This paper, being the second in a two-part series, presents the robust performance of the proposed design method which can enhance a reliability-based design optimization(RBDO) under the uncertainties of probabilistic models. The robust performances of the solutions obtained by the proposed method, described in the Part 1, are investigated through the parametric studies. A 10-bar truss example is considered, and the uncertain parameters include the number of data observed, and the variations of applied loadings and allowable stresses. The numerical results show that the proposed method can produce a consistent result despite of the large variations in the parameters. Especially, even with the relatively small data set, the analysis results show that the exact probabilistic model can be successfully predicted with optimized design sections. This consistency of estimating appropriate probability model is also observed in the case of the variations of other parameters, which verifies the robustness of the proposed method.

The research discusses interrelationship of structural and reliability importance measures which used in the probabilistic safety assessment. The most frequently used component importance measures, such as Birnbaum's Importance (BI), Risk Reduction (RR), Risk Reduction Worth (RRW), RA (Risk Achievement), Risk Achievement Worth (RAW), Fussel Vesely (FV) and Critically Importance (CI) can be derived from two structure importance measures that are developed based on the size and the number of Minimal Path Set (MPS) and Minimal Cut Set (MCS). In order to show an effectiveness of importance measures which is developed in this paper, the three representative functional structures, such as series-parallel, k out of n and bridge are used to compare with Birnbaum's Importance measure. In addition, the study presents the implementation examples of Total Productive Maintenance (TPM) metrics and alternating renewal process models with exponential distribution to calculate the availability and unavailability of component facility for improving system performances. System state structure functions in terms of component states can be converted into the system availability (unavailability) functions by substituting the component reliabilities (unavailabilities) for the component states. The applicable examples are presented in order to help the understanding of practitioners.

The efficiency and accuracy of handwriting measurement could be improved by adopting digital image processing. This study developed a computer-based Korean Handwriting Assessment tool. Second graders participated in this study by performing writing tasks of consonants, vowels, words, and sentences. We extracted boundary parameters for each letter using digital image processing and calculated the variables of size, size coefficient of variation (CV), misalignment, inter-letter space, inter-word space, and ratio of inter-letter space to inter-word space. Children were also administered traditional handwriting and visuomotor tests. Digital variables from image processing were correlated with these previous tests. Using these correlations, we established a three-point scoring system that computed test scores for each variable. We analyzed inter-rater reliability between the computer rater and human rater and test-retest reliability between the first and second performances. The validity was examined by analyzing the relationship between the Korean Handwriting Assessment and previous handwriting and visuomotor tests. We suggested the Korean Handwriting Assessment to measure size, size consistency, misalignment, inter-letter space, inter-word space, and space ratio using digital image processing. This Korean Handwriting Assessment tool proved to have reliability and validity. It is expected to be useful for assessing children's handwriting.

Disparity Map 예측의 목적은 유사한 두개 또는 그 이상의 이미지들에서 서로 대응하는 픽셀을 찾는 데 있다. 하지만 실제 환경에서 정확하고 일정한 Disparity를 획득하는 것은 어려운 문제이다. 즉, 스테레오 이미지의 Intensity 정보는 조명 방향, 조명 색상, 카메라 노출과 같은 Radiometric 특성에 쉽게 영향을 받을 수 있다. 따라서 기존의 일반적인 Disparity Map 예측 방법은 Radiometric 조건에서 좋은 결과를 얻기 힘들다. 본 논문에서는 실제 환경에 근접한 Radiometric 변화에서 신뢰성을 가지는 Disparity Map 예측 방법을 제안한다. 스테레오 이미지에서 하나의 이미지가 다른 Radiometric 특성을 가지더라도 객체의 일정 블록 구간 내 픽셀의 Intensity가 일정성(Constancy)를 가진다는 것에 착안한다. 실험결과, 제안하는 방법이 Radiometric 조건에서 검증적인 대조군보다 정확한 Disparity Map을 보여준다. 결과적으로, 본 기술은 Radiometric 조건의 변화에서 안정적으로 Disparity Map을 예측한다.

Energy harvesting technology, which scavenges electric power from ambient, otherwise wasted, energy sources, has been explored to develop self-powered wireless sensors and possibly eliminate the battery replacement cost for wireless sensors. Among ambient energy sources, vibration energy can be converted into electric power through a piezoelectric energy harvester. For the last decade, although tremendous advances have been made in design methodology to maximize harvestable electric power under a given vibration condition, the research in reliability assessment to ensure durability has been stagnant due to the complicated nature of the multiple failure modes of a piezoelectric energy harvester, such as the interfacial delamination, fatigue failure, and dynamic fracture. Therefore, this study presents the first-ever system reliability analysis for multiple failure modes of a piezoelectric energy harvester using the Generalized Complementary Intersection Method (GCIM), while accounts for the energy conversion performance. The GCIM enables to decompose the probabilities of high-order joint failure events into probabilities of complementary intersection events. The electromechanically-coupled analytical model is implemented based on the Kirchhoff plate theory to analyze its output performances of a piezoelectric energy harvester. Since a durable as well as efficient design of a piezoelectric energy harvester is significantly important in sustainably utilizing self-powered electronics, we believe that technical development on system reliability analysis will have an immediate and major impact on piezoelectric energy harvesting technology.

본 논문에서는 각각 다른 캐리어 방향성을 가지는 strained-silicon PMOSFET에서 소자의 디지털 및 아날로그 성능을 비교 평가 하였다. 캐리어 방향이 <100>을 갖는 소자의 경우 이동도 향상에 의해서 <110> 방향의 소자 보다 우수한 드레인 구동 전류 및 출력저항 특성을 보이지만, NBTI 신뢰성과 소자의 matching 특성은 반대로 다소 열화 됨을 확인 하였다. 따라서 나노미터급 CMOSFET에서 캐리어 방향성을 이용한 이동도 향상 기술의 적용을 위해서는 DC 성능을 비롯한 신뢰성 및 아날로그 특성을 모두 고려하는 것이 반드시 필요하다고 할 수 있다.
