Accelerated degradation test (ADT) can be a useful tool for assessing the reliability when few or even no failure are expected in an accelerated life test. In this paper, MLCC (Multilayer Ceramic Capacitors), a sort of passive components which have large capacitance(X7R -55$^{\circ}C$~1$25^{\circ}C$) have been tested, and least-square analyses are used to illustrate our approach in which amount of degradation of a DUT following log-normal distribution. We assumed a simple and useful linear model to describe the amount of degradation over time subjected to different voltage levels applied. Tests for linearity of the performance-time relationship, and provide tests for how well the assumptions hold. Also, by using Eyring Model, MLCC's mean life time is assessed.

In the case of helicopters, the development of parts technology is rapidly changing, and the complexity is rapidly increasing. Particularly, the surge of various electric and electronic systems is recognized as a problem that is directly related to the safety of the helicopter. Due to these problems, there is a growing interest in reliability evaluation in the face of the problem of confirming and certifying the reliability of parts in the development stage. In this paper, the analysis of the failure mechanism of the wiper system was carried out, and the priority and importance of each failure mode were checked by using the results, and major stress factors were derived and the corresponding acceleration model was selected. Also, the accelerated lifetime test time was calculated according to the life test time, acceleration status and acceleration level of the steady state by using the selected acceleration model and characteristic values.

We have analyzed the temperature and humidity aging test results of a composite solid propellant. The temperature aging test was performed to evaluate the storage life of a propellant, while the humidity aging test could provide the hygroscopicity of Ammonium Perchlorate(AP) exposed to .elative humidity (RH) 10, 30, $50\%$ environment. A specimen was used in the temperature test, and a block of propellant from the actual motor was used in the humidity test. We report that the 4-month storing at 60 degree is equivalent to the 10-year 60 degree condition. The composite solid propellant with HTPB binder showed signs of hardening with time lapse but the effect of humidity up to RH $50\%$ was not noticeable.

Hydraulic hoses are used as pipelines for transferring power from hydraulic systems in various machineries such as construction equipments, automobiles, and aircraft. Hydraulic hoses protect the system from vibration or impacts, and they are being used to transfer energy in all segments of the industry. In order to protect the system from various external environmental conditions, hydraulic hose assemblies must be able to withstand a wide range of temperatures and pressures, as well as variations in other factors. In previous studies, an acceleration model for the hydraulic hose assembly was developed by taking into account only one of the acceleration factors (temperature or pressure). Therefore, the objective of this study is to develop a comprehensive acceleration model that takes both temperature and pressure into consideration.

In order to process more complicated and higher-precision parts, generally, an additional axis for a machine tool is needed which was an approach to minimize the cost of tool modification. A table with a rotary reducer that can rotate through the axis of the gear system was employed to a machine tool to achieve the purpose of adding an extra motion axis. In general, the motion of the rotary reducer is driven by a worm/wheel or helical gear system, which is different from the hypoid helical gear structure that used in this research. Reliability of guarantee of high accurancy throughout the whole life cycle is on of the critical factors to evaluate a rotary reducer in this field. In this paper, in order to evaluate life-time of rotary reducer, a low-cost accelerated life test was developed to satisfy the demands of clients.

Constant variance of degradation data over time has been generally assumed to estimate storage lifetime using destructive, accelerated degradation data over time. However, performance data of ammunitions deteriorate over time, and the standard deviation would tend to increase over time. This paper shows storage lifetime comparison results for constant variance and time-variant variance assumptions of degradation data over time, and proposes that time-variant variance assumption should be considered to increase accuracy in lifetime estimation.

이차전지의 수명 평가는 크게 Cycle life test 와 Calendar life test로 나뉘어져서 평가 되고 있다. Cycle life test로 수명 검증을 위해서는 일반적으로 3000 사이클 이상 테스트를 진행 하여야 하지만 이 방법은 시간이 장기화 되어 신뢰성 검증 및 새로운 부품 적용에 한계가 따른다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 고온 챔버 및 사이클 시험기를 사용하여 빠른 시간 내에 평가를 할 수 있는 가속시험법을 적용하여 수명을 평가 한 연구결과를 발표하고자 한다.

The gear in various mechanical components easily occurs at damages by the external torque. The main failure modes of the gear are surface pitting with the tooth surface and breakage with tooth root by caused fatigue. Therefore, the gear is very important role in the reliability research since it may cause fatal damage of entire system such as the gear box in automobile transmission. In this study, the failure mode of the gear was analyzed and accelerated durability analysis was employed for the life estimation of spur gears. In the case of assumed load spectrums, the reliability of spur gears was evaluated by inverse power law-Weibull accelerated life test model with cumulative damage exposure.

캐패시터, 인덕터 등의 전자부품들은 적층기술 및 표면 실장 기술 등을 이용하여 적층형 칩형태로 제작되고 있다. 적층형 칩형태의 전자부품들은 전자기적 특성을 부여하는 세라믹스와 전극역할을 하는 금속으로 구성되어 있으며, 전극 부분은 크게 내부전극과 외부전극으로 구분된다. 고장이 발생하게 되면 고장의 형태를 의미하는 고장모드(failure mode)와 제품을 고장에 이르게하는 물리, 화학적, 기계적 과정을 의미하는 고장기구(failure mechanism)을 조사하게 된다. 전자부품에서 고장이 발생하였을 경우, 1차적인 분석대상은 전극재인데 전극재에 기인한 고장으로는 세라믹스와 전극재 사이의 열팽창계수 차이에 기인한 박리현상(Delamination), 인쇄불량에 의한 단락 및 두께 불량, 세라믹스와 전극재 사이의 반응, 산화에 의한 부식 등이 있다. 이러한 고장은 급격한 주위 환경의 변화에 의한 것보다는 일정수준의 스트레스가 축적되어 발생하며, 수명을 예측하기 위해서는 고장의 원인을 규명하고 그 원인에 의한 가속 시험을 수행하는 것이 일반적인 방법이다. 본 연구에서는 Ag 외부 전극재의 수명을 예측하고자 가속시험을 수행하였고, 고장 분석 통하여 Ag외부 전극재의 특성 및 문제점 등을 정확히 파악하기 위한 연구를 하였다.

In this paper, the concept of accelerated life test, which is a popular research field nowadays, is applied to the shot peened material. To predict the efficient and exact room temperature fatigue characteristics from the high temperature fatigue data, the adequate accelerated model is investigated. Ono type rotary bending fatigue tester and high temperature chamber were used for the experiment. Room temperature fatigue lives were predicted by applying accelerated models and doing reliability evaluation. Room temperature fatigue tests were accomplished to check the effectiveness of predicted data and the adequate accelerated life test models were presented by considering errors. Experimental result using Arrhenius model, fatigue limit obtain almost 5.45% of error, inverse power law has about 1.36% of error, so we found that inverse power law is applied well to temperature-life relative of shot peened material.
