Ground investigation data to be used as a basis for geotechnical analysis and foundation design are usually troubled with large uncertainty, due to natural variability and limited number of data. Statistical methods can be a rational tool for handling such uncertain ground data, in particular with a view to the selection of characteristic values for estimating ground design parameters used in design. The characteristic values of soil properties for use in geotechnical design have oftenly based on not only a subjective judgment but also engineer's past acumulated experience. This paper discussed some statistical methods which can handle such intrinsic ground uncertainty data with a case design in a rational manner.

This paper proposes a new algorithm for maintenance scheduling with considering load forecast uncertainty. The proposed algorithm is based on the equivalent load of effective load carrying capability(ELCC) of generators. The uncertainty of forecasted load is considered as a normal distribution probability density function. For maintenance scheduling, reserve levelization method and risk levelization method are used in this study. To test the algorithm, we applied the proposed method to IEEE reliability test system(IEEE RTS). As a result, we verified the validity of the proposed method.

In this paper, a controller design procedure for an electro-hydraulic positioning systems have developed using $H_\infty$ control theory. The generalized models and weighting functions for a multiplicative uncertainty modelling error is presented along with $H_\infty$ controller designs in order to investigate the robust stability and performance. The multiplicative uncertainty case is specifically suited for the design of an electro-hydraulic positioning control systems using $H_\infty$ control.

Selection of efficient supplier is a very important process as risk or uncertainty of a supply chain and its environment are increasing. Previous deterministic DEA and probabilistic DEAs are very limited to handle various types of risk and uncertainty. In this paper, I propose an improved probabilistic DEA which consists of two steps; Monte Carlo simulation and statistical decision making. The simulation results show that the proposed method is proper to distinguish supplier's performance and provide statistical decision background.

In this paper, a robust fault-tolerant control scheme for robot manipulators overcoming actuator failures is presented. The joint(or actuator) fault considered in this paper is the free-swinging joint failure and causes the loss of torque on a joint. The presented fault-tolerant control framework includes a normal control with normal(non-failed) operation, a fault detection and a fault-tolerant control to achieve task completion. For both no uncertainty case and uncertainty case, a stable normal con-troller and an on-line fault detection scheme are presented. After the detection and identification of joint failures, the robot manipulator becomes the underactuated robot system with failed actuators. A robust adaptive control scheme of robot manipulators with the detected failed-actuators using the brakes equipped at the failed(passive) joints is proposed in the presence of parametric uncertainty and external disturbances. To illustrate the feasibility and validity of the proposed fault-tolerant control scheme, simulation results for a three-link planar robot arm with a failed joint are presented.

In this paper, we consider the robust stability of uncertain linear systems with time-delay in the time domain. The considered uncertainties are both the unstructured uncertainty which is only Known its norm bound and the structured uncertainty which is known its structured. Based on Lyapunov stability theorem and{{{{ { H}_{$\infty$ } }}}} theory known as Strictly Bounded Real Lemma (SBRL), we present new conditions that guarantee the robust stability of system. Also, we extend this to multiple time-varying delays systems and large-scale systems, respectively. Finally, we show the usefulness of our results by numerical examples.

Many people think that Electric Vehicles(EVs) is the best method to resolve the problems of running out of fossil fuels. But EVs take long time for charging. So, EVs with battery swapping systems(EVBS) are developed to resolve this problem. Nonetheless, EVBS is not spreaded widely because the method of durability test in couplers is not defined. In this study, the evaluation method of durability test in couplers is defined by some standards and the measurement uncertainty is used to increase the reliability of EV couplers.

In this paper, a sliding mode control method with uncertainty adaptation is proposed by introducing the virtual state. Because upper bound of the uncertainty is very difficult to know, we estimate this by using the simple adaptation law and design the sliding surface which has dynamic of nominal system. An optimal controller is used by nominal controller. And if initial values of the virtual state are chosen properly, the reaching phase is removed.

In this paper, the robust controller design is performed for the speed control of the underwater vehicle diesel engine. Nonlinear model equations are acquired through the mathematical modeling using mean torque production model technique. It is very difficult to design the robust controller because those are high nonlinear and not expressed in terms of the matched uncertainty Therefore those are converted into the separable model into the linear nominal system and the nonlinear uncertainty term.

A current interest in chemistry concerns traceability of analytical measurements to the International System of Units (SI) and the proper estimation of their uncertainties in accordance with the internationally agreed guide provided by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). Isotope dilution mass spectrometry (IDMS) is regarded as a primary method, which make the measurement results traceable to SI units without significant empirical correction factors. Our laboratory, as the national standards institute of Korea, participated in an intercomparison of environmental analysis, pp'-DDE in corn oil, which was organized by the CCQM under supervision of the CIPM to test feasibility of IDMS as a primary method for the trace analysis of organic compounds. In this report, we provide basic equations used for the calculation of the concentration of the analyte in a sample and a precise description of the processes for the evaluation of the uncertainties of the measurement results. Also, we report the experimental conditions adopted to improve the accuracy of the IDMS measurement. The principles contained in ？？Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty in Measurement'' provided by ISO are followed for the uncertainty evaluation.
