This paper performed a comprehensive evaluation of the results of the 2007 Ground Response Analysis Round Robin Test, at which 14 institutions and individuals participated. The submitted results showed significant discrepancies. The main reason for this difference has been attributed to the dispersion in the estimated shear wave velocity profiles and dynamic soil curves. It is therefore concluded that accurate evaluation of the material properties is of primary importance for reliable estimation of the ground vibration. Evaluation of the effect of the analysis method showed that the equivalent linear analysis overestimates the peak ground acceleration, but overall the results are similar to a total stress nonlinear analysis. However, the total and effective stress nonlinear analyses show distinct discrepancies, the effective stress analyses consistently resulting in a lower response due to the development of the excess pore water pressure and thus softer response.

The technical committee of Soil Dynamics and Geotechnical Earthquake Engineering of Korean Geotechnical Socity has conducted Round Robin Test(RRT) on seismic ground response analyses in 2007. Total 14 participating teams were given exact same soil information of three sites and three input ground motions including two recorded ground motions and one synthetic ground motion. Each team selected its own analysis method and approaches to perform ground response analyses. There were equivalent linear, nonlinear total stress, and nonlinear effective stress approaches, which could be selected. The results from RRT were systematically analyzed and dispersion and variation due to analysis methods, input ground motions, shear velocity profiles, shear modulus reduction curves, damping curves, and other input data are reported by the companion papers.

To improve the reliability of hardness test results, Rockwell hardness round robin test was carried out for 10 laboratories. The test condition was the same with the ISO(International Standards Organization) standards. Korea Research Institute of Standards and Science(KRISS) supplied the hardness standard blocks and an indenter to laboratories for the measurement. The participating laboratories measured hardness of the specified areas on the blocks for 6 times with their own indenter as well as common indenter, respectively, and reported the results to KRISS. The result showed that quite large amount of the differences came from the indenter and it is necessary to change indenter with better quality for improved reliability in hardness measurement.

Ultrasonic inspection system consist of the examination procedures, equipment, and operators. The reliability of nondestructive testing is influenced by the inspection environment, materials and types of defect. It is very difficult to estimate the reliability of NDT due to the various factors. Piping inspection round robin was conducted to quantify the capability of ultrasonic inspection during in-service. In this study, the models for predicting the ultrasonic NDE reliability by logistic model and linear regression model are discussed. The utility of the NDT reliability assessment is verified by the analysis of the data from round robin test with these models.

The reduction of pipe-thickness induced by flow accelerated corrosion (FAC) is one of the most serious problems on the maintenance of piping system in nuclear power plants (NNP). If the thickness of a pipe component is reduced below the critical level, it cannot sustain pressure and consequently results in leakage or rupture. For this reason, wall thinning by FAC has been inspected in secondary side piping systems in NPPs. In this research Round Robin Test (RRT) was conducted to verify confidence of wall thinning measurement system in NPP. 12 inspectors from 3 companies participated and 23 specimens were used according to standard practice in RRT. The gage R&R analysis was introduced in regard to repeatability and reproducibility that are affected to measurement system errors. Confidence intervals of thickness measurement system were obtained.

In this work the AC loss measurement setup based on an iron core background magnet, not used in a conventional one, has been successfully developed. To prove its validity, a round-robin test for the same Bi-2223 tape sample among three institutes has been done. The results show that the self-field and magnetization losses from the developed setup well agree with the losses measured at two other institutes of Korea Basic Science Institute and Yokohama National University. The measured magnetization losses for parallel or perpendicular fields can be well predicted from the slab model or the strip model for a filamentary region. However the magnetization losses for longitudinal fields can be rather predicted by the slab model for a decoupled filament. The self-field losses are well explained by the Norris ellipse model.

This study analyzes a load balancing technique using Round Robin Algorithm. The study uses two software packages (Packet Capture and Round Robin Test Package) to check packet volume from Virtual Network structure (data generator, virtual server, Server1,2,3), and finds out traffic distribution toward Server1,2 and 3. The functions of implemented Round Robin Load Balancing Monitoring System include round robin testing, system monitoring, and graphical indication of data transmission and packet volume. As the result of the study shows, Round Robin Algorithm allows servers to ensure definite traffic distribution, unless incoming data loads differ much. Although error levels are high in some cases, they were eventually alleviated by repeated tests for a long period of time.

차음성능 측정에 관한 국제간 신인도 향상을 위하여 home and away 테스트가 수행되었다. 동일 시편에 대한 비교 테스트 결과 대부분의 시편에서는 STC 1 ㏈ 이내의 차이를 보였다. 다만, 특정 시편의 경우 STC 5 ㏈의 차이가 발생하였다. 주원인으로는 잔향시간 측정 오차가 주원인으로 추정되며, 또한 부수적인 원인으로는 시편의 제작 및 설치의 차이 때문인 으로 사료된다.

Within the IEA (International Energy Agency) PVPS (Photovoltaic Power System) Programme Task 15, 'Enabling Framework for the Acceleration of BIPV,' a round-robin action focusing on the performance of vertical BIPV elements as a facade in different climatic environments was performed. The performance of identical (both, in construction and bill of materials (BOM)) glass-to-glass c-Si BIPV elements was monitored at seven outdoor test sites in 6 different countries in Europe and Asia. In this work, the comprehensive results of the electrical and corresponding meteorological data will be presented and discussed. The monitored data were merged, processed, and filtered for further analysis. The analysis includes the chracteristics of the module temperatures and the in-plane irradiation at the outdoor test locations, mean daily PR per test module, time series of mean daily performance ratio coefficients, and monthly yield.

For the establishment of the world wide unified scales of the Rockwell hardness test with conical indenters, round robin test was carried from 1998 to 2000. The pilot laboratory was MPA-NRW and 12 laboratories from 11 countries participated In this RRT. Rockwell hardness of 74 specially prepared blocks was measured for the scales of C, A, D, 45N, 30N, and 15N and the results were compared. It was found that the geometric form of indenter affects on the results very significantly and standardization in the measurement and evaluation of indenter should be established in short time for the reliable hardness measurement. KRISS showed good results in general for all of the ranges except 15N scale which showed relatively large difference compare to the mean value. It was concluded that poor control in loading velocity of the dash pot was the major reason.
