This paper contains analyses and development processes of the requirements to detect the possible intermittent failure in an old avionics backplane. Interconnections for signal transmission between electronic components, such as Pin-to-PCB, FPCB-to-FPCB, pin-to-FPCB, and pint-to-wire, were selected as the main cause of intermittent failure by analyzing target equipment and documents. The possibility of detecting intermittent failures occurring in the target equipment is verified by physics-of-failure analyses. In order to verify the occurrence of intermittent failures and their detectability, latching continuity circuit testers were manufactured and accelerated life tests were performed by applying temperature and vibration cycle in consideration of flight conditions. Through the above process, the detection requirements for the major intermittent failure in the target avionics backplane was developed.

A flare from an Air Force fighter was abnormally dispensed during the landing. To determine the cause of the abnormal dispensing, fracture analysis, signal analysis and reproduction experiments based on physics of failures were performed. The primary cause of the failure was analyzed to be due to an intermittent fault of an internal circuit card in the AN/ALE-40 chaff/flare dispenser by a broken lid of a capacitor, and the root cause which had derived the primary cause was considered to be an improper handling during the domestic maintenance which were changed from the overseas maintenance due to the DMSMS problem. Therefore, the overall process of the maintenance capability development system was reviewed and alternative ways that considers maintenance error decision aid(MEDA) for system improvement were suggested to prevent further failures.

운전자의 인지 능력을 충분히 고려하지 않은 도로 교통 표지판은 운전 상황에서 순간적인 의사 결정을 어력베 하여 교통사고의 가능성을 증가 시킬 수 있으므로 이에 대한 개선책이 시급하다 하겠다. 그러므로 본 연구에서는 수도권 도로 교통 표지판의 인지적 문제를 설문 조사와 현장 조사를 통하여 구체적으로 분 석하고 이에따른 개선안을 제시하였다. 이를 위해, 서울 시내의 사고 다발 지역을 중심으로 교차로 표지 판의 인지공학적 결함을 면밀히 분석하였고, 1997년 표지판 개정안의 설계 원칙에 대한 인지적 문제점을 도출하였다. 그 중, 교차로의 방향 표지, 방향 유도 표지에 나타난 정보 처리 과정의 문제점 및 노면 표지 의 설계가 운전자의 인지적 혼돈을 유발시킬 수 있다는 가정하에 이에 대한 모의 실험을 실시 하였다. 24명 의 피설험자를 대상으로, 개선된 표지판과 현 표지판을 모의 운전 상황에 따라 간헐적으로 컴퓨터 화면을 통해 관측하게 한 후 인지된 내용의 정확도와 반응 시간을 비교하여 분석하였다. 그 결과에 따라 기존 노면 표지의 형태를 개선하고, 방향 예고 표지판과 방향 표지판의 인지적 구별을 명확하게 하는 것이 운전자에게는 정확하고 신속한 의사 결정을 하게 한다는 것을 발견 하고 이에 대한 원칙을 제시하였다. 결론적으로 표지판의 설계와 설치에 있어 행정적인 지원과 인지적인 요인에 대한 고려가 된다면 표지판의 오독으로 인한 교통 사고를 줄여 나가는데 기여할 것으로 기대된다.

This paper investigates the failure of a car with a 2.5-liter CRDi engine of the Hyundai Company. The failure is caused by intermittent poor acceleration while driving. To analyze the cause, we investigated the air intake volume, the fuel injection, and the air-fuel ratio, which were determined to be normal. The brake switch signal error was discovered while analyzing the function that limits the output of the engine. While investigating the cause, we discovered the corrosion of the pins on the connector of the brake switch. We determined that it was generated by soapy water flowing in the solar film. Therefore, the cause of the failure was the brake switch signal errors. Additionally, we determined that ECM was the normal fail-safe mode that implemented the override device for safety during normal acceleration. Based on these results, further solar film experiments must be conducted to fully elucidate the causes.

Aircraft battery is the core equipment of an aircraft that supplies engine starting power and emergency power, and it must be charged to ensure sufficient capacity at all times and maintain high reliability to ensure stable power supply. The battery of the T-50 series aircraft is designed to enable the engine to start up to two times in temperatures as low as -18℃ and above. However, intermittent failures in engine starting have been observed during winter. In this paper, we analyze the failure phenomena occurring during low-temperature charging of the battery and improve the charging algorithm based on the analysis and test. Additionally, the results of start simulation tests show that the battery charging defects at low temperatures are resolved, and an improvement in the charging performance is confirmed; thus, validating the effectiveness of the new algorithm.
