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.

Fatigue or overload can result in mechanical problems of implant components. The mechanical strength in the implant system is dependent on several factors, such as screw and fixture diameters, material, and design of the fixture-abutment connection and abutment. In these factors, the last rules the strength and stability of the fixture-abutment assembly. There have been some previous reports on the mechanical strength of the fixture-abutment assembly with the compressive bending test or short-term cyclic loading test. However, it is restrictive to predict the long-term stability of the implant system with them. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the influence of the design of the fixture-abutment connection and abutment on the mechanical strength and failure mode by conducting the endurance limit test as well as the compressive bending strength test. Tests were performed according to a specified test(ISO/FDIS 14801) in 4 fixture-abutment assemblies of the Osstem implant system: an external butt joint with Cemented abutment (group BJT), an external butt joint with Safe abutment (group BJS), an internal conical joint with Solid abutment (group CJO), and an internal conical joint with ComOcta abutment (group CJT). The following conclusions were drawn within the limitation of this study. Compressive bending strengths were decreased in order of group BJS(1392.0N), group CJO(1261.8N), group BJT(1153.2N), and group CJT(1110.2N). There were no significant differences in compressive bending strengths between group BJT and group CJT(P>.05). Endurance limits were decreased in order of group CJO(600N), group CJT(453N), group BJS(360N), and group BJT(300N). 3. Compressive bending strengths were influenced by the connection and abutment design of the implant system, however endurance limits were affected more considerably by the connection design.

RC (Reinforced Concrete) structures are considered as cost-benefit and durable however performances of structural safety and durability are degraded due to steel corrosion. Service life in RC structure is differently evaluated due to different local environmental conditions even if it is exposed to the same chloride attack. In the paper, 25 concrete cores from field investigation are obtained from 4 RC columns with duration of 3.5~4.5 years exposed to sea water. Through total chloride content measurement, surface chloride contents and apparent diffusion coefficients are evaluated. Service life of the target structure is estimated through deterministic method based on Fick's $2^{nd}$ Law and probabilistic method based on durability failure probability, respectively. Probability method is evaluated to be more conservative and relatively decreased service life is evaluated in tidal zone and splash zone over 40.0 m. Chloride penetration behavior with coring location from sea level and the present limitations of durability design method are investigated in the paper.

In this research, we embarked on a meticulous analysis of the challenges inherent in real-world scenarios relating to the durability design standards of engineered concrete structures and the assessment of carbonation durability in concrete guidelines. Our investigation brought to light substantial issues concerning constructability and quality assurance. The genesis of these problems is the exclusive application of prescribed strength to exterior walls, neglecting other elements to facilitate smoother licensing procedures. While this methodology aims to mitigate financial constraints in alignment with enhanced standards, it invariably invites complications. Furthermore, it is imperative to resolve the uncertainty surrounding durability evaluations by establishing a clear and definitive objective. Alongside this, actionable steps must be formulated to forestall the emergence of fissures between the floors of residential buildings, particularly apartment complexes. It is equally essential to tackle issues connected to application by devising a comprehensive management strategy for potential cracking during the phase of maintenance.

In Europe, it is necessary to fulfil the type certification criteria by the European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) when developing an aircraft engine. According to type certification criteria, a 150 hours endurance test should be performed to verify the stability of the engine structure under the engine's operating limit conditions. The type certification criteria for the 150 hour endurance test are specified in JAR-E, which is the EASA type certification. Currently, the Arriel 2L2 engine is being developed in cooperation with a foreign manufacturer, and a 150 hours endurance test was performed. In this study, a 150 hours endurance test procedure is conducted in consideration of the operation characteristics of the currently developed engine.

In 2014, The Housing Act amended to allows vertical extension and increases the units of housing (or total floor area) to site. Currently, the feasibility of performing vertical extension is evaluated based on safety diagnosis provisions and manuals with 1st investigation stage on slope, uneven settlement, load-bearing capacity, and durability. However, a need for more reasonable evaluation criteria for the investigation is still required because there had not been any other case study on the diagnosis for the vertical extension, and the engineering basis on evaluation criteria were not suggested. Accordingly, this study is intended to suggest feasible evaluation criteria on the carbonation, chloride ion contents, corrosion of reinforcements, crack and surface deterioration of concrete for durability assessment by codes and standards of domestic and foreign countries. The results of this study are expected to be beneficial for establishing more reasonable durability evaluation criteria, and in turn, more reliable assessment protocol for vertical extension.

Generally, the durability of the parking lock gear is evaluated through an endurance test for the entire transmission but no test standard exists for the durability test of one part of a parking lock gear. Therefore, in this study, the durability test standards of the parking lock gear were determined autonomously, and the durability performance test was conducted. A static fracture test was carried out to determine the yield strength of the parking lock gear, and a durability test condition was set to 60 % of the yield strength. The durability test of 1,000,000 times was conducted under the given conditions using a dedicated test jig manufactured for the test. Because the jig fractured during the static fracture test, finite element analysis for the jig was carried out and the jig was re-designed. The modified jig was manufactured and the durability test was carried out based on the test standard of autonomously. The basic data on the performance and endurance limit of the parking lock gear were obtained using these tests and analyses, and the basic data will be used as fundamental materials for the design and the development of the parking lock gear.
