Reduction of risk plays a pivotal role in the development of medical instruments. A hyperbaric oxygen chamber, as a medical device, is known to help medical therapy for diversity of diseases through provision of high purity oxygen. The use of hyperbaric oxygen is expected to increase in the future and study to rigorously examine reliability and safety is needed. We have performed risk assessment for a newly developed hyperbaric oxygen chamber in this study. We first briefly discussed the system structure and concept of risk assessment for the study. Based on the hazards identified, we performed preliminary hazard analysis for the chamber.

Nuclear power generation is increasing domestic power supply ratio by lower CO2 emission and fuel prices. Currently, nuclear power generator has been operated with maximum power output. Therefore, nuclear power generator could be no effect to managing the reactive power reserve on power system. The reactive power reserve is calculated to the difference between maximum facility and operation generation capacity of the power system. This paper was proposed that load following of nuclear power is control by using 15-bus power system model. In the simulation result, power system is shown to safety state by operating load following of nuclear power generator. This method has be improved the supplied reliability through economic and efficient operation.

Among many tests to verify the characteristics of power system apparatus, the short circuit test is performed to verify the performance characteristics of the apparatus under the short-circuited power system. The verification of the short-circuit performance is inevitable for the reliability of power system and the safety of the operator around. The short circuit performance test requires the suitable power source and Korea Electrotechnology Research Institute has 4000 MVA, 500 MVA short circuit generators for the short circuit performance test. This paper will study on the parameters of short-circuit generator and the estimation of them.

The waterhammer occur when the pumps are started or stopped for the operation or tripped due to the power failure, and the hydraulic transients take place as a result of the sudden change in velocity. Several times, the field tests of the waterhammer were carried out for Pangyo booster pumping station. Pangyo pumping station was installed with the booster pumps of 6 sets and the in-line pumps of 2 sets. The in-line pumps are additionally needed to the surge suppression device so that the pumping station acquire the safety and reliability for the pressure surge.

One of the most efficient designs for manufacturing LNG tank is the Moss spherical type because it has been validated through precise analyses with respect to reliability and construction safety by stress analysis. The Moss spherical tank is assembled with hundreds of Al thick plate patches that are deformed to curved shape at elevated temperature and welded together. It is essential to evaluate the amount of deflection in the Al5083 thick plate when the patch is transferred from the heating chamber to the forming die since the patch has a length of 12,000 mm and a thickness of 60 mm. Based on FE analysis results, a design procedure for minimizing deflection in Al5083 thick plate during transfer using a moving carrier is demonstrated in this paper.

본 논문에서는 결함의 영향을 받지 않고 동작할 수 있는 AVTMR(All Voting Triple Modular Redundancy) 시스템과 듀얼 듀플렉스(Dual-duplex) 시스템을 설계하고, 각 시스템의 평가를 통하여 RAMS(Reliability, Avaliability, Maintainability, Safety)를 비교하였다. ABTMR 시스템은 3중화된 보터(voter)를 사용하여 설계를 하였으며, 듀얼 듀플렉스 시스템은 비교기(comparator)를 이용하여 시스템을 설계하였다. 각 시스템은 버스 레벨로 데이터를 비교하도록 설계하였으며, 시스템 평가를 위해서 소자의 고장율은 MILSPEC-217F에 기반을 두고 RELEX6.0을 이용하였고, 마코브 모델(Markov model)을 이용하여 시스템의 RAMS를 평가하였다. 본 논문에서는 각 시스템을 MC68000을 기반으로 설계하여, 각각 시스템에 사용되는 비용 및 시스템이 어느 부분에서 선호될 수 있는가를 RAMS 및 MTTF(Mean Time To Failure)를 통하여 선택할 수 있는 기반을 제시하도록 나타내고 있다. 이러한 AVTMR이나 듀얼 듀플렉스 시스템(dual-duplex system)은 결함 허용 시스템(fault tolerant system)으로 인간의 생명과 직접적인 관련이 있는 고속철도 시스템이나 항공기 시스템에 적용될 수 있다.

In the design of the rotor of an interior permanent magnet synchronous motor (IPMSM), the bridge between the permanent magnets helps prevent the scattering of permanent magnets and pole pieces during high-speed operation. In the design of a motor, if the bridge is too thick, its performance will be largely degraded because of flux leakage. Additionally, if the bridge is too thin, its mechanical safety cannot be guaranteed. Thus, an accurate analysis method is required to determine the thickness of the bridge. Conventional stress analysis methods determine the thickness of the bridge by only considering the centrifugal force of the rotors. In this study, however, a method that additionally considers the radial force generated by the air-gap flux density based on the conventional methods is proposed and reflected in the design of a traction motor for electric vehicles. Finally, the validity of this study is verified through a reliability test related to high-speed operation.

On-line condition monitoring is a useful tool for maintaining and extending the longevity of power transformers. An intelligent diagnostic system is desirable for operational safety and reliability. Bringing these concepts together results in a powerful support tool for engineers, reducing the volume of data to deal with, and making the data more meaningful. This paper describes how a multi-agent system for diagnosing the cause of transformer partial discharge activity was coupled with a method of UHF partial discharge monitoring, creating an on-line condition monitoring system. The challenges presented by the on-site environment are discussed, along with the implications for the complete system.

The pulse-echo method is one of the most widely used ultrasonic techniques for application of nondestructive evaluation. Particularly, quantitative nondestructive evaluation of defects has been considered more important to assure the reliability and the safety of structure. Frequency energy in adhesive joints is based on the ultrasonic wave analysis. The attenuation coefficient upon wave amplitude and the frequency energy that is expressed in the term of wave pressure amplitude were utilized for the primary wave experiment. By means of a control experiment, it was confirmed that the variation of the frequency energy in adhesive joints depends on transition by stress variation. In this paper, the ultrasonic characteristics were measured for single lap joint and Double Cantilever Beam specimen with different fracture modes that was subjected to stress. Consequently, the data that was obtained from the adhesive specimen was analytically compared to the fracture mechanics parameter
