Frontier (1976) suggested a criterion based on the expected length of ordered random intervals under the Broken-stick model (Barton and David, 1956) to determine the optimal number of principal components retained. It is considered to be one of the methods that provide the most consistent simulation results (Jackson, 1993). This study is aimed to propose a method using the distribution of ordered random intervals to evaluate the contribution of principal components. We also examine several types of Gini indices along with the corresponding Lorenz curves to visualize the overall equivalence of those contributions.

A SIM card socket is used for a cell phone to fix an USIM card and a push-push mechanism is typically employed in the SIM card socket for a user convenience. A SIM card is inserted with locking when a user pushes the card once and a SIM card is removed with unlocking when a user pushes the card again. A push-push mechanism is operated by a heart-cam structure and a main spring. A cam slider and a cam stick consisting a push-push mechanism may be broken because of the main spring. So, dynamic stress at a cam slider and a cam stick which is generated by a main spring during operating should be analyzed and considered in the push-push mechanism design. In this paper, a flexible multibody model of a push-push mechanism was developed to analyze dynamic stress at a cam slider and a cam stick.
