본 연구에서는 장치가 가지고 있는 신뢰도 데이터와 가격을 고려하여 공정에서 요구하는 신뢰도에 도달할 수 있도록 최적화 분석을 수행하여 어떠한 장치를 선택하는가에 대한 방법을 제시하였다. 이산함수를 이용한 목적함수와 제한 조건을 이용하여 보다 실질적인 최적화 문제를 구성하였다. 재? 반응기를 대상으로 하여 시스템에서 요구하는 신뢰도 목표 값에 도달하기 위해 가격에 따라 다른 고장률을 가지는 장치에 대하여 최적화 분석을 수행하였다. 이러한 최적화 분석을 수행하기 위해 mixed-integer programming(MIP) 방법을 사용하였다. 재? 반응기의 신뢰도 목표값이 $1.65{\times}10^{-04}$일 경우에 최적화 분석 수행결과는 가격과 고장률이 모두 좋은 장치로 분석되었다. 그러나 신뢰도 목표값이 낮을 경우 최적화 분석의 수행결과는 비싼 장치의 선택보다 가격과 신뢰도가 낮은 장치를 선택함으로써 원하는 신뢰도 목표값에 도달할 수 있었다.

신뢰성평가는 고속철도교량에 포함된 불확실성의 영향을 고려하여 정량적 구조안전성을 검토하기 위한 효율적인 방안이며, 신뢰성평가에 기초한 기대생애주기비용은 고속철도교량의 합리적인 안전수준 및 설계기준을 제공할 것이다. 따라서 이 연구에서는 수치해석과 신뢰성평가 결과를 바탕으로 고속철도교량의 기대생애주기비용 및 최적설계 방안을 결정하고자 한다. 이를 위해, 고속철도교량의 표준설계를 기준으로 다양한 설계방안을 설정한 후, 각각의 설계방안에 대해 수치해석을 수행하였으며, 설계강도 한계상태방정식에 따른 신뢰성평가는 수치해석결과를 토대로 외적 불확실성의 영향을 고려하여 수행하였다. 고속철도교량의 기대생애주기비용은 각각의 설계방안에 따른 신뢰성평가 결과를 바탕으로 산정 하였다. 또한 최적설계 방안은 산정된 기대생애주기비용을 이용하여 결정하였다. 아울러, 최적설계 방안의 신뢰성평가 결과 및 기대생애주기비용에 대해 내적 불확실성의 영향을 고려하여 검토하였다. 이 연구결과는 고속철도교량의 체계적인 안전성 평가 및 최적 구조설계를 위한 기초자료로 활용될 것으로 기대된다.

This study is intended to propose a systematic approach for reliability-based assessment of life cycle cost (LCC) effectiveness and economic efficiency for cost-effective seismic upgrading of existing bridges. The LCC function is expressed as the sum of the upgrading cost and all the discounted life cycle damage costs, which is formulated as a function of the Park-Ang damage index and structural damage probability. The damage costs are expressed in terms of direct damage costs such as repair/replacement costs, human losses and property damage costs, and indirect damage costs such as road user costs and indirect regional economic losses. For dealing with a variety of uncertainties associated with earthquake loads and capacities, a simulation-based reliability approach is used. The SMART-DRAIN-2DX, which is a modified version of the well-known DRAIN-2DX, is extended by incor-porating LCC analysis based on the LCC function developed in the study. Economic efficiencies for optimal seismic upgradings of the continuous PC segmental bridges are assessed using the proposed LCC functions and benefit-cost ratio.

This paper deals with cost analysis model in periodic maintenance policy. The repair policy with minimal repair is considered as follow : as the occurrence of failure between minimal repair and periodic interval time, unit is replaced by a new unit before the periodic maintenance time comes. Then total expected cost per unit time is calculated according to time delta t in a view of customer's. The total expected costs are included repair and usage cost : operating, fixed, minimal repair, periodic maintenance and new unit expected cost. Numerical example is shown in which failure time of item has Normal distribution.

This article is concerned with cost analysis model in periodic maintenance policy. The repair policy is differently applied according as unit importance during an item being used and unit restoration during an item being failed. So in this paper the repair policy with minimal repair is considered as follow : as the occurrence of failure between minimal repair and periodic interval time, unit is replaced by a spare unit until the periodic maintenance time arrived. Then total expected cost per unit time is calculated according to scale parameter of failure distribution in a view of customer's. The total expected costs are included repair and usage cost : operating, fixed, minimal repair, periodic maintenance and spare unit cost. Numerical example is shown in which failure time of item has Erlang distribution.

This paper develops a warranty cost model for complex systems with imperfect repair within a warranty period by addressing a practical case that the first inter-failure interval is longer than any other inter-failure intervals. The product is in its best condition before the first failure if repair is imperfect. After the imperfect repair, other inter-failure intervals which are explained by renewal processes, are stochastically smaller than the first inter-failure interval. Based on this idea, we suggest the failure-interval-failure-criterion model. In this model, we consider two random variables, X and Y where X represents failure intervals and Y represents failure criterion. We also obtain the distribution of the number of failures and conduct the warranty cost analysis. We investigate different types of warranty cost models, reliabilities and other measures for various systems including series-parallel configurations. Several numerical examples are discussed to demonstrate the applicability of the methodologies derived in the paper.

Replacement policy of a degradation system is investigated by incorporating the loss function. Loss function is defined by the deviation of the value of quality characteristic from its target value, which determines the loss cost. Cost function is comprised of the inspection cost, replacement cost and loss cost. Two cost minimization problems are formulated : 1)determination of an optimal inspection period given the state for the replacement and 2)determination of an optimal state for replacement under fixed inspection period. Simulation analysis is performed to observe the variation of total cost with respect to the variation of the parameters of loss function and inspection cost, respectively As a result, parameters of loss function are seen to be the most sensitive to the total cost. On the contrary, inspection cost is observed to be insensitive. This study can be applied to the replacement policy of a degradation system which has to produce the quality critical product.

In this paper, cost analysis is conducted using inter-failure interval under renewable warranty subject to imperfect repair for multi-component system. One way to model the imperfect repair is to use the quasi-renewal process (Wang and Pham 1996). Two alternative quasi-renewal processes were suggested by Park and Pham (2010) using quasi-renewal process; first is an altered quasi-renewal process with random variable parameter and second is a mixed quasi-renewal process considering replacement service and repair service, simultaneously. In this study, we use the altered and mixed quasi-renewal processes and develop the warranty cost model to obtain the expected value of warranty cost and to help company make important decisions regarding the warranty policy. Numerical examples are used to demonstrate the applicability of the methodology derived in the paper.

This study is intended to propose a systematic and practical life cycle cost(LCC) model for the development of the reliability-based seismic safety and cost-effective performance criteria for design and upgrading of long-span PC bridges. The LCC models consist of five cost functions such as initial cost, repair/replacement cost, human losses, road user cost, and indirect losses of regional economy. The proposed model Is successfully expressed in temrs of Park-Ang damage indices and life cycle damage probability obtained from SMART-DRAIN-2DX which is an existing algorithm for nonlinear time history analysis. The proposed LCC model is successfully applied to a viaduct constructed by PSM, in Seoul. Based on the observations, the proposed systematic procedure for the formulation of LCC model may be useful for the development of the reliability-based seismic safety and cost-effective performance criteria for design and upgrading of long-span PC bridges.
