An economic process monitoring procedure is presented using a surrogate variable for the case where performance variable is dichotomous. Every item is inspected with a surrogate variable and determined whether it should be accepted or rejected. When an item is rejected, the previous number of consecutively accepted items is compared with a predetermined number r to decide whether there is a shift in fraction nonconforming or not. The conditional distribution of the surrogate variable given the performance variable is assumed to be normal. A cost model is constructed which includes costs of inspection, misclassification, illegal signal, undetected out-of-control state, and correction. Methods of finding the optimum number r and screening limit are provided. Numerical studies on the effects of cost coefficients are also performed.

US transportation agencies are dealing with shrinking budgets, limited work forces, and deteriorating infrastructure. In order to cope with funding uncertainty, state highway agencies are now looking into their own organizations and identifying programs, practices, and processes that have potential for cost saving. A quality assurance (QA) program is an integral part of highway construction and ensures a project's contracted level of quality. The cost of quality (conforming and nonconforming) can constitute a sizable part of total construction cost. As the quality assurance programs evolved, various practices and processes were developed over time and later adopted by state highway agencies. These practices and processes include different QA standards and specifications, varying testing methods, central testing lab vs. on site testing, performance based vs. prescribed quality assurance practices, implementation of innovative quality assurance practices, etc. Therefore, there is an opportunity to assess different QA strategies and recommend those practices that are effective and cost efficient. A national survey was conducted by the authors, which provided a detailed mapping of various QA practices and processes used as part of QA programs and identified areas where agencies can focus on for cost savings. The survey found that QA sampling and testing plans, optimization of sampling plans, optimization of QA standards and specifications, and implementation of innovative test methods and processes are the main areas the agencies should focus to lean the current QA programs.

Consider a canning process where cans are filled with an expensive ingredient. Cans weighting above the specified limit are sold in a regular market for a fixed price, and underfilled cans are emptied and refilled at the expense of a reprocessing cost. In this paper, the effect of measurement error on the determination of the optimal process mean for a canning process is examined. It is assumed that the quantity X of ingredient in a can is normally distributed with unknown mean and known variance, and the observed value Y of X is also normally distributed with known mean and variance. A profit model is constructed which involves selling price. cost of ingredients, reprocessing cost. and cost from an accepted nonconforming can, and methods of finding the optimal process mean and the cutoff value on Y are presented. It is shown that the optimal process mean increases. and the expected profit decreases when the measurement error is relatively large in comparison to the process variance.

One of the main unresolved issues in large-eddy simulation(LES) of wall-bounded turbulent flows is the requirement of high spatial resolution in the near-wall region, especially in the spanwise direction. Such high resolution required in the near-wall region is generally used throughout the computational domain, making simulations of high Reynolds number, complex-geometry flows prohibitive. A grid-embedding strategy using a nonconforming spectral domain-decomposition method is proposed to address this limitation. This method provides an efficient way of clustering grid points in the near-wall region with spectral accuracy. LES of transitional and turbulent channel flow has been performed to evaluate the proposed grid-embedding technique. The computational domain is divided into three subdomains to resolve the near-wall regions in the spanwise direction. Spectral patching collocation methods are used for the grid-embedding and appropriate conditions are suggested for the interface matching. Results of LES using the grid-embedding strategy are promising compared to LES of global spectral method and direct numerical simulation. Overall, the results show that the spectral domain-decomposition grid-embedding technique provides an efficient method for resolving the near-wall region in LES of complex flows of engineering interest, allowing significant savings in the computational CPU and memory.

Purpose: The main function of INS (Inertial Navigation System) is to measure the position of an armed vehicle and its performance is confirmed through the positioning accuracy test of Korean Defense Standards (KDS). The current standards, however, do not provide clear test methods and the conditions for performing positioning accuracy tests. Accordingly, the purpose of this study is to develop a new method for positioning accuracy test which would be effective. Methods: In this study, a new INS positioning accuracy test method is suggested based on the analysis of test data collected through a statistical experiment known as central composite design. For the positioning accuracy experiment of K105A1, a self-propelled artillery, two factors of driving velocity and driving distance are considered. Results: Based on the analysis of experimental data, a regression model for the positioning error is fitted and the positioning accuracy test of INS is so developed to maximize the positioning error. The standard proximity rate is used as an additional test criterion to evaluate the performance level of INS. Conclusion: The proposed new positioning accuracy test for INS has the advantage of finding the nonconforming items effectively. It is also expected to be utilized for the other similar INS positioning accuracy tests.

Non-conforming mesh를 이용해 구조적인 불연속성을 해석 시 요소 내 함수 불연속성과 특이점이 존재하며, 이로 인해 계산의 효율성이 저하된다. 본 연구에서는 이 문제를 해결하기 위해 모멘트 피팅법을 응용한 선택적 확장기법(Duster and Allix, 2020)을 토대로 새로운 고효율 확장 기법을 제시하였다. 특히, 적분과정에서의 비효율성에 초점을 두고 두가지 개선 방안을 제안하고 이를 수치 예제를 통해 검증하였다. 첫째로 음함수-모멘트간 효율적 계산을 위해 인공신경망을 도입하였으며, 기존 확장 기법에 비해 해의 정확성이 유지되면서도 효율적인 계산이 가능함을 확인하였다. 더불어, 구조 해석과 형상 표상용 격자를 분리, 낮은 밀도의 구조 해석 격자에서도 정확성이 향상되었음을 보였다.

코로나19 팬데믹의 장기화로 인해 실내 생활에 지쳐가는 사람들이 우울감, 무기력증 등을 해소하기 위해 근거리의 산과 국립공원을 찾는 빈도가 폭발적으로 증가하였다. 자연으로 나온 수많은 사람들이 오가는 걸음을 멈추고 숨을 돌리며 쉬어가는 장소가 있는데 바로 약수터이다. 산이나 국립공원이 아니더라도 근린공원 또는 산책로에서도 간간이 찾아볼 수 있는 약수터는 수도권에만 약 6백여개가 위치해 있다. 하지만 불규칙적이고 수작업으로 수행되는 수질검사로 인해 사람들은 실시간으로 검사 결과를 알 수 없는 상태에서 약수를 음용하게 된다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 약수터 수질에 영향을 미치는 요인을 탐색하고 다양한 곳에 흩어져 있는 데이터를 수집하여 실시간으로 약수터 수질을 예측할 수 있는 모델을 개발하고자 한다. 데이터 수집의 한계로 인해 서울과 경기로 지역을 한정한 후 데이터 관리가 잘 이루어지고 있는 18개 시의 약 300여개 약수터를 대상으로 2015~2020년의 수질 검사 데이터를 확보하였다. 약수터 수질 적합 여부에 영향을 미칠 것으로 여겨지는 다양한 요인들 중 두 차례의 검토를 거쳐 총 10개의 요인을 최종 선별하였다. 최근 주목받고 있는 자동화 머신러닝 기술인 AutoML 기법을 활용하여 20여가지의 머신러닝 기법들 중 예측 성능 기준 상위 5개의 모델을 도출하였으며 그 중 catboost 모델이 75.26%의 예측 분류 정확도로 가장 높은 성능을 가지고 있음을 확인하였다. 추가로 SHAP 기법을 통해 분석에 사용한 변인들이 예측에 미치는 절대적인 영향력을 살펴본 결과 직전 수질 검사에서 부적합 판정을 받았는지 여부가 가장 중요한 요인이었으며 그 외 평균 기온, 과거 연속 2번 수질 부적합 판정 기록 유무, 수질 검사 당일 기온, 약수터 고도 등이 수질 부적합 여부에 영향을 미치고 있음을 확인하였다.
