KF-16 항공기용 F100-229 엔진 부품 중 국내에서 생산되는 부품에 대한 초도품 품질보증방법의 일환으로 내구성시험을 국내에서 수행하였다. 그동안 국내에서의 항공기 엔진산업은 사용중인 엔진의 정비 혹은 민항기 엔진 일부 부품을 기계 가공하여 납품하는 수준이었으므로 특별한 품질보증 시험이 요구되지 않았으나, KFP 사업을 시작하면서 일부 주요부품은 국내에서 직접 생산하여 KF-16 항공기용 엔진에 장착하게 되므로 완제 엔진을 조립 생산할 수 있는 능력의 확보뿐만 아니라 적절한 품질보증 대책이 요구되었다. 이에 따라 국내 생산된 완제 엔진의 조립성과 일부 단품에 대한 품질보증 확보방안으로 엔진의 개발 및 부품개량시 설계수명 및 설계규격의 만족여부를 검증하는 시험인 엔진 내구성시험(Engine Accelerated Mission Test)기법을 적용하여 1차와 2차에 걸쳐 품질보증시험을 수행하였다. 시험결과 완제 엔진의 조립성, 추진성능, 부품의 내구도 확인에 의한 품질보증 적합성 여부를 확인할 수 있었으며, 본 시험평가 기법을 통하여 시험 후 부품의 검사 및 평가방법과 기준을 제시하였고, 군용 엔진 내구성시험의 요구조건, 시험절차, 시험항목 등을 확립하였다.

The general requirements to achieve the structural integrity of the airframe are described in the military specification, MIL-STD-1530A. One of these requirements is the durability and damage tolerance of the airframe, which should be shown through the analysis and test based on the related specifications. This paper introduces the full scale durability test to evaluate the structural safety and durability of the basic trainer, KT-1. The test was performed according to the procedure in the military specification. The flight by flight load spectrum was developed by KT-1 fatigue load criteria and used for the durability test. The durability test had been performed for 4 service lives and was completed successfully. Therefore, it was shown that KT-1 airframe satisfied the durability requirements.

Testing and evaluation was carried out to certify quality assurance of localized engine parts using accelerated mission test method, which has been used to verify qualification or substantiation of the developed engine, improved engine components and engineering changed parts since 1976. Because AMT is not a familiarized testing for quality assurance of engine and localized engine parts in korea, through this testing and evaluation, it is presented the concepts, test procedures and evaluation method of AMT and is proposed the possibility of execution AMT, as a tool for qualification or substantiation test of a development engine or components.

This paper describes the test technique for the full-scale airframe durability test according to the military handbook(MIL-HDBK-1530) and ASIP(Aircraft Structure Integrity Program) to evaluate structural integrity and to obtain basic data for IPA(Initial Production Approval) of the Korean advanced trainer(T-50). This paper covers the full-scale airframe floating setup technique, the optimized test load simulation method, test rig design technique, test setup design and installation techniques, test safety device design and operation technique, and durability test results. As 1st life durability test was successfully performed, it was confirmed that this method is available in a full-scale airframe structural test.

Durability testing method trends of the thermal barrier coating(TBC) for the combustion chamber of the liquid-propellant rocket engine have been investigated. Many types of the durability testing method such as the mechanical tests to measure surface cohesion force, the thermal fatigue tests with laser, furnace, burner or plasma, the small scale combustion tests using injectors, and the thermo-mechanical fatigue tests were observed. The TBC with sufficient durability can be selected for the use of combustion chamber through such specimen-level tests and the durability can be verified by the tests using the real scale combustion chambers.

Cemented soils have been used for subbase or base materials of roads, backfill materials of retaining walls and cofferdam. Such cemented soils can be degraded due to repeated wetting and drying or various weathering actions. Unlike rocks, a standard method was not defined for evaluating the durability of cemented soils. In this study, a slaking durability test and an ultrasound cleaner were used for developing a new durability test method for cemented soils. For durability tests, cemented sands with different cement ratios (4, 6, 8, and 12%) with cylindrical specimens were prepared and then air cured or under-water cured for three days. Three-day-cured specimens were dried for one day and then submerged for one day before testing. The weight loss after the slake durability test or ultrasonic cleaner operation for 10 or 20 min was measured and used for assessing durability. When a cement ratio was 4%, the weight loss from ultrasonic cleaner test was 7-25% but that from slake durability test was as much as 30-60%. For specimens with cement ratio of more than 8%, the weight loss was less than 10% from both tests. A durability index increased with increasing a cement ratio. The durability index of under-water cured specimen was higher than that of air cured specimen. The ultrasonic cleaner test was found to be an effective tool for durability assessment of cemented sands rather than the slake durability test.

The operating characteristics of a main oxidizer shut-off valve have been examined by life-cycle tests in which the valve operates as many times as is required at room and cryogenic temperatures. It is shown that there is no significant change of the operating characteristics in the course of the life-cycle tests. The critical pressures and principal forces, which represent the operating characteristics, differ at each operating time by less than about 3%. These qualified operating characteristics of the valve are expected to play an indispensible role in the stable startup and shutdown of a liquid rocket engine.

VTR 제품에 대해 소비자가 만족하는 신뢰성을 보증하기 위해, 내구수명시험을 10,000시간 실시하여 제품의 특성치 변화와 고장률이 만족하는지 검토하였다. 아울러 시간의 경과에 따른 제품의 특성치 변화를 관측하여 고장분포를 추정하였고 실험실에서의 고장유형과 시장에서의 불량유형과 일치여부를 분석하였다. 내구수명시험 결과에서 제품의 특성치 변화와 Field의 시장불량 관계등은 제품에 중요한 요인이기 때문에 이를 바탕으로 신뢰성 방향을 재검토하는 계기가 되었다. 제품의 신뢰성을 향상시키기 위해 시험을 많이 실시하지만, 시험으로 모든 것을 검출하기에는 한계가 있으며 또한 많은 시험 시간이 소요되기 때문에 현업에 적용하기에는 한계가 있었다. 본 연구에서는 제품의 신뢰성을 향상시키기 위해 내구수명시험과 더불어 제품의 설계 마진 분석, 그리고 고장분석을 같이 추진해야만 단시간 신뢰성을 향상시키는데 좋은 지름길임을 제시하였다.
