Hypereutectic Al-25Si-X alloys, expected to be applied to the cylinder-liner-part of the engine-block of an automobile due to the excellent wear resistance, low density and low thermal expansion coefficient has been fabricated through a spray forming process. The obtained microstructure of the hypereutectic Al-25Si-X alloy appeared to consist of Al matrix and equiaxed Si particles of average diameter of $5-7{\mu}m$. To characterize the deformation behavior of this alloy, a series of load relaxation and compression tests have been conducted at temperatures ranging from RT to $500^{\circ}C$. The strain rate sensitivity parameter (m) of this alloy has been found to be very low (0.1) below foot and reached 0.2 at $500^{\circ}C$. During the deformation above 300'c in compression, strain softening has been observed. The diagram of extrusion pressure vs. ram-speed has been constructed, providing the extrusion condition of Al-25Si-X alloys.

Fault tree is a widely used methodology for analyzing product reliability. The fault trees are usually constructed using the experiences of expert reliability engineers in top-down approaches and have different structures according to each expert's subjectivity. In this work it is tried to find a general method for the fault tree construction based on the function tree that is the result of product function deployment. Based on the function tree, the method has the advantage of resulting an objective fault tree since the faults are defined as the opposite concept of functions. The fault tree construction of this work consists of the following steps: 1) definition of product primary function with the viewpoints of product operation and configuration, 2) construction of functional relation chart using a grouping algorithm, 3) abstraction of functional block diagram according to operation sequences and configuration of a product, 4) construction of function tree for each viewpoint, and 5) construction of fault tree by matching the function tree and simplification of the result.

Large scale systems, the facilities for the production of power, gas and chemical, have the complex structures. Most systems require the high reliability for the improvement of process efficiency, but it is difficult to analyze the reliability of processes with complex structures. In this study, we investigated reliability path of chemical process with k-out-of-n system by reliability block diagram(RBD) and calculated the reliability of process through the failure enumeration method of reliability path. This method should help in analyzing the reliability of k-out-of-n system.

Noise propagated through the ventilation openings of enclosures is actively controlled using an FIR filter. The enclosures considered in this paper are used for isolating noise due to machinery. This method is of limited use because of the ventilation openings through which most of noise is propagated. Feedforward control strategy is incorporated to minimize the acoustic power propagated through the openings. For the real-time implementation, although it is numerical study, the controller is implemented using an FIR filter. The acoustic transfer functions of the pressure on the openings of the enclosure to the primary source and to the secondary source are numerically calculated using the boundary element method. The performance analysis of the active control is conducted with the time-domain simulation using Matlab Simulink.

Hypereutectic Al-25Si alloy, which is expected to be applied to the cylinder-liner-part of the engine-block of an automobile due to its excellent wear resistance, low density and low thermal expansion coefficient, has been fabricated through a spray forming process. The obtained microstructure of the hypereutectic Al-25Si alloy appeared to consist of Al matrix and equiaxed Si particles of average diameter of 5-7 mm. To characterize the deformation behavior of this alloy, a series of load relaxation and compression tests have been conducted at temperatures ranging from RT to $500^{\circ}C$. The strain rate sensitivity parameter (m) of this alloy has been found to be very low (0.1) below $400^{\circ}C$ and reached maximum value of about 0.2 at $500^{\circ}C$. During the deformation above $300^{\circ}C$ in compression, strain softening has been observed. The diagram of extrusion pressure vs. ram-speed has been constructed. The extrusion has been successfully conducted at the temperatures of $300^{\circ}C$ and above with the ratio of area reduction of 28 and 40 in this study.

The purpose of this paper is to determine the expected percentage of the 'VTS addressable' casualties that could be prevented with the installation of fourth level(Automatic Dependent Surveillance) of coastal VTS. In this study, it determines the VTS benefit by multiplying casualty rate reduction factors by the effect level of causal factors. The development of casualty rate reduction factors was based on the questionnaire survey, and the evaluation of effect levels was based on the causal analysis using functional block diagram. The results of this paper are compared With the results of worldwide literature related to the VTS effectiveness. One or more of the key variable inputs of this study, casualty rate reduction factors, may be somewhat uncertain and therefore subject to sensitivity analysis.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to develop the accelerated life test method for Constant Electrical Potential Electrolysis gas sensor (CEPE gas sensor). Methods: The parts and modules of CEPE gas sensor were analyzed by using Reliability Block Diagram (RBD). Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA) and Quality Function Deployment (QFD) methods were performed for each part to determine the most affecting stress factor in its life cycle. The long term testing was conducted at three different dry heat levels and the acceleration factor was developed by using Arrhenius relationship. Conclusion: The acceleration factor for CEPE gas sensor was developed by using FMEA, QFD, and statistical analysis for its failure data. Also qualification tests were designed to meet the target life.

This paper describes the methodology of an IEC 1131-3-based control logic generator for the control system design and converting algorithm between programmable languages. The proposed control logic generator is generated based on the software model and common element with data type, variables, POUs(program organization unit) and execution control unit commonly used within programmable languages of IEC 1131-3 Standard. The generation method of object file was proposed on five programmable language based on IECI 131-3. The generation method of object file is represented as following; 1) the generation method using conversion algorithm from LD to IL with FBD(function block diagram), 2) the generation method using C code generation algorithm from SFC using the SFC execution sequence with FBD and ST(structured text). The proposed control logic generator was implemented by Visual C++ and MFC on MS-windows NT 4.0

Operator Training Simulators (OTSs) provide macroscopic training environment for plant operation. They are equipped with simulation systems for the emulation of remote monitoring and controlling operations. OTSs typically provide 2D block diagram-based graphic user interface (GUI) and connect to process simulation tools. However, process modeling for OTSs is a difficult task. Furthermore, conventional OTSs do not provide real plant field information since they are based on 2D human machine interface (HMI). In order to overcome the limitation of OTSs, we propose a new type of plant training system. This system has the capability required for collaborative training between operators and field workers. In addition, the system provides 3D virtual training environment such that field workers feel like they are in real plant site. For this, we designed system architecture and developed essential functions for the system. For the verification of the proposed system design, we implemented a prototype training system and performed experiments of collaborative training between one operator and two field workers with the prototype system.
