Steel companies are applying Ni-B or Ni-Co alloy plating to protect the surface of Continuous casting mold, and they are using saccharin polish which causes crack on plating layer due to sulfur in saccharin. It is considered that the Ni-S compound causes the cracking and additional tensile stresses. The Ni-Mn-B ternary alloy plating was developed for suppression of crack by forming Mn-S compound before Ni-S compound is formed, but there were no domestic or international standard on the Ni-Mn-B alloy plating. Therefore, reliability evaluation standard was established to evaluate the newly developed Ni-Mn-B plating. To develop accelerating life testing method, FMEA(Failure Mode & Effective analysis) was used to analyze the cause of the main failure in plating. The Ni-Mn-B reliability standard included accelerating life test method, and it was categorized by the fundamental performance test, environment test, and accelerated life test, and was designed to guarantee 1 000 hours of B10 life with 80 % reliable level.

In general, accelerated life testing is performed to reduce testing time. But it is difficult to apply accelerated life testing to a system besides components. This paper developed a software which estimates reliability measures of the system from results of accelerated life testing of components building the system. This software can handle the system with a large number of components and complex topology. Multiple failure modes of a component were also considered in this software. Based on the software, reliability measures of a gearbox example at several conditions were estimated from the accelerated life testing results of three components of the gearbox.

In accelerated life tests, the failure time of an item is observed under a high stress level, and based on the time the performances of items are investigated at the normal stress level. In this paper, when the mean of the prior of a failure rate is known in the exponential lifetime distribution with censored accelerated failure time data, we utilize the empirical Bayesian method by using the moment estimators in order to estimate the parameters of the prior distribution and obtain the empirical Bayesian predictive density and predictive intervals for a future observation under the normal stress level.

This paper proposes the development of a method for assessing the system reliability of an unmanned control robot system for an excavator. It then shows the results of the reliability qualification test based on the proposed method. The robot system functions to ensure the safety of the workers who control excavators in dangerous working environments, and the system reliability was calculated by integrating the reliabilities of the system components. Thus, test equipment for the three key units of the robot system were constructed and used in accelerated life testing. From the life testing results, guaranteed mean time between failures for the chosen confidence level was estimated, and the reliability qualification testing method of the robot system using small sample sizes was proposed.

In this paper, the long-term reliability for 1.25G transceiver in use of high speed optical access network is investigated. High temperature storage tests and accelerated life tests are used to long-term reliability. Accelerated aging test have been during 3,000 hour of the three accelerated aging conditions by caused high temperature stress. Mean life is assumed to follow the Arrhenius relationship and analysis from the failure data obtained in the accelerated aging conditions.

The propellant KM10, a single propellant manufactured from nitrocellulose, was known to cause natural degradation phenomena at long term storage. In this study, the self-life was estimated using high temperature acceleration aging tests and stockpile analysis test. For the life expectancy estimation, Arrhenius equation and Berthelot equation were used in the high temperature acceleration tests, and the first order regression was used in the Stockpile analysis test. The self-life of propellant KM10 using the Arrhenius equation and Berthelot equation showed significantly different results as 43.73, 16.53 years in the high temperature acceleration test, and it showed 42.94 years in the Stockpile analysis test. The value of self-life predicted by Arrhenius equation was reasonable when compared with the result of E. R. Bixon.

The study about Accelerated Life Test and analysis of failed data is increased in order to predict and evaluate reliability of products, according as the development cycle of products is reduced. Therefore, the decision of optimal distribution function about failed data for accurate analysis of failed data and test condition for Accelerated Life Test is very important. This paper compares Anderson-Darling method with Likelihood Function method for the decision of optimal distribution function about failed data. Anderson-Darling considers only failed data and Likelihood Function considers both failed data and life-stress relationship in decision of distribution function. In the results of comparison about two methods, we found that the distribution function chosen by each method is different and the life time predicted by each decided distribution function is different.

진공청소기 제품의 시장불량을 조사한 결과 모터의 불량이 전체 불량 중 많은 부분을 차지하고 있으며 조금씩 증가추세를 보이고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 그러므로, 본 연구에서는 진공청소기 모터의 출하 전, 불량품 검출력을 향상시킬 수 있는 가속시험법을 개발하고자 하였다. 또한, 가속시험을 통해 사업부의 신뢰성시험 납기 단축 및 시험비용 절감 뿐아니라 모터에 대한 가속시험 기술력 확보를 목적으로 수행하였다. 가속수명시험 시 스트레스인자는 모터의 브러쉬 마모 가속을 위해 정격보다 높은 전압을 인가하였다. 가속모형으로는 전압스트레스를 인가하는 경우 일반적으로 사용되는 역자승(Inverse Power) 모형을 사용하였다. 가속시험 결과 정격의 120% 전압에서 가속계수 4.3이 얻어졌다. 이는 수출 모델의 경우 현재의 시험시간 42일을 10 일로 단축하여 76%의 시험시간이 절감되어 시험 가능 횟수가 4배로 증가되는 결과를 얻었다. 추가적으로 다양한 On/Off 시간 변환 시험을 실시하였으나 현시험법과의 고장 모드 (브러쉬 마모로 인한 회전정지) 및 고장유형이 일치하지 않음을 알 수 있었다. 이 결과는 On/Off 시간변환을 통한 가혹시험의 경우 주의를 필요로 함을 나타낸다.

This paper on planning constant accelerated life test is assumed that parameters for a lognormal life distribution are depended on changes of stresses. The proposed test plans are optimum in that they minimize the asymptotic variance of maximum likelihood estimator of a specified quantile at the design stress. The optimal amount of low stress level ${\xi}_{L}$ and optimal sample proportion ${\pi}$ to be allocated at low stress level are obtained when the ratio of scales at high stress level and design stress level is unknown.
