RAM (Reliability, Availability and Maintenance) has been applied to design and analysis tools which affects system's operational sustainability and its life cycle cost as RAM-c(2009 DoD). RAM-c plays also an important role to guarantee the system engineering for mission assurance. Reliability is highly related to the probability of system failure. Availability means mission capability or the condition of ready to mission. Maintenance includes both the repair to recover the system in the event of failure/unexpected breakdown and proactive maintenance to prolong the design service life of the system or machinery. It is the purpose that this paper is to analyze and conclude the objective service life of UAV. The more UAV is operated, the less the level of its reliability becomes. Repairing failures and supplying spare parts on time, system reliability could be improved up until the time over target. Applying statistical Weibull distributions, this paper suggests the analysis of the design service life and economic life of UAV based on RAM-c with operational data.

A simple model for RAM (Reliability, Availability and Maintainability) analysis and its computer code are developed for application to DUPIC fuel fabrication system. The approach is obtained by linking the allocation model (top-down method) to bottom-up method for RAM analysis. As a result, the availability requirement of subsystem, as well as the buffer storage requirement between processes, are evaluated for the DUPIC facility..

This paper is concerned with the life-cycle cost(LCC) of the urban transit system which was developed by KRRI and is now under test in Gyeongsan, Korea. Its reliability, availability and maintainability(RAM) were analyzed. LCC is the core part of analyzing the total cost of acquisition and ownership of a system. LCC analysis of a system is the most effective when it is applied in the it's early design phase. In this paper, we present IEC 60300-3-3(Life Cycle Costing) in detail and propose how to apply LCC in assessing the urban transit system according to RAM process. This case study demonstrates that reliability management system is very effective in reducing the operating cost of subway corporations in Korea.

수자원 개발이 자연 하천 생태계에 미치는 다양한 악영향들은 하천에 서식하는 동 식물의 생태서식지의 변화를 초래할 수 있다. 하천생태계를 보전하고 복원하기 위해서는 수리학과 생물학이 연계된 생태수리학적 모형을 지속적으로 연구 개발하여 수자원 개발에 따른 장래의 물리적인 거동을 비교적 정확하게 분석 및 예측하는 것이 필요하다. 본 연구의 목적은 21세기 프론티어 연구사업 'RAMS (River Analysis and Modeling System) 적용' 과제 중 개발된 RAM2, RAM4, RAM6 해석 모형으로부터 유속, 수위, 수온, SS, 하상고, 하상재료 데이터를 받아들여 GIS와 연계하는 2차원 하천 생태 모형 (RAM 8)을 개발하는 것이다. 그리고 개발에 따른 모형 검증을 위해서 우리나라 4대 강 중 유일하게 하구둑이 설치되어 있지 않아 자연적인 하천지형과 기수역 생태계가 잘 보존된 한강 하구부를 적용구간으로 선정하여, 서식지 적합성을 판단하고 그에 따른 적정 유량을 산정하여 1차원 서식처 모형인 PHABSIM을 이용한 결과와 비교한다.

항공기 엔진 체계의 신뢰성과 안전성을 분석하는 것은 RAM 분석이라고 한다. RAM은 제작자가 개발한 시스템의 지속가능성 혹은 그 체계의 수명주기비용(Lice Cycle Cost)에 중대한 영향을 줄 수 있는 시스템 설계특성을 의미한다. 또한 RAM은 시스템이 개발될 당시에 의도된 임무를 수행할 수 있는 능력 혹은 임수수행을 성공할 수 있도록 담보하는 중요한 역할을 한다. RAM은 1970년대 이후 미국 군수분야에서는 군수지원성분석(LSA, Logistic Support Analysis) 과 밀접히 연계되어 활용되어 왔으며, RAM과 LSA를 통합하여 종합군수지원체계(ILS, Integrated Logistics Support)라고 부른다. 본 연구에서는 항공기 엔진에 대한 신뢰성 분석에 Weibull 분포를 활용하였다. Weibull 분포는 2개의 변수 적용에서 다음과 같이 정의된다. 변수가 그 계의 어떤 값을 나타내느냐에 따라 분포도 곡선의 특성 의미는 변수에 의존된다. 예를 들어 시험성적, 사회적 특성을 표현하는 인지도, 산업 제품의 고장이나 결함을 나타내는 고장관련 모수(변수) 등에 따라 그 특징을 나타내게 된다. 항공기 엔진의 신뢰성 분석을 통해 항공기 엔진의 수명 판단이 가능해졌으며 임무 불가능 수준의 In-Flight Shut-Down 비율이 현격히 감소됨을 확인할 수 있었다.

RAM(Reliability, Availability, Maintainability) is important performance factor to keep combat readiness and optimize operational and maintenance cost of weapon systems. This paper discusses the method to establish RAM for combat readiness by using field failure data from similarity equipments. Operational availability is estimated from a binomial distribution function of user's operational conditions such as combat readiness preservation probability, operational rate, operational availability and total number of equipment. Reliability and maintainability is estimated from field failure data from similarity equipment to accomplish operational availability. The effectiveness of established RAM is verified through analysis of combat readiness preservation probability and mission reliability. A case study of weapon system illustrates the process of the proposed method.

The objective of this paper is to provide a model for effective implementation of costing RAM management in the design and procurement of production facility considering the system cost-performance trade-off. This research proposes a two-step approach of costing RAM design and test of system RAM for production facility. In Step 1, a static model is proposed to find an initial system configuration to meet the required performance based on system RAM and LCC and analyzes the trade-off relationships between various factors of RAM and LCC. In the second Step, we developed time and failure truncated models for system reliability test and analysis. For the computational purpose, we developed computer programs and have shown the sample results. By the sample test run, the proposed model has shown the possibilities to provide a good method to analyze system performance evaluation for both design and operational phase, This model can be applied to a wide variety of systems not only for costing RAM of the production facilities but also for the other kinds of equipment.

Prediction of fragmentation in bench blasting is one of the most important factors to establish the production plan. It is widely accepted that fragmentation could be accurately predicted using the Kuz-Ram model in bench blasting. Nevertheless, the model has an ambiguous or subjective aspect in evaluating the model parameters such as joint condition, rock strength, density, burden, explosive strength and spacing. This study proposes a new method to evaluate the parameters of Kuz-Ram model, and the predicted mean fragment sizes using the proposed method are examined by comparing the measured sizes in the field. The results show that the predictions using Kuz-Ram model with the proposed method coincide with field measurements, but Kuz-Ram model does not reflect the in-situ rock condition and hence needs to be improved.

The numerical simulation is conducted for analysis flame structure of superdetonative ram accelerator experiment by ISL(French-German Research Institute in Saint Louis). Fully coupled chemically non-equilibrium Navier-Stokes equation is used. Shockwave structure of superdetonative ram accelerator and behavior of detonation wave is studied. Maintaining of detonation wave is very important to accelerate projectile, Because detonation wave make high pressure gases and this high pressure accelerate projectile.
