There is a new trend of incorporating software coverage metrics into software reliability modelling. This paper proposes a coverage-based software reliability growth model. Firstly, the failure rate function in coverage is analytically derived. Then it is shown that the number of detected faults follows a Nonhomogeneous Poisson distribution of which intensity function is the failure rate function in coverage. Practical applicability of the proposed models is examined by illustrative numerical examples.

The present contribution addresses uncertainty quantification and uncertainty propagation in structural mechanics using stochastic analysis. Presently available procedures to describe uncertainties in load and resistance within a suitable mathematical framework are shortly addressed. Monte Carlo methods are proposed for studying the variability in the structural properties and for their propagation to the response. The general applicability and versatility of Monte Carlo Simulation is demonstrated in the context with computational models that have been developed for deterministic structural analysis. After discussing Direct Monte Carlo Simulation for the assessment of the response variability, some recently developed advanced Monte Carlo methods applied for reliability assessment are described, such as Importance Sampling for linear uncertain structures subjected to Gaussian loading, Line Sampling in linear dynamics and Subset simulation. The numerical example demonstrates the applicability of Line Sampling to general linear uncertain FE systems under Gaussian distributed excitation.

It is known that Reliability Differentiated Pricing (RDP) can improve the efficiency and benefits of consumers and producers. This paper examines the long-run social welfare maximization problem of the utility and presents a long-term reliability differentiated prices for firm capacity, based on customer outage costs. Then the applicability of the proposed pricing scheme is verified with a case study.

상수관망 시스템은 다수의 이용자에게 용수를 공급하기 위한 사회기반시설물로써, 적절한 수압을 유지하고 안정적으로 용수를 공급할 수 있어야 한다. 따라서 안정적인 설계와 효율적인 운영을 위해서는 상수관망 시스템의 용수 공급능력을 정량적으로 파악하는 것이 중요하다. 이러한 노력의 일환으로 상수관망 시스템 내 에너지 거동을 통해 신뢰도를 정량화한 신뢰도 지수가 다양한 방법으로 개발되어 왔다. 대부분의 신뢰도 지수는 공통적으로 절점에서의 최소요구수두 및 초과수두의 형태로 공급된 에너지를 기반으로 산정되며, 일부 지수의 경우 상수관망에 공급된 총 에너지 또는 용수 공급과정에서 손실된 에너지를 추가적으로 고려하여 산정된다. 본 연구에서는 상수관망의 용수 공급 과정에 따른 에너지 구성 요소를 소개하였으며 기존에 개발된 몇 가지 신뢰도 지수를 대상으로, 상수관망의 공급부하 상황을 고려한 시나리오 분석을 통해 신뢰도 지수의 적용성을 알아보고자 하였다. 또한, 각 절점 별 지수값을 도시함으로써, 상수관망 내 신뢰도의 공간적 분포를 나타내어 분석함으로써 보다 확장된 시스템 신뢰도 지수의 활용방안을 제시하였다.

A reliability based slope stability assessment method is proposed and examined considering the variation of matric suction which is measured by a real time slope monitoring system. Mean value first order reliability method and advanced first order reliability method are used to calculate reliability indices of a slope. The applicability of methods is compared by applying them to the range of matric suctions measured by the real-time monitoring system. Sensitivity analysis is also performed to examine the contribution of random variables to the reliability index of slope. Finally, the proposed method is applied to a model slope. The results show that the reliability index of slope can be used for efficient slope management by quantifying the risk of slope in real time.

A hybrid structural reliability analysis method that integrates a commercial finite element program and a reliability analysis algorithm is proposed to estimate the safety of real structures in this paper. Since finite element method (FEM) is most commonly and widely used in the analysis and design practice of real structures, it appears to be necessary to use general FEM program in the structural reliability analysis. In this case, simple conventional reliability methods cannot be used because the limit state function can only be expressed in an algorithmic form. The response surface method(RSM)-based reliability algorithm with the first-order reliability method (FORM) found to be ideal in this respect and is used in this paper. The intention of use of RSM is to develop, albeit approximately, an explicit expression of the limit state function for real structures. The applicability of the proposed method to real structures is examined with help of the example in consideration of a concrete dam. Both the strength and serviceability limit states are considered in this example.

In this study, we compared the VacCAD and VacTran, commercial vacuum simulators, to investigate the simulation applicability and efficiency as vacuum simulation software. It was verified on reliability and simplicity of simulation modelling, and characteristics of the pump combinations, pumping down curves, and employed vacuum materials. First, usability of simulation schematics was estimated through the modeling tools and the overall simulation characteristics of each simulator were compared to evaluate the applicability in practice. Simulation reliability of each simulator was also probed by comparing the pumping performance characteristics of commercial high vacuum system models. In addition, the degree of tolerances on both simulators was also evaluated through pumping down analysis considering outgassing effect due to chamber material variations. The higher effectiveness and expediency of VacCAD than VacTran has been presented, and it was also expected that the utilization of VacTan in vacuum applications to be increased due to the higher availability of modelling variations.

The purpose of this study is to analyse the accuracy of weather forecasts of temperature, precipitation probability , and sky condition and to evaluate the applicability of weather forecasts for the estimation of potential evapotranspiration for irrigation scheduling. Five weather station s were selected to compare forecasted and measured climatcal data. The error between forecasted and measured temperature was calculated and discussed. The accuracy of temperature forecast using relative frequency of the error was calculated . The temperature forecasting showed considerably high accuracy. Average sunshine hours for forecasted sky conditions were calculated and showed reasonable quality. From the reliability graphs, the forecasting precipation probabililty was reliable. Potential evapotranspirations were calculated and compared using forecast and measured temperatures. The weather forecast is considered usable for irrigation scheculing.
