As many systems depend on electronics, concern for fault tolerance is growing rapidly. For example, a car with its steering controlled by electronics and no mechanical linkage from steering wheel to front tires(steer-by-wire) should be fault tolerant because a failure can come without any warning and its effect is devastating. In order to make system fault tolerant, there has been a body of research mainly from aerospace field. This paper presents the structure of predictive smoothing voter that can filter out most erroneous values and noise. In addition, several numerical simulation results are given where the predictive smoothing voter outperforms well-known average and median voters.

We compared between prosthetic aortic valve size and aortic annulus size in supravalvular aortic cineangiogram in 30` RAO view postoperatively. Retrospectively, supraaortic cineangiogram of 27 patients among the patients underwent aortic valve replacement only or double valve replacement from April, 1986 to January, 1987 was examined and measured the aortic annulus size. In comparing the two values, the cases within 1mm is 22, and the cases within 2mm is 25, correlation coefficient yield r = 0.92. In two cases, the difference between two values is within 3mm We concluded that to prevent the complication from mismatching the prosthetic aortic valve size to patient`s annulus size [e.g. left ventricular failure, hemolysis, limited exercise tolerance], prediction of the prosthetic valve size preoperatively by use of cineangiogram is useful.

피로 파괴연구의 급격한 발전에 따라 최근의 기계나 구조물들은 많은 분야에서 손상허용설계원리에 근거하여 설계되고 있다. 이러한 상황 하에서 피로파손의 정확한 특성을 밝히는 것은 신뢰성을 고려한 기계나 구조물의 설계에 있어 가장 중요한 요인이 된다. 피로파손은 많은 랜덤요소를 내포하고 있으므로 실험결과 분석 및 수명예측을 분석하기 위해서는 통계학적 해석이 요구되고 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 회전굽힘피로시험을 수행하고 피로수명을 분석하는데 정규분포, 대수분포, 지수분포 및 Weibull분포를 이용하여 실험결과와 비교하고 파손확률을 찾는데 있다.

A System can be more Dependable from some types of Threats if the Dependability Level Against the Threat on the System is Increased. However, The Dependability-performance Tradeoff should be Considered because the Increased Dependability may Degrade the Performance of the System. Therefore, it is Efficient to Temporally Increase the Dependability Level to High only when an Threat is Predicted on the System in a Short time while Maintaining the Level in Low or mid in Normal Situations. In this Paper, we Present a Threat Prevention Strategy for a Networked Node by Dynamically Changing the Dependability Level According to the Threat Situation on its Logically/physically Neighboring Nodes. As case Studies, we Employ our Strategy to an Internet Server Against TCP SYN Flood Attacks and to a Checkpoint and Rollback System Against Transient Faults. Our Performance Analysis Shows that our Strategy can Effectively Relieve the Damage of the Failure without Serious Performance Degradation.

Ultra high pressure system, which can be generally increased over 1,000bar, needs to have sealing mechanism to protect leakage and selection of the materials used in the intensifier. Components such as pressure vessel, hydraulic hose assembly, accumulator, hydraulic cylinder, hydraulic valve, pipe, etc., are tested under the impulse-pressure conditions. Components need to be tested under 1.5 to 3 times of rated pressure to check the tolerance even though rated pressure range of these components are not ultra high pressure. So, the ultra high pressure system needs to be equiped to test components. In this study, safety assessments of ultra high pressure system which are using failure analysis of components, changing the types of the control system, and finite element analysis with static condition, are investigated.

This paper investigates the effect of ductile deformation behavior of high performance hybrid fiber-reinforced cement composites (HPHFRCCs) on the shear behavior of coupling beams to lateral load reversals. The matrix ductility and the reinforcement layout were the main variables of the tests. Three short coupling beams with two different reinforcement arrangements and matrixes were tested. They were subjected to cyclic loading by a suitable experimental setup. All specimens were characterized by a shear span-depth ratio of 1.0. The reinforcement layouts consisted of a classical scheme and diagonal scheme without confining ties. The effects of matrix ductility on deflections, strains, crack widths, crack patterns, failure modes, and ultimate shear load of coupling beams have been examined. The combination of a ductile cementitious matrix and steel reinforcement is found to result in improved energy dissipation capacity, simplification of reinforcement details, and damage-tolerant inelastic deformation behavior. Test results showed that the HPFRCC coupling beams behaved better than normal reinforced concrete control beams. These results were produced by HPHFRCC's tensile deformation capacity, damage tolerance and tensile strength.

It is very important that the analysis of postbuckling characteristics for stiffened composite structure. Damage tolerance design concept has been imported in many aerospace structures design to increase the structural efficiency and material failure is an inevitable process in postbuckling behavior. These design concepts are very efficient but consume very much calculation time in analytical process. The proper analysis method for reducing calculation time was researched and the total analysis time was reduced. A selection of proper element, the large load increments in linear response region, and the termination of analysis for unnecessary region were imported in the analysis and about $70\%$ time reduction was achieved with keeping a high accuracy of results.

A metal flaperon of a supersonic aircraft including the ribs, and skins was re-designed with a graphite/epoxy composite material to evaluate the weight saving effect. MSC/NASTRAN was used for the finite element analysis. The safety of the composite structures were evaluated in terms of the failure index, section cut, buckling, bearing/bypass and durability and damage tolerance analysis. After the application of the composite material, total weight saving of 25.6 pounds was achieved.

A brake pedal for the flight control system of the Korean primary trainer is developed using composite material. The development includes the structural design, stress analysis, manufacturing and the qualification tests. A FEM analysis is used for the structural design and stress analysis. Autoclaving process is used to fabricate the composite brake pedal. For the qualification tests, modular fixtures are developed and applied. It is shown that the composite brake pedal developed meets all the structural integrity requirements specified in the military specification for aircraft parts.

In this paper, a fault-tolerant Mini-MAP system with high reliability is proposed. For fault-tolerance, the LLC sublayer, MAC sublayer, and physical layer of the Mini-MAP system are dualized. The detection of faults, the replacement of the failed network, and the management of the network are three major functions required for the dualization, and they are performed by ESM(Error Supervisory Machine), EMM(Error Management Machine), and NMM(Network Management Machine) of the proposed fault-tolerant Mini-MAP system, respectively. The ring maintenance function of the MAC sublayer is used for the detection of the faults. In the proposed fault-tolerant Mini-MAP system, the data are received from both of the dualized networks and transmitted to the selected one of the two. We analyze the reliability and the MTTF(Mean Time To Failure) of the proposed fault-tolerant Mini-MAP system and show that it has better performance compared to a general Mini-MAP system.
