By use of a mortality forecasting model and a life table, forecasting the average life expectancy is an effective way to evaluate the future mortality level. There are differences between the actual values of average life expectancy at present and the forecasted values of average life expectancy in population projection 2006 from Statistics Korea. The reason is that the average life expectancy forecasts did not reflect the increasing speed of the actual ones. The main causes of the problem may be errors from judgment for projection, from choice, or use of a mortality forecasting model. In this paper, we focus on the choice of the mortality forecasting model to inspect this problem. Statistics Korea should take a mortality forecasting model with considerable investigation to proceed population projection 2011 without the errors observed in population projection 2006. We compare the five mortality forecasting models that are the LC(Lee and Carter) model used widely and its variants, and the HP8(Heligman and Pollard 8 parameter) model for handling death probability. We make average life expectancy forecasts by sex using modeling results from 2010 to 2030 and compare with that of the population projection 2006 during the same period. The average life expectancy from all five models are forecasted higher than that of the population projection 2006. Therefore, we show that the new average life expectancy forecasts are relatively suitable to the future mortality level.

An experimental study was carried out for the Elbrodur-NIB(copper alloy) at room temperature under stress-controlled uniaxial fatigue loading with and without mean stress. As a result, the effects of stress amplitude, mean stress and stress rate on ratcheting behavior were investigated. The ratcheting strain increased with increasing stress amplitude for a given mean stress, and with mean stress for a given stress amplitude. But, the ratcheting strain decreased as the stress rate increased. The three mean stress models were investigated and the mean stress models of Smith-Watson-Topper and Walker yielded good correlation of fatigue lives in the life range of $10^2-10^5$cycles.

노화는 자유라디칼에 의해 발생한다는 이론을 발표한 Hannan$^{(1)}$ 은 현재 선진국 수준의 환경이 주어질 경우 평균 기대수명은 85세 정도이며, 최대수명은 122세로 보고 있다. 2000년 현재 우리국민의 평균수명은 75.9세로서 1979년의 65.8세보다 약 10세가 증가하였으며, 이러한 수명증가 추세는 세계적으로 높은 기록이며 앞으로도 계속 증가할 것으로 예측되고 있다. 이에 따라 우리나라는 2000년에 65세 이상의 노인인구가 전체인구의 7%를 넘어서는 소위 “고령화사회”로 진입하였으며, 2020년에는 노인인구의 비율이 15%를 넘는 “고령사회”가 도래할 것으로 예상되고 있다.

선형 탄성 유한요소 응력해석과 평균응력 효과를 고려한 저주기 피로실험으로부터 결정된 피로 특성, 그리고 국부변형률 방법을 종합하여 외경에 흠이 존재하는 자긴가공된 두꺼운 압력 용기의 피로수명이 평가되었다. 직사각형의 매우 날카로운 흠에서의 응력집중계수는 타원형 홈에서의 응력집중계수의 약 두배의 값이 얻어졌으며, 고강도 압력용기강인 ASTM A723의 저주기 피 로거동에 대한 평균응력 영향은 Morrow 및 SWT 파라메타를 이용하여 충분히 고려되었다. 균열발생이 예상되는 위험한 부분인 홈의 뿌리부분에서의 국부적인 응력, 변형률이 계산되었으며 예측된 피로수명은 실험적으로 얻어진 수명과 비교했을 때 2에서 4배의 오차를 보이면서 일치 하는 결과를 얻었다.

The generation of babyboomers has a significant impact on the socio-economic development of the society in general. The Korean Babyboomers will soon leave from their workforce as they reach the retirement age. This, coupled with the low fertility rate, may cause a serious social problem in the society at large as well as the social welfare issues among the Korean elderly population. The Central Statistical Systems have estimated the future projection which plays critical role to establish fundamental basis for the social and economic policies of the nation. This study examined the effect of the babyboomers on the life expectancy by comparing forecasted life expectancies provided by the statistical office and the previous studies in the related areas. The study also suggested a future population projection based on fertility rates provided, along with the changes of the number of babyboomers as they become ageing. The study results with the comparison between the population projection by the statistical office are provided.

Life analysis is conducted for economic analysis of equipment or facilities. The purpose of life analysis is to predict future indicators for scrapping construction equipment, and establish and utilize a wide variety of business strategies according to data predictions. First, this study shows the methods to figure out average life, life expectancy and life prediction of construction equipment and the analysis of life making methods, using survival curves. Second, the study proposes and examines the life expectancy making model depending on revenues and expenses. The result of the study reveals that the economic life of the same equipment varies with expenses, revenues and the initial cost. The life expectancy making model for construction equipment reflects respective management status for equipment and will help efficient management for companies.

In this study, a strain-controlled fatigue test of widely-used 316L stainless steel with excellent corrosion resistance and mechanical properties was conducted, in order to assess its fatigue life. Low cycle fatigue behaviors were analyzed at room temperature, as a function of the strain amplitude and strain ratio. The material was hardened during the initial few cycles, and then was softened during the long post period, until failure occurred. The fatigue life decreased with increasing strain amplitude. Masing behavior in the hysteresis loop was shown under the low strain amplitude, whereas the high strain amplitude caused non-Masing behavior and reduced the mean stress. Low cycle fatigue life prediction based on the cyclic plastic energy dissipation theory, considering Masing and non-Masing effects, showed a good correlation with the experimental results.

In accelerated life tests, the failure time of an item is observed under a high stress level, and based on the time the performances of items are investigated at the normal stress level. In this paper, when the mean of the prior of a failure rate is known in the exponential lifetime distribution with censored accelerated failure time data, we utilize the empirical Bayesian method by using the moment estimators in order to estimate the parameters of the prior distribution and obtain the empirical Bayesian predictive density and predictive intervals for a future observation under the normal stress level.
