probabilistic constraint. In order to apply the ESO method to the RBSO, a sensitivity number is defined as the change of strain energy in the displacement constraint. Numerical examples are presented to compare the DO with the RBSO. The results of design example show that the RBSO model is more reliable than deterministic optimization.

최근 소프트웨어는 고성능의 많은 기능을 제공해야 하기 때문에 그 중요성이 증가할 뿐만 아니라 복잡도 또한 증가하고 있다. 그러므로 신뢰할 만한 소프트웨어를 개발하는 것이 중요한 이슈가 되고 있다. 신뢰할 만한 소프트웨어를 개발하기 위해서는 신뢰성을 초기단계에서부터 관리해야 할 필요성이 있지만 대부분 신뢰성 추정 모델의 경우 시스템 또는 운영 테스트 단계에서 주로 사용되고 있다. 신뢰성 높은 소프트웨어를 개발하기 위해서는 초기 테스트 단계에서부터 개별 유닛의 신뢰성을 관리할 필요성이 있기에 이 단계에서의 특징을 반영해야 한다. 그러나 초기 테스트 단계에서는 개발자와 테스터가 분리되는 것이 아니라 개발자가 테스트뿐만 아니라 디버그까지 함께 수행을 하게 된다. 그렇기 때문에 테스트 시간과 디버그 시간을 모두 고려하는 신뢰성 추정 모델이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 초기 테스트 단계에서부터 개별 유닛의 신뢰성 관리를 지원하고자 새로운 신뢰성 모델을 제안하였다. 그리고 실제 산업에서 수집된 데이터를 이용하여 제안한 모델이 실제 데이터와 얼마나 일치하는지 그리고 기존 모델과 어떤 차이를 보이는지를 확인하기 위한 실험을 수행하였다.
