This study is about the process capability index (PCI). In this study, we introduce several indices including the index CPR and present the characteristics of the CPR as well as its validity. The difference between the other indices and the CPR is the way we use to estimate the standard deviation. Calculating the index, most indices use sample standard deviation while the index CPR uses range R. The sample standard deviation is generally a better estimator than the range R . But in the case of the panel process, the CPR has more consistency than the other indices at the point of non-conforming ratio which is an important term in quality control. The reason why the CPR using the range has better consistency is explained by introducing the concept of ‘flatness ratio’. At least one million cells are present in one panel, so we can’t inspect all of them. In estimating the PCI, it is necessary to consider the inspection cost together with the consistency. Even though we want smaller sample size at the point of inspection cost, the small sample size makes the PCI unreliable. There is ‘trade off’ between the inspection cost and the accuracy of the PCI. Therefore, we should obtain as large a sample size as possible under the allowed inspection cost. In order for CPR to be used throughout the industry, it is necessary to analyze the characteristics of the CPR . Because the CPR is a kind of index including subgroup concept, the analysis should be done at the point of sample size of the subgroup. We present numerical analysis results of CPR by the data from the random number generating method. In this study, we also show the difference between the CPR using the range and the CP which is a representative index using the sample standard deviation. Regression analysis was used for the numerical analysis of the sample data. In addition, residual analysis and equal variance analysis was also conducted.

The necessity of large-area and high-precision measurements has increased in industry area. The high-speed/high-precision multi probe measurement system has been developed to measure the 3D shape. The three different multi probes are combined in measurement system. This system is synchronized between the probes to measure the same position in the sample. Also this paper shows the measurement results with multi probe measurement system.

The motivation of this paper is to identify the variation of stress filed in multi-strand tendon anchorage system using electromechanical impedance measurement. To achieve the objective, the following approaches are implemented. Firstly, stress variation in multi-strand anchorage system due to strand breakage is analyzed to determine the location of impedance acquisition. Secondly, a piezoelectric-based interface technique is designed to localize the damage strand. Lastly, the conceptual design of the PZT-interface is preliminarily verified by an experimental test. Impedance signatures obtained from PZT-interface are quantified by using RMSD index (root-mean-square-deviation). The result shows that the PZT-interface technique is promisingly to identify damage strands.

In this study, multipoint dynamic vertical displacement of liquid in the tuned liquid damper (TLD) is measured by a laser Doppler vibrometer (LDV) and a Galvanometer scanner to overcome limitations of existing sensors and to leverage noncontact sensing.

본 연구에서는 선박의 항해 안전성과 정박 중인 선박의 계류 안전성 평가에 기초가 되는 선체운동 평가를 위한 다목적 계측시스템을 개발하는데 있다. 다목적 계측시스템은 선박에 탑재되어 외력에 의해 발생하는 동적 동요를 계측 및 분석하기 위해 상하, 좌우, 전후방향의 가속도량을 측정하는 3축 가속도 계측기를 포함하여, 방위 센서, 2축 경사계 및 초음파 변위계로 구성하였다. 선박의 항해 및 계류 안전성을 종합적으로 평가하기 위해서는 특정 센서를 이용, 선체운동을 실시간으로 측정하여 내항성능 평가 시스템과 항해 또는 정박 중인 선박의 상태에 관한 선박 데이터베이스 시스템을 이용하여 평가한다. 개발된 다목적 계측시스템은 해상에서의 전복사고 분석, 선박 출입항 통제, 부두에서의 하역작업 통제, 조선소에서의 내항성능 및 안전설계에 있어서도 적용이 가능하리라 본다.
