  • Human errors are now considered as the most significant source of accidents or incidents in large-scale systems such as aircraft, vessels, railway, and nuclear power plants. As 61% of the train accidents in Korea railway involving collisions, derailments and fires were caused by human errors, there is a strong need for a systematic research that can help to prevent human errors. Although domestic railway operating companies use a variety of methods for analyzing human errors, there is much room for improvement. Especially, because most of them are based on written papers, there is a definite need for a well-developed computerized system supporting human error analyzing tasks. The purpose of this study is to propose a framework for a computerized human error analysis system focused on the railway industry on the basis of human error analysis mechanism. The proposed framework consists of human error analysis (HEA) module, similar accident tracking (SAT) module, cause factor recommendation (CFR) module, cause factor management (CFM) module, and statistics (ST) module.

  • The sum of each work duration are entire period in construction project. Each work occurs to be late, the total period of construction project will delays. Therefore, the total period of construction project will not be delayed if probability of working progress makes higher. Finding each work's constraints performs constraints analysis in process of construction for checking probability of working progress. Grasp work's constraints through the constraints analysis and removes. This research will show preventing delay of consruction project, through constraints analysis process.

  • In clinical orthopaedics, bone resoption in the cortex is often seen post operatively on X-rays or bone densitometry after total hip replacement (THR) in the form of cortical osteoporosis or atropy. Stress shielding of bone occurs, when a load, normally carried by the bone alone, is shared with an implant as a result, the bone stresses are abnormal and with remodelling analysis this may cause extensive proximal bone resoption, possibly weakening the bone bed to the point of failure. The author made finite element models of the cemented and non-cemented type implanted femoral stem with bone resorption of the proximal medial femur and studied the feed back effect of the various degree of bone resoption to THR system by parametric analysis on the stress of the femoral stem and interface. The results of the present finite element analysis implied that the extent of proximal bone resorption has the effect of more increasing stress on the distal stem tip, cement mantle and interface in both type of femoral stem and this high distal stress possibly can cause the mechanical failure of loosening or failure after THR.

  • Objectives: The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of chain installation condition on stress distribution that could eventually cause disastrous failure from sudden deformation and geometric rupture. Methods: Fractographic method used for the failed chain indicates that over-stress was considered as the root cause of failure. 3D modeling and finite element analysis for the chain, used in a crane hook, were performed with a three-dimensional interactive application program, CATIA, commercial finite element analysis and computational fluid dynamic software, ANSYS. Results: The results showed that the state of stress was changed depending on the initial position of the chain that was installed in the hook. Especially, the magnitude of the stress was strongly affected by the bending forces, which are 2.5 times greater (under the simulation condition currently investigated) than that from the plain tensile load. Also, it was noted that the change of load state is strongly related to the failure of parts. The chain can hold an ultimate load of about 8 tons with only the tensile load acting on it. Conclusion: The conclusions of this research clearly showed that a reduction of the loss from similar incidents can be achieved when an operator properly handles the installation of the chain.

  • As artificial intelligence is actively studied, chatbot systems are being applied to various fields. In particular, many chatbot systems for psychological counseling have been studied that can comfort modern people. However, while most psychological counseling chatbots are studied as rule-base and deep learning-based chatbots, there are large limitations for each chatbot. To overcome the limitations of psychological counseling using such chatbots, we proposes a novel psychological counseling AI chatbot system. The proposed system consists of a GPT-2 model that generates output sentence for Korean input sentences and an Electra model that serves as sentiment analysis and anxiety cause classification, which can be provided with psychological tests and collective intelligence functions. At the same time as deep learning-based chatbots and conversations take place, sentiment analysis of input sentences simultaneously recognizes user's emotions and presents psychological tests and collective intelligence solutions to solve the limitations of psychological counseling that can only be done with chatbots. Since the role of sentiment analysis and anxiety cause classification, which are the links of each function, is important for the progression of the proposed system, we experiment the performance of those parts. We verify the novelty and accuracy of the proposed system. It also shows that the AI chatbot system can perform counseling excellently.

  • The failure of blades frequently happened in the 300MW LP turbine until now and they are maintaining the blades periodically during outage. So the blade-disk system is analysed by FEM in order to identify the main cause of failure of blade row. It is found that the stress of root's hole is highest in comparison with other parts from the result of the steady stress analysis. Also, the two dangerous frequencies which is related to the resonance condition are found in the interference diagram. one is 1,516 Hz which is related to the operating speed. The other is 2,981 Hz which is related to the 1 nozzle passing frequency. The dynamic stress analysis is per-formed to identify more accurate root cause for failure of blade row. It is confirmed that the dynamic stress of the latter is higher than one of the former. From these results, it is concluded that the former has deeply something to do with the failure of blades more than the latter. Based on versatile investigation and deliberation, the change of blade's grouping is determined to avoid the resonance condition with the operating speed. After the blade grouping is changed, the former frequency vanish completely but the latter is still in existence in the interference diagram. Fortunately, It is confirmed that the dynamic stress of the new blade grouping is lower than one of the old blade grouping. 2 years has passed since modification and the LP turbine is operated well without failure so far.

  • Recently, to resolve problems regarding legal liability for accidents and disasters, various simulation techniques such as F.E.M. and F.V.M. have been used in the field of forensic engineering. In this study, we performed mechanical structure analysis using ADINA to investigate the cause of bridge collapse accidents. Such accidents occurred owing to modified and missing processes in comparison with the original design while filling with concrete. Modified and missing processes cause buckling of the upper plate and twisting of the main girder. Through this study, we determine the exact cause of bridge collapse by comparing the evaluation of the structure stability of the original design with the evaluation of the structure stability of the modified and missing process using ADINA structure analysis. Hence, this result indicates that buckling prediction through FEA is the most effective method.

  • It is generally not preferable to install a turnout on a sharp curves but it is not desirable for the safety of a train. However, in a mountainous area or a depot where a sufficient space can not be secured to secure a straight line. In this study, in order to analyze the cause of train derailment accident that occurred in the place where turnout is installed in a sharp curves, we performed derailment analysis using line data and accident vehicle data measured at the location where the accident occurred. This derailment coefficient maximum turnout at the start of the track and derailment curve analysis showed that even big enough to cause a derailment as 1.37 in size, which was found to be consistent with the actual site survey results derailment occurred.
