Reliability tests should be designed to verify whether reliability requirements are satisfied or not effectively and efficiently. The portion of reliability requirements that a reliability test scheme composed of different types of tests can cover is defined as test coverage in software engineering. For the cases of hardwares, to be effective, a reliability test scheme should enhance the test coverage. This study is to develop an evaluation method of test coverage for a reliability test scheme proposed for new products. Case studies are also given.

Recently, as the remodeling market gradually substitute for new construction market and safety diagnosis for reconstruction apartment become a matter of principal Interest, it is demanded that scientific diagnosis and evaluation for existing concrete structure state. And it is increasing that the significance for reliability of data which is used for estimating the concrete compressive strength by nondestructive test. As a result, it is found that different proposal to material age and hitting angle is good to improving the reliability of presumption of concrete compressive strength in the linear hitting rebound test hammer. And for the reason that mutual relation between the compressive strength and rebound degree is highest in linear hitting rebound test hammer 25mm in all portion according to early md middle material age and hitting angle except the early material age $-45^{\circ}$, analysis showed that linear hitting rebound test hammer is more reliable than existing schmidt hammer in presumption of concrete compressive strength.

In this paper, a test apparatus for reliability evaluation of a rotary compressor has been suggested with a short-cycle concept. $CO_2$ refrigerant is adopted for this cycle to avoid phase change during cycle operation. Evaporator is not necessary in short-cycle. Utilizing a short-cycle, the test apparatus was built on the purpose of evaluating the reliability of each rotary compressor on the conveyer belt of the factory. The primary validation of the test apparatus is discussed by analyzing the experimental heat balance data. Additional validation was performed through the overload continuous operation test where the wear rate of the $CO_2$ short-cycle was found to similar to that of the R22 normal-cycle. The reliability evaluation test apparatus with a short-cycle in present investigation was found simple and efficient in the view of reducing sample numbers, costs, and test time in analyzing the reliability of rotary compressors.

This study examines the reliability evaluation concept and procedure of bulletproof materials (BRP: Bulletproof Reliability Program). ASRP, RAM analysis tasks were utilized for the study. Based on this analysis, the concept, method, performance system, and procedure of BRP were examined. The BRP task execution procedure consists of the following four steps. First, the business (evaluation) planning stage establishes the evaluation plan every year. Second, there is a testing stage that performs the general inspection, functional test, and operational test according to the established plan. Thirdly, there is an evaluation/analysis phase to synthesize/analyze the results and to judge the appropriate grade considering the performance of bulletproof materials. Finally, the follow-up step of each group according to the result. The following criteria are suggested for BRP implementation: BRP testing capability, development of BRP evaluation method, and recognition of the importance of BRP business.

본 논문은 BCPS(Balanced canister purge solenoid valve) 의 Lab. 내구 시험 Spec. 결정 방법에 관한 것이다. BCPS 는 기존에 사용 중인 CPS(Canister purge solenoid valve) 의 응답성과 제어의 용이성을 좋게 하여 배기 가스 특성을 향상시키기 위해 CPS 내부에 Rubber 재질의 막(Diaphragm) 을 적용한 것이다. 하지만 이 Diaphragm 이 마모 등에 의해서 찢어지면, 오히려 배기 특성이 저하된다. 따라서 BCPS의 적용을 위해서는 이 Diaphragm 의 내구성이 검증되어야 하며, 이를 위해서는 새로운 신뢰성 시험 Spec. 의 개발이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 BCPS Diaphragm의 검증을 위해 필요한 신뢰성 시험 Spec. 을 결정하였다. 이를 위해, X-ray Inspection System등을 이용하여 부압에 따른 Diaphragm 의 형상 변화 등을 관찰하였으며, 실제 차량에서 Diaphragm 에 걸리는 압력의 분포를 측정하였다.

This paper presents a method to predict the storage reliability of springs for turbo engine components based on an accelerated degradation test. The reliability assessment procedure for springs is established to proceed with the accelerated degradation test. The spring constant is selected as the performance degradation characteristic, the temperature is determined to be the stress factor that deteriorates the spring constant. The storage tests are performed at three temperature test conditions. The spring constant is measured periodically to check the degradation status of the springs. Failure times of the springs are predicted by using the degradation model. Finally, the storage lifetime of the springs at normal use conditions is predicted using an accelerated model and failure times of all test conditions.

Air spring system was widely accepted for railway vehicle secondary suspension to reduce and absorb the vibration and noise. The low natural frequency ensures a comfortable ride and an invariably good stiffness. In this paper, the characteristics and durability test was conducted in laboratory by using servo-hydraulic fatigue testing system to reliability evaluation of air spring for electric railway vehicle. The experimental results show that the characteristics and durability of domestically developed productions are shown in good results. And to guarantee the adaption of air spring, the ride comfort and air pressure variation were measured in train test on subway line.

The long-term research and development for the production of domestic blades has been consistently performed. As the direct and indirect results of its nationwide technologies in precision casting have been improved as well as maintenance costs for turbine machinery has been reduced. Whereas, there are still not a few concerns about the reliability of newly manufactured blades in spite of the quality certificate in metallurgical and mechanical properties. A spin tester is a machine that gives centrifugal loading to a rotating part, and its practical application is the overspeed test that is usually used to check the quality of products. A new spin rig has been constructed in KEPCO Research Institute for the purpose of evaluating the reliability of blades. In this paper, the test methodology for low cycle fatigue damage mechanism as well as the overspeed test for newly developed blades is described, and their reliability is evaluated too.

The test items like as endurance, air leakage and oil endurance test is requested for reliability evaluation about O-ring which is a kind of core machinery accessories of semi-conduct manufacturing equipment. For verification of these, we design and manufactured a test system for endurance, air leakage and oil endurance of O-ring for semi-conduct manufacturing equipment, and also performed the test for two kinds of O-ring, as it were Viton and Kalretz. The characteristics of this test equipment consist in realization of the test conditions of semi-conduct manufacturing equipment and satisfying the test method. The test conditions are cut gas, vacuum grade, temperature and revolution numbers in the endurance test system, vacuum grade and temperature in the air leakage test system, temperature and time in the oil endurance test system. The separating test results for wearing which is an oil endurance test item, the wearing index of domestic produced Viton O-ring is higher than foreign product by 2%, wearing rate of Kalretz O-ring better than Viton O-ring by 17%, and particles existed in various place. The test result of air leakage which is measured through the RGA sensor used Helium, the vacuum grade was $10^-3$Torr. And the test result of oil endurance, the volume change rate was 7~15%. Hereafter, we intend to analysis the reliability test evaluation and to utilize for domestic manufacturing companies by establishing data base and developing reliability softwares.
