제한된 환경인 실험실에서 짧은 시험 시간으로 신속하게 수명을 파악할 수 있는 가 속시험 데이터와 극한 환경시험 데이터는 실험실 데이터로서 정밀한 결과를 제공하지 만, 실제 사용 환경을 잘 반영하지 못한다. 그러나 사용현장데이터인 보증데이터는 보 증기간 동안 보증서비스 센터에 접수된 고장으로부터 얻어진 필드 데이터로 사용자의 실제 사용 환경에 따른 제품 고장을 파악할 수 있으므로 제품의 수명을 추정하기에 더욱 효과적일 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 보증데이터의 특징을 설명하였으며 보증정책에 따른 분석방법으로 1 차원, 2차원으로 분류하였다. 이에 따른 연구 동향과 적용 현황을 조사하여 보증데이 터를 사용한 필드 신뢰성 분석의 효과적인 활용방안을 논의하고자 한다.

In modern society, the delivery service market has grown explosively due to rapid changes in social structure and the recent COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, various problems such as injury to workers and an increase in human accidents are occurring due to the loading and unloading of parcels. In order to solve this problem, domestic company n is developing a “robot-based cargo loading and unloading system”. In developing a new technology system, quantitative reliability targets should be set for efficient operation and development. In this paper, reliability analysis was conducted through field data for the pneumatic gripper of the “robot-based cargo loading system”. The reliability of the failure data was analyzed to estimate the distribution parameters and MTTF. Random data was derived for the probability of occurrence of a failure with the estimated value. By repeating the simulation to predict the number and year of failures according to the estimated parameters of the probability distribution, it was proposed as a method that reflects realistic probabilities rather than calculating with simple arithmetic using the average MTTF previously used in the field.

Purpose: This study aimed to systematically analyze the reliability and validity of Korean versions of mobility and gait assessment tools for patients with stroke. Methods: Two reviewers conducted an independent literature search and systematically reviewed the literature. Literature published until June of 2017 was searched using search engines for electronic databases. The 2 reviewers reviewed the title and abstract of each article. Among the articles examined, we read the full text of those judged to be suitable for our study. We classified the selected data into research methods and results. The determination was made through mutual agreement. Results: The reviewers selected 5 articles related to the purpose of this study. The DGI was found to be moderately associated with BBS, 10MWT, and TUG in intra-rater reliability (ICC=0.92), inter-rater reliability (ICC=0.88), and concurrent validity tests. The FGA demonstrated a high level of reliability with intra-rater (ICC=0.92-0.95) and inter-rater reliability (ICC=0.91, 0.95). The intra-rater reliability of the RMI was high at ICC=0.98. Its concurrent validity showed a high association with STREAM and BI. The intra-rater reliability of the MAS was ICC=0.75-0.99. Its inter-rater reliability was very high, exceeding 0.99. The inter-rater reliability of the Tinetti-gait Scale was ICC=0.91, and its concurrent validity was moderately associated with the DGI, 10WMT, OLST, FM-L/E, and STS. Conclusion: The results of this study revealed that the reliability and validity of the Korean versions of the mobility and gait assessment tools were high.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the agreement and intra-tool reliability between Kinovea (a manual video analysis tool) and a Python-based markerless pose estimation system powered by MediaPipe for deep squat posture biomechanical analysis. Methods: Thirteen asymptomatic participants (8 males, 5 females; 24.2±3.1 years; BMI<30) performed three squat repetitions. Movements were captured using two synchronized HD cameras from frontal and right lateral views. Key indices-peak hip/knee flexion, SHK/HKA angles, and proportional symmetry indices-were analyzed. Statistics included paired t-tests for bias, Cohen's d for effect size, and ICC(3,1) for reliability. Results: No significant differences were found between tools for proportional indices or SHK angles (p>0.05). Although HKA2 variance approached significance (p=0.051), its absolute mean difference (-2.13°) was clinically negligible. Both tools demonstrated excellent relative reliability across all variables (all ICCs>0.89). Proportional indices showed the highest consistency (ICC=0.956) , followed by SHK (ICCs ≥0.924) and HKA angles (ICCs ≥0.895). Conclusions: Under controlled 2D conditions, both the MediaPipe-based markerless system and Kinovea demonstrated high agreement and excellent reliability for deep squat analysis. This cross-validation identifies proportional symmetry indices (ICC=0.956) as a robust shared metric. Practically, Kinovea suits small-scale, detail-oriented research requiring expert adjudication. Conversely, the automated markerless system is ideal for large-scale, high-throughput applications like sports screening. Future studies should validate these findings in clinical populations and under 3D conditions to broaden generalizability.

The altitude engine test is carried out to measure the performance of the engine of flight vehicle at the high altitude environment prior to the flight test. During the test, The measured pressures and temperatures at various positions, air flow rate, fuel flow rate, thrust of the engine are measured. These measured values are used to calculate the representative performance values such as the net thrust and the specific fuel consnmption. Hence each of the measured parameter has effects on the total uncertainty of the performance values. In this paper, the combined standard uncertainties of the net thrust and the specific fuel consumption were estimated from the uncertainties of the various measured values. Also, by estimating the repeatability and the reproducibility, the confidence levels of the altitude engine test were validated by the analysis of variation on the repeated test data by different tester groups.

Background Wearable gait analysis devices are increasingly used in clinical practice to evaluate spatiotemporal gait parameters. StepLab is one such device; however, research on its reliability for gait analysis remains limited. Purpose This study aimed to evaluate the test?retest reliability of spatiotemporal gait parameters measured using the StepLab IMU-based wearable device in healthy young adults. Study design Cross-sectional study Methods Forty healthy participants (20 females and 20 males; mean age 21.7±3.44 years) completed three 10-meter walk trials at a comfortable, self-selected pace. The same protocol was repeated one week later to assess measurement consistency. Gait parameters, including gait speed, swing duration, stance duration, cycle time, cadence, stride length, and step length, were analyzed. Test?retest reliability was determined using intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC 3,2). Bland?Altman analysis and standard error of measurement (SEM) were additionally calculated. Results All spatiotemporal gait parameters demonstrated good to excellent test?retest reliability, with ICC values ranging from 0.84 to 0.99 and small SEM estimates across variables. Bland?Altman analysis revealed minimal mean differences and narrow limits of agreement, indicating high measurement consistency between sessions. Conclusions The StepLab device demonstrated good to excellent test?retest reliability for spatiotemporal gait parameters in healthy young adults under controlled indoor conditions. However, caution is warranted when interpreting these findings due to the homogeneous sample and the short 10-meter walking distance. Future studies should examine reliability in clinical and elderly populations, assess longer walking tasks, and validate StepLab against gold-standard gait analysis systems before broader clinical application.

Objective To replace camera-based three-dimensional motion analyzers which are widely used to analyze body movements and gait but are also costly and require a large dedicated space, this study evaluates the validity and reliability of inertial measurement unit (IMU)-based systems by analyzing their spatio-temporal and kinematic measurement parameters. Methods The investigation was conducted in three separate hospitals with three healthy participants. IMUs were attached to the abdomen as well as the thigh, shank, and foot of both legs of each participant. Each participant then completed a 10-m gait course 10 times. During each gait cycle, the hips, knees, and ankle joints were observed from the sagittal, frontal, and transverse planes. The experiments were conducted with both a camerabased system and an IMU-based system. The measured gait analysis data were evaluated for validity and reliability using root mean square error (RMSE) and intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) analyses. Results The differences between the RMSE values of the two systems determined through kinematic parameters ranged from a minimum of 1.83 to a maximum of 3.98 with a tolerance close to 1%. The results of this study also confirmed the reliability of the IMU-based system, and all of the variables showed a statistically high ICC. Conclusion These results confirmed that IMU-based systems can reliably replace camera-based systems for clinical body motion and gait analyses.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate the test-retest reliability and concurrent validity of the joint angle of the lower extremities during sit-to-stand movements with wearable sensors based on a portable gait analysis system (PGAS), and the results were compared with a analysis system (MAS) to predict the clinical potential of it. Design: Cross-sectional study. Methods: Sixteen persons with stroke (9 males, 7 females) participated in this study. All subjects had the MAS and designed PGS applied simultaneously and eight sensor units of designed PGAS were placed in a position to avoid overlap with the reflexive markers from MAS. The initial position of the subjects was 90º of hip, knee, and ankle joint flexion while sitting on a chair that was armless and backless. The height of the chair was adjusted to each individual. After each trial, the test administrator checked the quality of data from both systems that measured sit-to-stand for test-retest reliability and concurrent validity. Results: As a result, wearable sensor based designed PGAS and MAS demonstrated reasonable test-retest reliability for the assessment of joint angle in the lower extremities during sit-to-stand performance. The intra-class correlation coefficients (ICCs) for wearable sensor based designed PGAS showed an acceptable test-retest reliability, with ICCs ranging from 0.759 to 0.959. In contrast, the MAS showed good to excellent test-retest reliability, with ICCS ranging from 0.811 to 0.950. In concurrent validity, a significant positive relationship was observed between PGAS and MAS for variation of joint angle during sit-to-stand movements (p<0.01). A moderate to high relationship was found in the affected hip (r=0.665), unaffected hip (r=0.767), affected knee (r=0.876), unaffected knee (r=0.886), affected ankle (r=0.943) and unaffected ankle (r=0.823) respectively. Conclusions: The results of this study indicated that wearable sensor based designed PGAS showed acceptable test-retest reliability and concurrent validity in persons with stroke for sit-to-stand movements and wearable sensors based on developed PGAS may be a useful tool for clinical assessment of functional movement.

Background: As social problems due to the acceleration of the aging era and the increase in the elderly population are becoming serious, virtual reality (VR)-based healthcare is emerging as an approach for preventing and managing health issues. Objects: This study used validity and reliability analyses to examine the clinical efficacy that is, the clinical value and usability of a novel VR cognitive evaluation system index that we developed. Methods: We developed a VR cognitive evaluation system based on motion recognition analysis evaluation for individuals aged 65 to 85. After conducting the Korean version of the Mini-Mental State Exam (K-MMSE) cognitive evaluation, the evaluation score was verified through correlation analysis in the VR cognitive evaluation system. To verify the construct validity of the two groups, the Global Deterioration Scale (GDS) grades were categorized into a normal cognitive group (GDS grade 1) and a cognitive impairment group (GDS grades 2 and 3). The data were measured twice to determine the reliability between the two measurements and assess the stability and clinical value of the evaluation system. Results: Our evaluation system had a high correlation of 0.85 with the widely used K-MMSE cognitive evaluation. The system had strong criterion-related validity at the 95% confidence interval. Compared to the average score of GDS grade 1 in the VR cognitive evaluation system, the average score of GDS grades 2 and 3 in the VR cognitive evaluation system was statistically significantly lower while also having strong construct validity at the 95% confidence interval. To measure the reliability of the VR cognitive evaluation system, tests-retests were conducted using the intraclass correlation coefficient (3,1), which equaled 0.923 and was statistically significant. Conclusion: The VR cognitive evaluation system we developed is a valid and reliable clinical tool to distinguish between normal cognitive status and mild cognitive impairment.

Background: Although magnetic resonance imaging is accurate, it is expensive to measure the movement of temporomandibular joint. The three-dimensional (3D) motion analysis system is an inexpensive measurement tool. Objects: This study examined the reliability of quantifying the mouth opening and lateral mandibular shift and differences between individuals with and without temporomandibular disorder (TMD) using the hygienic method of surface markers on the skin with 3D ultrasound-based motion analysis. Methods: This study included 24 subjects (12 with and 12 without TMD). Temporomandibular joint motion during mouth opening was recorded using two surface markers with 3D ultrasound-based motion analysis. An intraclass correlation coefficient [ICC (3,k)] was used to confirm the intrarater reliability of quantifying kinematic temporomandibular joint motion, and an independent t-test was used to evaluate differences in maximal mouth opening and lateral mandibular shift between the two groups. Results: Assessment of mouth opening and lateral mandibular shift showed excellent test-retest reliability with low standard error of measurement. The lateral mandibular shift and opening-lateral mandibular shift ratio were significantly increased in the TMD group during maximum mouth opening (p<.05). However, no significant difference in maximal mouth opening was observed between the groups with and without TMD (p>.05). Conclusion: This hygienic and simple surface marker method can be used to quantify the mouth opening and lateral mandibular shift at the end-range of mouth opening. The TMD group showed an increased lateral mandibular shift movement at the end-range of mouth opening. The lateral mandibular shift movement can be regarded as a symptom in the diagnosis and treatment of TMD.

In order to maintain major functions and continuity during crisis, companies are establishing a Business Continuity Management System in accordance with a standard for disaster management under the Act on assistance to the autonomous activities of enterprises for disaster mitigation. This process is based on the presentation of the level of introduction of business continuity activities through the survey of the company’s preparation (maturity) for business continuity activities; however, the maturity survey in practice does not consider the importance of the survey items, indicating a problem in that the discriminating ability of maturity and the differentiation by field of business continuity activities cannot be considered. Therefore, this study reviewed the reliability of the survey results through case analysis of the maturity survey of the business continuity activity and analyzed the differences in the results by applying weight to each survey item. As a result, it was found that 34 questions in a total of 8 areas of the maturity survey lacked reliability in the classification between areas due to the burden of discrimination between items and the likelihood of similar responses of the survey subjects was high.

제방의 안정성을 평가하기 위하여 결정론적인 해석과 신뢰성 해석을 수행하였다. 해석 대상인 제방은 경상북도 고령지역에 존재하는 제방으로 해석을 위해 필요한 제방 형상과 지반 물성치는 상세 지반조사 결과에 근거하여 결정하였다. 제방의 활동 모멘트와 저항 모멘트는 Bishop simplified method를 이용하여 평가하였다. 제방의 신뢰성 분석을 위하여, 균질하다고 가정할 수 있는 영역 내에서의 지반 정수의 공간적인 변동성을 재현하기 위하여 Gaussian random field 이론을 적용하였다. 제방주변에 수위가 낮을 경우에는 결정론적인 방법으로 계산한 제방 안전율은 설계기준에 제시된 최소 안전율보다 크게 평가되었고, 신뢰성 분석을 통하여 평가된 잠재된 제방 파괴확률은 목표 기준보다 낮아 안전한 것으로 평가되었다. 하지만 수위가 올라가면 제방 안전율은 떨어지고 제방의 파괴확률도 급격히 증가하는 것을 확인하였다.

The evaluation of embankment stability was performed based on the results from a conventional deterministic analysis and a reliability analysis. The embankment used in the analyses was selected from real sites located at Goryeong area in South Korea. The Bishop simplified method was implemented to calculate driving and resistance moments of the embankment. In the reliability-based design, Gaussian random field theory was used to account for spatial variabilities of soil properties. The results show that the calculated factors of safety (FS) from the conventional deterministic analyses exceeded the minimum FS proposed in design codes. Also, the random field-based reliability analyses revealed that the probability of embankment failure assuming no water table was much lower than the lower bound of the proposed target probability of failure. However, under increasing levels of water table, FS drops and the probability of failure increases significantly.
