This work is concerned with a statistical approach to the life prediction on irradiation-assisted stress corrosion cracking (IASCC) of stainless steel (SS) for core internals of a pressurized water reactor (PWR). The previous results of the time-to-failure of IASCC measured on neutron-irradiated stainless steel components were statistically analyzed in terms of stress and irradiation. The accelerating life testing model of IASCC of cold worked Type 316 SS was established based on an inverse power model with two stress-variables, the applied stress and irradiation dose. Considering the variation of the yield strength and applied stress with the irradiation dose in the model, the remaining life of the baffle former bolt was statistically predicted during operation under complex environments of stress and irradiation.

To application Arrhenius model for OLED's lifetime, it's needed in high temperature test. Because OLED's character is changed in high temperature, it's important to find limit temperature. We found out $40^{\circ}C$ is proper temperature by result of tests. But that is not enough acceleration to apply in practical affairs. We find new stress to get a bigger accelerated constant.

Recently days, High Accelerated Life Test of electrical and electronic parts is increasing its importance. This study set the hypothesis to develop the method that was analysis and application of HALT for the automotive electrical and electronic parts, it used Arrhenius's Model and Eyring's Model, and ESS theory. Validity of application is proved by other test data. Especially, this study emphasis on utility of acceleration to temperature, humidity, voltage, mechanical stress and other stress. In this study set the pattem of practical application. Therefore, this study emphasis on the application of the HALT and the use of other parameter by acceleration reliability test data. The result of this study is as follows. 1) There is relationship between molar weight and material constant. 2) Characteristic of material is operating acceleration factor as well as parts failure factors. Of course, according to the characteristic of material, activation energy is often more important than molar weight. But it will be defined by more testing and improvements in practical application.

The Notched Ring Test(NRT) has proven to be very useful in determining the slow crack growth behavior of polyethylene pressure pipes. In particular, the test is simple and an order of magnitude shorter in experimental times as compared to the currently used Notched Pipe Test(NPT), which makes this method attractive for use as the accelerated slow crack growth test. In addition, since the NRT specimen is taken directly from the pipe, having maintained the cross-section, processing induced artifacts that would affect the slow crack growth behavior are not altered. This makes the direct comparison to the slow crack growth specimen in pipe from more meaningful. In this study, for comparison with other available slow crack growth methods, including the NPT, the stress intensity factor equation for NRT specimen was developed and demonstrated of its accuracy within 3% of that obtained from the finite element analysis. The equation was derived using a flexure formula of curved beam bending along with numerically determined geometric factors. The accuracy of the equation was successfully tested on 63, 110, 140, 160, 250, and 400 mm nominal pipe diameters, with crack depth ranging from 15 % to 45 % of the pipe wall thickness, and for standard dimensional ratio(SDR) of 9, 11, and 13.6. Using this equation the slow crack results from 110SDR11 NRT specimen were compared to that from the NPT specimen, which demonstrated that the NRT specimen was equivalent to the NPT specimen in creating the slow crack, however in much shorter experimental times.

본 연구는 PC 사용 환경에 주로 사용되는 2.5인치 HDD의 수명을 예측하기 위해서, 시장 불량 모드분석을 반영한 시험계획을 수립하고, 온도 스트레스 인자를 반영한 가속 수명 모델을 구하고자 하였다. PC 사용 환경을 분석 한 후, 쓰기와 읽기 동작을 각 50 %, 임의 주소와 순차 주소방식을 각 50 %로 시험 절차를 정했고, $50^{\circ}C$, $60^{\circ}C$ 환경에서 최대 성능의 95 % 성능조건으로 1000시간 시험하는 조건으로 가속 수명을 실시하였다. 시험과정에서 발생하는 불량 발생시간의 데이터로 anderson-darling 적합도 검증을 진행하여 불량 분포가 weibull 분포를 따름을 확인하였고, 형상모수와 척도모수가 동일함을 확인하였으며, 와이블-아레니우스 모형을분석하여, 형상모수 0.7177, 사용 조건($30^{\circ}C$)에 특성 수명 429434시간을 산출하였다. 가속 온도별 시험데이터로 동질성 검증을 실시한 결과 통계적으로 유의하지 않았으며(p<0.05), 활성화 에너지로 0.2775 eV를 산출하였다. 가속 시험의 정확성 확보차원에서 가속시험 불량시료와 시장 반품 시료로 고장분석을 진행한 결과, 불량 모드 별 점유율에 세부차이는 있으나, 점유율 순위는 일치 하였다. 본 연구는 PC환경에서 사용되는 2.5 inch HDD의 가속 시험 절차를 제안하며, 제조자와 사용자 간에 수명 예측에 대한 도움을 주고자 한다.

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.

A trial run of locally-developed tilting train has been in process on Chungbuk line since the test vehicle was first produced. For the system stabilization, interface verification among the systems including track, structure, catenary and signaling system, not to mention the rolling stock, is very crucial. In the area of wayside structure, the stability of track structure and train run shall be evaluated through the review of impact by increased speed by developed train on track structure. The study thus was intended to evaluate the impact on track while a tilting train is running the conventional line(ballast track), which is vulnerable to accelerated train speed. The evaluation of tilting train test running the part of Honam line was conducted to identify the impact on existing track performance by tilting train. To identify the performance of each part of track components while tilting train and high speed train were running the existing line, wheel load, rail bending stress, vertical displacement of rail and sleeper were compared so as to evaluate the expected impact by tilting train for improving the train speed.

In this study, the experimental and analytical investigation on structural integrity evaluation of spline shaft of self propelled artillery' generator were carried out. For this work, macro and microstructure fractography of spline shaft were observed. According to the results of the structure analysis and simulation, the shaft was redesigned and optimized. To improve the stiffness and shear stress, the material was changed from the SNCM220 to SNCM439 and surface roughness and protective coating treatment are changed to increase the stress relaxation, respectively. From the result of the torsion test of shaft and accelerated life test of generator, the shaft of a SNCM439 with heat-treatment(Q/T) and electroless nickel plating was superior quality reliability and durability than the others. Therefore, modeling and simulation corresponded well with the experimental result and structural safety was confirmed by generator performing.

Acoustic emission (AE) is one of the promising methods for detecting the formation of stress corrosion cracks (SCCs) in laboratory tests. This method has the advantage of online inspection. Some studies have been conducted to investigate the characteristics of AE parameters during SCC propagation. However, it is difficult to classify the distinct features of SCC behavior. Because the previous studies were performed on slow strain rate test or compact tension specimens, it is difficult to make certain correlations between AE signals and actual SCC behavior in real tube-type specimens. In this study, the specimen was a AISI 304 stainless steel tube widely applied in the nuclear industry, and an accelerated test was conducted at high temperature and pressure with a corrosive environmental condition. The study result indicated that intense AE signals were mainly detected in the elastic deformation region, and a good correlation was observed between AE activity and crack growth. By contrast, the behavior of accumulated counts was divided into four regions. According to the waveform analysis, a specific waveform pattern was observed during SCC development. It is suggested that AE can be used to detect and monitor SCC initiation and propagation in actual tubes.
