Due to the large scale application of software systems, software reliability plays an important role in software developments. In this paper, a software reliability growth model (SRGM) is proposed. The testing time on the right is truncated in this model. The instantaneous failure rate, mean-value function, error detection rate, reliability of the software, estimation of parameters and the simple applications of this model are discussed .

The problem of trend change in the failure rate is great interest in the reliability and survival analysis. In this paper we develop a test statistic for testing whether or not the failure rate changes its trend based on a complete sample. Monte Carlo simulations are conducted to investigate the speed of convergence of the proposed test statistic.

There is the possibility that human error during testing and maintenance brings about the failure of the system, the reliability of which depends on mechanical failure and human error. This paper deals with the calculation of the reliability of the redundant system with the dependent hunman error through Karnaugh Map. Two cases are considered. One is the reli- ability of the system neglecting the test interval of each component and the other is that considering the test interval of each component.

This paper presents the root cause failure analysis of the circulating water pump in the 560 MW thermal power plant. A fractured austenitic stainless-steel shaft operated for 24 years was examined. Fracture morphology was investigated by micro and macro-fractographic analysis. The metallurgical analyses including chemical analysis, metallography and hardness testing were performed. The analysis reveals that the pump shaft was fractured due to the reverse bending load with combination of rotating bending load. Corrective actions for plant operator was recommended based on the analysis.

To study the effects of foam core density and face-sheet thickness on the mechanical properties and failure modes of aluminum foam sandwich (AFS) beam, especially when the aluminum foam core is made in aluminum alloy and the face sheet thickness is less than 1.5 mm, three-point bending tests were investigated experimentally by using WDW-50E electronic universal tensile testing machine. Load-displacement curves were recorded to understand the mechanical response and photographs were taken to capture the deformation process of the composite structures. Results demonstrated that when foam core was combined with face-sheet thickness of 0.8 mm, its carrying capacity improved with the increase of core density. But when the thickness of face-sheet increased from 0.8 mm to 1.2 mm, result was opposite. For AFS with the same core density, their carrying capacity increased with the face-sheet thickness, but failure modes of thin face-sheet AFS were completely different from the thick face-sheet AFS. There were three failure modes in the present research: yield damage of both core and bottom face-sheet (Failure mode I), yield damage of foam core (Failure mode II), debonding between the adhesive interface (Failure mode III).

많은 소프트웨어 프로젝트는 시험이나 운영단계에서 고장시간이나 고장 수 데이타보다 그룹 고장 데이터(여러 고장 간격에서 또는 가변적인 시간 간격에서의 고장들)가 수집된다. 본 논문은 그룹 고장 데이터에 대해 가변적인 미래의 시간에서 누적 고장 수를 예측할 수 있는 신경망 모델을 제시한다. 2개의 변형된 캐스케이드-상관 학습 알고리즘을 제안하였다. 제안된 신경망 모델들은 다른 잘 알려진 신경망 모델과 통계적 소프트웨어 신뢰도 성장 모델과 비교되었다. 실험결과, 그룹 데이터에 대해 변형된 캐스케이드-상관 학습 알고리즘이 좋은 예측 결과를 나타내었다.

This paper considers the problem of estimating parameters of the bivariate exponential distribution with a location parameter for a two-component shared parallel system using component data from system-level life test terminated at the time of the prespecified number of system failure. In the system-level life testing, there are three patterns of failure types ; 1) both component failed 2) both component censored 3) one is failed and the other is censored. In the third case, we assume that the failure time might be known or unknown. The maximum likelihood estimators are obtained for the case of known/unknown failure time when the other component is censored.

This study aims to the increasing the reliability of gun firing system of patrol killer guided missile from failure mode analysis. In order to find out the breakdown parameter, the examination process of the sources of the problems and the quality improvement activities are analyzed with performance testing data. From this study, the rate of operation and the reliability of 76 mm naval guns will be increase. And the result of the study is expected to be used as a reference data in the naval gun firing system for another failure mode analysis.

Stress-strain responses of weak-to-strong carbonate rocks used for tunnel construction were studied. The analysis of applicability of exponential stress-strain models based on Haldane's distribution function is presented. It is revealed that these exponential equations presented in transformed forms allow us to predict stress-strain relationships over the whole pre-failure strain range without mechanical testing of rock samples under compression using a press machine and to avoid measurements of axial failure strains for which relatively large values of compressive stress are required. In this study, only one point measurement (small strain at small stress) using indentation test and uniaxial compressive strength determined by a standard Schmidt hammer are considered as input parameters to predict stress-strain response from zero strain/zero stress up to failure. Observations show good predictive capabilities of transformed stress-stress models for weak-to-strong (${\sigma}_c$ <100 MPa) heterogeneous carbonate rocks exhibiting small (< 0.5 %), intermediate (< 1 %) and large (> 1 %) axial strains.

컴포넌트 맞춤(customization)으로 인해 변형된 ‘인터페이스 부분’과 ‘핵심기능 부분’의 상호작용에서 발생하는 오류를 효과적으로 테스트하기 위한 테스트 기법은 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 오류 삽입기법과 뮤테이션 테스트 케이스 선정 기법을 사용하여 컴포넌트 맞춤 테스트 기법을 제안한다. 컴포넌트의 인터페이스 가운데 맞춤 오류가 일어나는 곳에만 오류를 삽입하여, 맞추어진 컴포넌트와 오류가 삽입된 컴포넌트를 차별하는 테스트 케이스를 선정한다. 따라서 본 기법은 컴포넌트 맞춤에 의한 오류를 발견할 가능성이 높은 테스트 케이스를 선정할 수 있으며, 인터페이스 가운데 맞춤 오류가 일어나는 부분만을 테스트 대상으로 함으로써, 테스트 시간을 단축할 수 있다.
