In general, the performance of a component degrades as time goes by and failure of a component occurs when the performance degradation reaches a pre-specified level. It is difficult to obtain the failure time distribution data or the necessary number of failure data especially for the metal or machine part. Thus, a design of reliability qualification test based on performance distribution is more effective than failure time distribution. In this study, a performance-based reliability qualification test is developed and a numerical example is provided to illustrate the use of the developed reliability qualification test. This approach could be applied to many kinds of metal or machine part whose magnitude of strength could not be evaluated during at any random points but judgement can be made by only failure of the part. Besides, it is also possible that any parts which have a similar failure characteristics could be applicable to the developed reliability qualification test.

HVDC 케이블은 장거리 전력전송, 국가간 계통연계 비동기 전력계통연계, 전력의 시장화에 따른 전력공급 제어 필요에 따라 세계적으로 널리 사용되고 있다. 국내에서는 현재 유일하게 제주-해남간 HVDC 해저케이블이 운영 중에 있으며, 향후 제주도 안정적인 전력공급을 위하여 2011년에 제주-육지간 HVDC 해저케이블이 추가로 건설될 예정이다. 그래서 HVDC 해저 케이블의 안정적이고 신뢰성 있는 운영을 하기 위한 보수자재용 접속재 개발 및 신뢰성 평가가 필요하게 되었다. 본 논문에서는 제주-해남간 운영중인 HVDC 해저케이블 보수자재용으로 개발된 접속재에 대한 신뢰성 평가 방법으로 가장 많이 사용되고 있는 Electra 175, 189의 기계적 및 전기적 평가에 대하여 기술하고자 한다.

When developing a weapon system, a T&E(Test and Evaluation) can be performed using M&S for the test items that cannot be evaluated in the real world. In this case, the VV&A activities are required to prove the credibility of M&S for the T&E. Recently, the use of M&S has been increasing as the R&D trends of weapon systems are becoming more advanced. Therefore, the VV&A activities are also increasing. The VV&A activities aim to verify, validate, and accredit that the simulation can represent a real system and ensure credibility regarding its purpose and intention of use. VV&A activities are divided into V&V and Accreditation. When performing VV&A in the ADD (Agency for Defense Development), the V&V activities are performed by a separate department of the ADD and the accreditation activities are performed in the DTAQ (Defense Agency for Technology and Quality). This paper proposes a V&V process for a T&E of M&S that has been performed in ADD. The process is used to verify and validate the documents and data generated during the development process according to the accreditation criteria, and provides objective data that can be used to judge whether the accreditation decision and acceptance criteria are met.

측정불확도란 시험결과에 대하여 측정량을 합리적으로 추정한 값들의 분산 특성을 나타내는 파라미터(parameter)로써 ILAC(국제시험소인정협력체) 등의 국제기구와의 측정결과에 대한상호인정 및 신뢰성 확보에 필수적인 요소이다. 국제표준(ISO/IEC 17025)에 맞는 시험분석 결과의 도출을 위해서는 먼저 소급성을 유지하고 그에 따른 불확도를 산출하여야 한다. 소급성은 실험의 모든 과정에 불확도를 가지고 끊기지 않는 비교연결을 통한 국제(국가)표준과 연관시키는 시스템으로, sampling에서 측정결과의 도출까지 소급성을 유지하는 것만이 측정결과의 신뢰성(정확 및 정밀)을 유지하는 최상의 시스템이다. Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty in Measurements(GUM)에 의한 불확도 계산 절차는 측정량(measurand)의 함수 표현, 입력량의 표준불확도(standard uncertainty)의 계산(표준편차, 평균의 표준편차), 합성표준불확도(combined uncertainty)의 계산, 확장불확도(expanded uncertainty)의 계산을 통한 통계적 추정을 하는 것이다. 오렌지 쥬스 중 카드뮴을 분석함에 있어서, 실험실에 대해서는 국제표준화(ISO17025) 시스템을 도입하고 분석시약 및 기기에 대하여 소급성을 유지하여, 분석결과의 신뢰성을 확보하기 위한 측정불확도를 산출하였다.

Thus far, a mission software component of the KT-1 military fixed-wing aircraft for overseas export has been developed through international joint development with foreign companies. The reliability of the software component could be certified by complying with the development environment and procedures of foreign companies based on DO-178B. However, recently, DO-178C certification is required for overseas exports, and reliability tests to comply with the weapon system software development guidelines are required for domestic military forces. In this paper, we describe the problems in obtaining domestic airworthiness certification in the international joint development of a previously developed KT-1 export-typed aircraft system integration project. To this end, we find a solution to comply with both DO-178C and the Weapon System Software Development and Management Manual and provide the optimal software reliability test method.

Various definitions and terminology applied to measurement in analytical chemistry are not always consistent. But, internationally integrated terminology and interpretation of definitions play an essential role in analytical chemistry fields. The review in this paper focused on problems associated with terminology, definitions, statistical theories, and practical performance of calibration and validation.

Extracorporeal Shock Wave Therapy (ESWT) is an innovative treatment in chronic musculoskeletal pain management and cardiovascular diseases. In this study, we surveyed the acoustic shock wave outputs from the domestically used focal type ESWT devices. The survey data were collected through 30 technical documents registered to the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS), Rep. Korea. The results show that the focusing geometry varies largely, 5 mm to 65 mm in the focal length, 3 mm to 30 mm in focal width, and 4 mm to 108 mm in focal depth. The maximum positive pressure (P+) ranges from 7 MPa to 280 MPa, the focal Energy Flux Density (EFD) from 0.0035 mJ/㎟ to 35 mJ/㎟, and the energy per pulse (E) from 0.737 mJ to 80.86 mJ. All domestic PE-type (five) and one EM-type domestic devices included in the analysis of the correlation between P+ and EFD are shown to be far beyond the usual ranges and do not comply with expected correlation so that the reliability of their data was suspected. For the suspected, post-performance tests are required by a recognized testing agency. MFDS guidelines need to be revised so that the pass criteria for the shock wave acoustic outputs can be based on the clinical tests for indications.

In this paper, we are implemented the courseware targets to the integrated a digital system analysis, a design theory, and a hardware description language training and a logic analysis. This paper consists of two subjects. One is that the learning of a digital system analysis, that of a design theory, and the training of a hardware description language is simultaneously performed. The other is that the experiment of courseware. To learn the hardware description language, the explanation using sound or moving images, setting-up of a simulation or a synthesis program, and simulating are executed on a courseware. And also, we proposed an integrated systems for the hardware description language and a logic synthesis. Also, The reliablity of the tool was verified to be preyed an efficient operation of an implemented digital system courseware tool by korea computer research association.

H-브릿지 멀티레벨 인버터는 여러 개의 단상 Power Cell을 직렬로 연결함으로써 저전압 전력용 반도체를 사용하여 고전압을 얻을 수 있고, 정현파에 가까운 출력전압 파형을 얻을 수 있는 멀티레벨 인버터 토폴로지이다. 본 토폴로지는 출력전압 레벨에 비례하여 Power Cell의 수가 증가하므로, 주제어기의 연산능력에 대한 부담증가와 신호선의 많아지는 단점이 있다. 따라서 Power Cell제어를 직접적인 PWM 신호가 아닌 통신을 사용함으로써 이러한 단점을 극복할수 있으며, 신뢰성 측면이나 보수/유지 측면에서도 유리하다. 본 논문은 산업현장에서 신뢰성을 인정받아 많이 사용되고 있는 직렬통신 방식의 일종인 CAN통신 인터럽터를 이용한 H-브릿지 멀티레벨 인버터 Power Cell의 PWM 동기화 및 위상 전이 방법에 관한 것이다. 제안된 방법의 주요 장점은 주제어기와 셀 제어기 사이에 직렬통신(CAN)을 사용함으로써 주제어기와 셀 제어기의 신호선의 단순화, 주제어기의 부담 감소, Power Cell의 모듈화, 셀 단위의 보호동작 용이, 확장성 향상 그리고 제어 신호 및 Power Cell의 신뢰성을 향상에 있다. 13레벨로 구성된 H-브릿지 멀티레벨 인버터 시험을 통해 제안된 방법의 타당성과 신뢰성을 입증하였다.

Recently, the defense industry has been improving high technology by developing convergence technology through the 4th industrial revolution. On the other hand, it is very difficult to guarantee the performance of high-tech weapon systems because the test for weapon systems has many risks and cannot perform in an actual operating environment. Therefore, M&S resources are needed to make sound weapon systems, but many people demand reliable M&S resources. Owing to the continuous demand and execution of the VV&A work, related rules have developed significantly, but tools and techniques for performing the work have not been developed. Hence, there are inefficient parts in the performance of work due to the absence of a systematic system. Accordingly, many risks may cause various safety accidents, such as security. This paper suggests a direction for the development of VV&A work procedures by improving efficiency and reducing risk.
