Purpose: The purpose of this study was to develop the accelerated life test method for Constant Electrical Potential Electrolysis gas sensor (CEPE gas sensor). Methods: The parts and modules of CEPE gas sensor were analyzed by using Reliability Block Diagram (RBD). Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA) and Quality Function Deployment (QFD) methods were performed for each part to determine the most affecting stress factor in its life cycle. The long term testing was conducted at three different dry heat levels and the acceleration factor was developed by using Arrhenius relationship. Conclusion: The acceleration factor for CEPE gas sensor was developed by using FMEA, QFD, and statistical analysis for its failure data. Also qualification tests were designed to meet the target life.

스테인리스 강판은 동적기계구조물을 제작하기 위한 구조용 재료로 널리 사용된다. 또한 이들을 일체화 시키는 방법으로 가스용접을 많이 사용하게 되는데 가스용접에는 다양한 종류에 의해 구조물을 일체화 시킨다. 따라서 부재와 부재를 연결하는 용접부에 대한 응력분포 및 피로강도평가는 구조물의 건전성 및 수명을 연구하는데 매우 중요한 요소가 된다. 그래서 본 연구에서는 피로시험에 의해서 얻어지는 ${\Delta}P-N_f$ 관계를 유한요소해석법에 의해서 최대주응력으로 ${\Delta}{\sigma}-N_f$ 관계로 나타내어 피로설계기준을 정하였고, 이 결과를 이용해서 확률론적 통계해석기법을 적용해서 가속식을 추정하여 임의의 목표수명을 예측할 수 있는 신뢰성설계기술기법을 제시하고자 하였다.

The application of the high-performance insulation materials for buildings seems to be an essential measure for reducing energy use in buildings. Phenolic foam is a readily available insulation material with thermal conductivity of about 0.018 to 0.020 W/(mK). It has the advantage of higher thermal resistance and better fire resistance compared to other conventional building insulation materials. Insulation material used for building envelope is regarded as one of the decisive factors for building's energy load. Furthermore, the degradation of its thermal performance over time increasingly affects the building's energy use demand. Generally, the life span of conventionally built buildings is expected to be more than 50 years, so the long-term performance of insulation materials is critical. This paper aims to evaluate the long-term performance of phenolic form boards through an accelerated aging test. The tests were conducted according to BS EN 13166 and KS M ISO 11561. Based on the results of the accelerated aging test, the thermal performance variation of the material was analyzed, and then its aged value after 25 years was computed. Also, the characteristics of the phenolic foam board's long-term performance were also examined based on the standard testing methods adopted.

Renewable energy has become more popular with the increase in the use of solar power. Consequently, the disposal of defective and old solar panels is gradually increasing giving rise to a new problem. Furthermore, the efficiency and power output decreases with aging. Researchers worldwide are engaged in solving this problem by developing eco-module technologies that restore and reuse the solar panels according to the defect types rather than simple disposal. The eco-module technology not only solves the environmental problem, but also has economic advantages, such as extending the module life. Replacement of encapsulants contributes to a major portion of the module maintenance plan, as the degradation of encapsulants accounts for 60% of the problems found in modules over the past years. However, the current International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) standard testing was designed for the commercialization of solar modules. As the problem caused by long-term use is not considered, this method is not suitable for the quality assurance evaluation of the eco-module. Therefore, to design a new accelerated test, this paper provides an overview of EVA degradation and comparison with the IEC and accelerated tests.

HTPB 고체 추진제 기계적 물성의 후경화 효과에 대하여 시편 시험을 통하여 평가하였다. 후경화 반응 완료 후 시편 가속노화 시험을 실시하여 Arrhenius 식의 계수를 획득하였다. 확인을 위하여 원통형 모사 충전체를 설계, 제작하여 가속노화 시험을 수행하였으며, 시험 후 추진제 표면 부위, 중앙 부위, 접착 부위에 대하여 시편을 채취하여 노화 물성을 평가하였다. 측정된 결과에 대하여, 획득된 가속노화 식으로 예측하여 비교하였다. 그 결과 JANNAF 시편 시험을 통한 가속노화 식은 추진제 재료의 노화를 잘 예측하였으나 접착 부위에서는 실제 측정 결과와 차이를 나타내었다. 따라서 실기형 추진기관에서 노화 시료를 채취하는 경우 시험 목적에 부합하도록 시편 채취 부위를 선정해야 한다.

Rail car axles are very important parts for safety of passengers and structural integrity of vehicles. The axles are supported by bearings. To seal grease lubricating the bearings of freight cars, an oil seal has been developed. The developed oil seal is composed of an inner plate, an outer plate and a seal rubber. The friction between axle and housing with the developed oil seal is very low. The seals are designed for a minimum life expectancy of 800,000 kilometers service. In this study, an accelerated durability tests according to AAR Specification M-934-82 were carried out. In addition, various performance tests according to KS B 2804 were conducted.

10년 이상 보관된 니트로셀룰로오스 (Nitrocellulose, 니트로셀룰로오스) 재질의 화약용기 안전 검사를 진행하는 과정 중 화약이 보관되어진 용기에 균열이 발생한 것을 확인하여 고장 원인 분석 시험을 실시하였다. 고장이 발생한 데에 영향을 준 요인을 선별하기 위해 먼저 고장수목분석(Fault Tree Analysis, FTA)을 통해 고장 요인 및 원인에 대해 탐구하였으며, 보관 시 발생할 수 있는 내·외부적인 요인 및 환경에 대한 영향성을 확인한 결과 열에 의해 화학 반응이 가속화되어 발생한 화약용기의 물성 변화가 고장의 원인인 것으로 추정하였다. 이를 확인하기 위해 자연 노화된 화약용기를 이용하여 열충격시험, 양립성 시험 등의 환경시험을 수행하여 고장의 원인 분석을 수행하였으며, 가속노화시험을 통해 고장 재현 시험을 실시하였다. 이를 통해 앞선 고장수목분석 결과와 같이 열과 화약에 의해 화학 반응이 가속화되는 것을 확인할 수 있었으며, 화약용기의 물성이 변화하는 것을 확인하였다. 또한, 열 노화에 의한 수명 추정을 위해 아레니우스 모델(Arrhenius Model)을 이용하여 화약용기의 사용 수명을 추정하였다.

In this paper, We observed degradation characteristics of luminous flux for PLS. Because degradation tests can be a useful tool for assessing the reliability when few or even no failures are expected in a life tests, and we also use a temperature chamber to accelerate degradation of luminous flux for PLS. As a result, Exponential distribution and equation is best suitable model for PLS.

This paper presents an attempt to develop probabilistic multistress life models to evaluate the lifetime characteristics of epoxy-encapsulated magnet wire with heavy build polyurethane enamel. A set of accelerated life tests were conducted over a wide range of pulsating voltages, temperatures, and frequencies. Samples of fine gauge twisted pairs of the encapsulated magnet wire were tested us-ing a pulse endurance dielectric test system. An electrical-thermal lifetime function was combined with the Weibull distribution of lifetimes. The parameters of the combined Weibull-electrical-thermal model were estimated using maximum likelihood estimation. Likewise, a generalized electrical-thermal-frequency life model was also developed. The parameters of this new model were estimated using multiple linear regression technique. It was found in this paper that lifetime estimates of the two proposed probabilistic multistress life models are good enough. This suggests the suitability of using the general electrical-thermal-frequency model to estimate the lifetime of the encapsulated magnet wire over a wide range of voltages, temperatures and pulsating frequencies.

To endorse the reliability and durability of the solar photovoltaic (PV) device several tests were conducted before exposing to the outdoor field in a non-ideal condition. The PV module has high probability that intend to perform adequately for 30 years under operating conditions. To evaluate the long term performance of the PV module in diversified terrestrial conditions, one should use the outdoor performance data. However, no one wants to wait for 25 years to determine the module reliability. The accelerating stress tests performing in the laboratory by mimicking different field conditions are thus important to understand the performance of a PV module. In this review, we will discuss briefly about different accelerating stress types, levels and prioritization that are used to evaluate the PV module reliability and durability before using them in real field.
