Simulation method for reliability of TT&C mission with high redundancy and small time horizon

The tracking, telemetry and command （TT＆C） mission is extremely reliable for its characters of small time horizon and high redundancy. The combined forcing and failure biasing （CFFB） method that is usually used for simulating the unreliability of the highly dependable mission system seems not so efficient for the TT＆C mission. The concept about the importance of failure transition is proposed based on the logical relationship between TT＆C mission and its involved resources. Then, the importance is used for readjusting the transition rate of the failure transition when using the forcing and failure biasing during the simulation. Examples show that the improved CFFB method can evidently increase the occurrence of the TT＆C mission failure event and decrease the sample variance. More redundancy of the TT＆C mission leads to the improved CFFB method more efficient.

Reliability and validity of the hidden hunger assessment scale in China-revised for high school students

Objective:Hidden hunger remains a severe public health problem that affects millions of people worldwide.In China,challenges related to dietary imbalance and hidden hunger persist.Micronutrient inadequacy deserves more attention among adolescents,given its vital role in their growth and development;however,this problem appears to have been largely ignored.High school students,in particular,are often at a high risk of hidden hunger but have limited assessment tools available.Therefore,this study aims to revise the hidden hunger assessment scale for high school students(HHAS-HSS)in China and assess its reliability and validity.Methods:Based on a literature review,expert consultation,pre-experiment,and formal survey,a hidden hunger assessment scale was revised for high school students.The formal survey involved 9336 high school students in 11 of the 16 cities in Anhui Province,China,and 9038 valid questionnaires were collected and included in the analysis.The item analysis,internal consistency reliability,test-retest reliability,content validity,exploratory factor analysis,and confirmatory factor analysis of the HHAS-HSS were examined.Results:The HHAS-HSS included a total of 4 dimensions and 12 items:"vegetables and food diversity"(three items),"fruits and dairy products"(three items),"micronutrient-dense foods"(four items),and"health condition and eating habits"(two items).The results showed a Cronbach's alpha of 0.758,a split-half reliability of 0.829,and a test-retest reliability of o.793,indicating good internal consistency.Using the Bartlett's test and Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin test(KMO)to test the exploratory factor analysis presented a four-factor model of the HHAS-HSS,the KMO0 value was 0.820(P<0.001),which indicated the possibility for factor confirmatory factor analysis.Using the maximum variance rotation method,four factors were obtained,and the cumulative variance explained rate was 57.974%.Confirmatory factor analysis also supported the division of the scale into four dimensions,and the fitting indices were x^(2)=1417.656,x^(2)/df=29.534,goodness-of-fit index=0.974,adjusted goodnessof-fit index=0.958,parsimonious goodness-of-fit index=0.600,normed fit index=0.938,incremental fit index=0.940,Tucker-Lewis index=0.917,comparative fit index=0.939,and root mean square error of approximation=0.056.Except for x^(2)/df,all the indices reached the fitting standard,and the above results showed that the construct validity of the scale reached an acceptable level.Conclusions:The HHAS-HSS has good validity and reliability for Chinese high school students.It is a convenient self-report measure of hidden hunger risk.

HYBRID REDUNDANCY APPROACH TO INCREASE THE RELIABILITY OF FPGA BASED SPEED CONTROLLER CORE FOR HIGH SPEED TRAIN

With the progress of the railway technology, the railway transportation is becoming more efficient, intelligent and faster. High speed trains, as a major part of the railway transportation, are engaged with passenger's safety, and therefore the reliability issue is very important in such vital systems. In this paper, a dependable speed controller core based on FPGA has been developed for high speed trains. To improve the reliability and mitigate single upset faults on basic speed controller, this paper proposes a new effective method which is based on hardware redundancy. In the proposed Hybrid Dual Duplex Redundancy(HDDR) method, the original controller is quadruplicated and correct values are voted through the comparator and error detection unit. We have analyzed the proposed system with Reliability, Availability, Mean time to failure and Security(RAMS) theory in order to evaluate the effectiveness of proposed scheme. Theoretical analysis shows that the Mean Time To Failure(MTTF) of the proposed system is 2.5 times better than the traditional Triple Modular Redundancy(TMR). Furthermore, the fault injection experimental results reveal that the capability of tolerating Single Event Upsets(SEUs) in the proposed method increases up to 7.5 times with respect to a regular speed controller.

Fatigue reliability quantitative analysis of cement concrete for highway pavement under high stress ratio

In order to obtain the change law of the fatigue reliability of cement concrete for highway pavement under high stress ratios, first, the probability densities of monotonic random variables including concrete fatigue life are deduced. And then, the fatigue damage probability densities of the Miner and Chaboche-Zhao models are deduced. By virtue of laboratory fatigue test results, the fatigue damage probability density functions of the two models can be obtained, considering different stress ratios. Finally, substituting load cycles into them, the change law of cement concrete fatigue reliability about load cycles can be acquired. The results show that under the same stress ratio, with the increase in the load cycle, the fatigue reliability declines from almost 100% to 0% gradually. No matter under what stress ratio, during the initial stage of the load action, there is always a relatively stable phase for fatigue reliability. With the increase in the stress ratio, the stable phase gradually shortens and the load cycle corresponding to the reliability of 0% also decreases. In the descent phase of reliability, the higher the stress ratio is, the lower the concrete reliability is for the same load cycle. Besides, compared with the Chaboche-Zhao fatigue damage model, the Miner fatigue damage model is safer.

Novel bandgap-based under-voltage-lockout methods with high reliability

Highly reliable bandgap-based under-voltage-lockout （UVLO） methods are presented in this paper. The proposed under-voltage state to signal conversion methods take full advantages of the high temperature stability characteristics and the enhancement low-voltage protection methods which protect the core circuit from error operation; moreover, a common-source stage amplifier method is introduced to expand the output voltage range. All of these methods are verified in a UVLO circuit fabricated with a 0.5 μm standard BCD process technology. The experimental result shows that the proposed bandgap method exhibits a good temperature coefficient of 20 ppm/℃, which ensures that the UVLO keeps a stable output until the under-voltage state changes. Moreover, at room temperature, the high threshold voltage VTH＋ generated by the UVLO is 12.3 V with maximum drift voltage of ±80 mV, and the low threshold voltage VTH- is 9.5 V with maximum drift voltage of±70 mV. Also, the low voltage protection method used in the circuit brings a high reliability when the supply voltage is very low.

Optimization of Reliability–Redundancy Allocation Problems: A Review of the Evolutionary Algorithms

The study of optimization methods for reliability–redundancy allocation problems is a constantly changing field.New algorithms are continually being designed on the basis of observations of nature,wildlife,and humanity.In this paper,we review eight major evolutionary algorithms that emulate the behavior of civilization,ants,bees,fishes,and birds(i.e.,genetic algorithms,bee colony optimization,simulated annealing,particle swarm optimization,biogeography-based optimization,artificial immune system optimization,cuckoo algorithm and imperialist competitive algorithm).We evaluate the mathematical formulations and pseudo-codes of each algorithm and discuss how these apply to reliability–redundancy allocation problems.Results from a literature survey show the best results found for series,series–parallel,bridge,and applied case problems(e.g.,overspeeding gas turbine benchmark).Review of literature from recent years indicates an extensive improvement in the algorithm reliability performance.However,this improvement has been difficult to achieve for high-reliability applications.Insights and future challenges in reliability–redundancy allocation problems optimization are also discussed in this paper.

The Reliability of the Prowler in High School Male Football Players

Horizontal plane muscular power output is important in sports such as football especially for down lineman who must engage an opponent and push them for a number of yards. The Prowler resistance sled is a commonly used apparatus that aids in the development of horizontal plane muscular power output. However, there is limited documentation regarding the Prowler＇s role as a strength and conditioning training modality as well as its potential use as an assessment tool for measuring horizontal plane muscular power output. Hence, the purpose of this study was to assess the reliability of the Prowler sled push in High School male football players. High School male football players （n = 16） performed two trials of the Prowler sled push 91 kilograms （200 pounds） for a distance of 9.1 meters （10 yards）. Each trial was timed with a handheld stop watch with a 2-3 minute rest period between trials. The trial 1 and 2 scores were 5.14 ±0.95 and 5.15 ±0.88 seconds respectively. The interclass and intraclass reliability coefficients were r = 0.93 and ICC = 0.93. The standard error of the measure was SEre = 0.25 seconds with 90% confidence limits Of UL： 0.36, LL： 0.20. The mean difference between trials was 0.01 ±0.36 seconds （90% confidence limits Of UL： 0.17, LL： -0.14）. Within the parameters of this study, the Prowler sled push is a highly reliable field test for measuring horizontal plane muscular power output.

HIGH CYCLE FATIGUE RELIABILITY ANALYSIS ON ROTOR HUB BASED ON APPROXIMATION TECHNIQUE

A high cycle fatigue reliability analysis approach to helicopter rotor hub is proposed under working load spectrum. Automatic calculation for the approach is implemented through writing the calculating programs. In the system, the modification of geometric model of rotor hub is controlled by several parameters, and finite element method and S-N curve method are then employed to solve the fatigue life by automatically assigned parameters. A database between assigned parameters and fatigue life is obtained via Latin Hypercube Sampling （LHS） on toler- ance zone of rotor hub. Different data-fitting technologies are used and compared to determine a highest-precision approximation for this database. The parameters are assumed to he independent of each other and follow normal distributions. Fatigue reliability is then computed by the Monte Carlo （MC） method and the mean-value first order second moment （MFOSM） method. Results show that the approach has high efficiency and precision, and is suit- able for engineering application.

The Reliability of the Anaerobic Power Dummy Throw Test in High School Wrestlers:A Pilot Study

AP(anaerobic power)output is an important physical characteristic that is required to succeed in sports such as wrestling.The Wingate test is considered the Gold Standard for assessing AP but is not specific to the sport of wrestling.The purpose of this study was to examine the reliability of a novel field test known as the LWAPT(Lopez wrestling anaerobic power test)for the assessment of AP.The participants were male high school wrestlers(n=10,age:17.0±0.8 yrs,mass:70.9±10.2 kgs).The participants met on one occasion in order to complete the testing protocol.The protocol initiated with the participants completing a 10-15 minute dynamic WU(warm-up)that included three practice dummy throw attempts(dummy mass=31.75 kgs).Following the dynamic WU(≈5 minutes),the participants performed two trials of the LWAPT.In order to perform the LWAPT,wrestlers stood behind the wrestling dummy in a squat position with legs bent at 45-90 degrees.Next the wrestlers wrapped their arms around the waist of the dummy and on the signal“go”the wrestlers quickly exploded up,lifting the dummy by getting triple extension with the ankles,knees and hips as one would in a power clean.After the wrestler was fully extended,he turned in midair in order to drive the dummy onto its stomach on the ground,where the wrestler was on top of the back of the dummy(a common position after an opponent has been thrown).The participant then repositioned the dummy to the original position to execute another throw.The participants completed as many dummy throws as possible during the one minute trials.The LWAPT trials were separated by 15 minutes.The trial scores were 15.6±2.5 and 17.2±1.5 throws respectively.The interclass and intraclass reliability coefficients were r=0.84 and ICC=0.80.The standard error of the measure was SEm=1.0 throws with 90%confidence limits of UL:1.7,LL:0.7.The mean difference between trials was 1.6±1.4 throws(90%confidence limits of UL:2.4,LL:0.8).Bland-Altman plots suggested agreement between trials with no evidence of heteroscedasticity.The LWAPT exhibits moderate to high reliability as an assessment of AP.The inclusion of additional dummy throw trials to the assessment protocol may enhance the degree of reliability of the dummy throw test as a measure of AP.

Modeling the Failure Rate of a Standby Multi-Component System and Improving Reliability

Evaluating the reliability of a system requires knowledge of the failure modes to which it is subjected. Complex topology systems generally require a high level of availability, which is a function of the arrangement of elements (components) in the system. To avoid serious failures for such complex systems, recourse can be had to the redundancy techniques available in the literature. These techniques help to improve system reliability, without affecting the reliability of system components. This paper is interested in the proposal of a model for evaluating the failure rate of a standby multi-components system and in improving the reliability of mechanical systems, arranged in a topology (series, parallel, or mixed).
