In the development process, the objective of a reliability growth program is to track the increase in system reliability, and determine as early as possible whether or not the system reliability is growing at a sufficient rate to meet the required goal and allocate available resources accordingly. Implementation of this kind of program will provide very useful information on concept selection, product/process reliability, and cost effectiveness without too much time, money and engineering effort being spent on the development of failure suspect parts. The purpose of this research is to present a practical method for efficiently monitoring a reliability growth test process using AMSAA(Army Materiel Systems Analysis Activity) reliability growth model. The presented growth management is a viable method for identifying failure modes, incorporating design changes and monitoring reliability progress on an on-going basis during the early stages of a product development program.

The endeavor of this paper focuses on designing a monitoring system to provide a cost-effective solution on quality assurance for construction projects. The construction site monitoring system integrates a long-range wireless network, network cameras, and a web-based collaborative platform. The users of the system could obtain the most updated status of construction sites, such as behaviors of workers, project progress, and site events anywhere with Internet connectivity. It was carefully configured in order to maintain the reliability under the reactive conditions of the construction sites. This paper reports the architecture of the monitoring system and reviews the related technologies. The system has been implemented and tested on a construction site and promising results were obtained.

Coverage-based software reliability growth models (SRGMs) have been developed and successfully applied in practice. Performance of a coverage-based SRG M depends on the coverage function employed by the SRGM. When the coverage function represents the coverage growth behavior well irrespective of type of the testing profile the corresponding coverage-based SRGM is expected to be widely applicable. This paper first conducts a study of selecting the most representative coverage functions among the available coverage functions. Then their performances are empirically evaluated and compared. The result provides a foundation for developing widely applicable coverage-based SRGMs and monitoring the progress of a testing process.

It was well recognized that the damages associated mainly with the aging of civil infrastructures were one of very serious problems for assurance of safety and reliability. Recently carbon fiber sheet(CFS) has been widely used for reinforcement and rehabilitation of damaged concrete beam. However, the fundamental mechanism of load transfer and its load-resistant for carbon fiber sheet reinforced concrete are not fully understood. In this study, three point bending test has been carried out to understand the damage progress and the micro-failure mechanism of CFS reinforced mortars. For this purpose, four different types of specimens are used, that is, mortar, steel bar reinforced mortar, CFS reinforced mortar, and steel bar and CFS reinforced morter. Acoustic Emission(AE) technique was used to evaluate the characteristics of damage progress and the failure mechanism of specimens. in addition, two-dimensional AE source location was also performed to monitor crack initiation and propagation processes for these specimens.

Concrete structures generally have cracks, so for the safety and durability of structures, studies to detect cracks using nondestructive tests have been treated in great deal. In order to assure the reliability of concrete structure, microscopic fracture behavior and internal damage progress of concrete under the loading should be fully understood. The purpose of this study predicts location of initial crack and measures direction of crack propagation for on-line monitoring before the crack really grows in structures by using two-dimensional Acoustic Emission(AE) source location based on rectangular method with three-point bending test. This will allow efficient maintenance of concrete structure through monitoring of internal cracking based on AE method.

Sensors and systems in Civionics technology play an important role for continuously facilitating real-time structure monitoring systems by detecting and locating damage to or degradation of structures. An advanced materials, design processes, long-term sensing ability of sensors, electromagnetic interference, sensor placement techniques, data acquisition and computation, temperature, harsh environments, and energy consumption are important issues related to sensors for structural health monitoring (SHM). This paper provides a comprehensive survey of various sensor technologies, sensor classes and sensor networks in Civionics research for existing SHM systems. The detailed classification of sensor categories, applications, networking features, ranges, sizes and energy consumptions are investigated, summarized, and tabulated along with corresponding key references. The current challenges facing typical sensors in Civionics research are illustrated with a brief discussion on the progress of SHM in future applications. The purpose of this review is to discuss all the types of sensors and systems used in SHM research to provide a sufficient background on the challenges and problems in optimizing design techniques and understanding infrastructure performance, behavior and current condition. It is observed that the most important factors determining the quality of sensors and systems and their reliability are the long-term sensing ability, data rate, types of processors, size, power consumption, operation frequency, etc. This review will hopefully lead to increased efforts toward the development of low-powered, highly efficient, high data rate, reliable sensors and systems for SHM.

Abnormal symptoms on operating conditions of power transformer are monitored by a preventive diagnostic system which prevents the sudden power failure in case of quick progress of abnormal situation. The preventive diagnostic system helps plan the proper maintenance method according to the transformer conditions via accumulated data. KEPCO has adopted the preventive diagnostic system at nine of 345kV substations since 1997. Application techniques of the diagnostic sensors were settled, but diagnostic algorithm and practical use of accumulated data are not yet established. To build up the diagnostic algorithm and effective use of the preventive diagnostic system, the reliability of the data which were accumulated in a server computer is very important. This paper describes the data analysis in the server in order to advance the reliability of the accumulated data of the preventive diagnostic system. The principles and data flows of the diagnostic sensors were analyzed, and the data discrepancy between sensors and server were calibrated.

This study presents a comprehensive procedure for the low cycle fatigue test of ultrasonically welded (UW) coated conductor (CC) lap-joints. The entire process is examined in detail, from the robust fabrication of the UW REBCO CC joints to the reliability testing under a low number of repeated cycle fatigue conditions. A continuous I_c measurement system enables real-time monitoring of I_c variations throughout the fatigue tests. The study aims to provide a step-by-step procedure that involves joint fabrication, electromechanical property (EMP) tests under uniaxial tension for stress level determination, and subsequent low-cycle fatigue tests. The joints are fabricated using a hybrid method that combines UW with adding In-Sn soldering, achieving a flux-free hybrid welding approach (UW-HW flux-free). The selected conditions for the low cycle fatigue tests include a stress ratio of R=0.1 and a frequency of 0.02 Hz. The results reveal some insights into the fatigue behavior, irreversible changes, and cumulative damage in the CC joints.

전 세계적으로 농업분야가 많이 줄어들고 있는 반면에, IT농업과 미래 먹거리에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있으며, ICT 기반 미래 농업 활성화를 위해 다양한 연구가 진행 중에 있다. 본 논문에서는 양액재배를 위해 온습도, pH(hydrogen ion), EC(Electric Conductivity) 등 생육환경을 모니터링 하는 동시에 최적의 환경을 유지하도록 LED, 쿨링팬 제어가 가능한 시스템을 제안한다. 생육환경 모니터링 및 제어를 위해 아두이노(Arduino) 하드웨어와 자바(Java) 소프트웨어를 이용하였으며, Wi-Fi 공유기를 활용해 소켓통신을 하고 데이터베이스 및 웹서버 인터페이스를 통해 여러 환경에서 식물을 쉽게 관리할 수 있다. 더욱이, 장소 및 시간에 구애 받지 않고 LED를 활용한 재배로 병해충이 생기지 않는 환경에서 지속적인 관리가 가능하여 단순 양액재배보다 빠르게 재배할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 더 나아가, ICT 미래 농업 활성화에 기여할 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.
