Stainless steel sheets are widely used as the structure material for the railroad cars and the commercial vehicles. These kinds structures used stainless steel sheets are commonly fabricated by using the gas welding. Gas welding is very important and useful technology in fabrication of a railroad car and vehicles structure.However fatigue strength of the gas welded joints is considerably lower than parent metal due to stress concentration at the weld, fatigue strength evaluation of gas welded joints are very important to evaluate the reliability and durability of railroad cars and to establish a criterion of long life fatigue design. In this paper, $({\Delta}{\sigma}_a)_R-N_f$ curve were obtained by fatigue tests. Using these results, the accelerated life test(ALT) was conducted. From the experimental results, an acceleration model was derived and acceleration factors are estimated. So it is intended to obtain the useful information for the fatigue lifetime of plug and ring gas welded joints and data analysis by statistic reliability method, to save time and cost, and to develop optimum accelerated life prediction plans.

포화 수증기압이 고출력 형광체 변환 백색 LED 패키지의 열화현상에 미치는 주요 스트레스 인자임을 확인하였다. 또한 LED 패키지의 가속 수명시험을 통하여 포화 수증기압이 효과적인 가속 스트레스 인자임을 확인하였다. 실험조건은 350 mA 전류를 인가한 것과 인가하지 않은 2가지 조건에 대해 $121^{\circ}C$, 100% R.H. 환경에서 최대 168 시간동안 진행하였다. 실험결과 두 실험 모두 광 출력 감소, 스펙트럼 세기의 감소, 누설전류 및 열 저항이 증가하였다. 고장분석 결과 광 특성의 열화는 봉지재의 변색과 기포에 의해 발생한 것으로 나타났다. LED 패키지의 변색과 흡습에 의해 유발되는 기계적 (hygro-mechanical) 스트레스에 의한 기포 발생은 패키지 열화의 중요한 인자로써, 포화 수증기압이 고출력 LED의 수명시험 시간을 단축하기 위한 스트레스 인자로 적합함을 알 수 있었다.

전력수요와 부하용량이 증가 되어감에 따라 부하에 전력공급을 위한 간선으로서의 케이블은 설치 시간의 과다와 공간의 제약으로 사용이 제한적이다. 이런 문제를 해결하기 위한 간선 시스템으로 대전류를 효율적으로 공급해 줄 수 있는 버스웨이 시스템의 사용이 증가되고 있으나, 신뢰성의 검증을 위한 시험평가 방법과 그에 대한 결과 제시가 부족한 실정이다. 본 논문에서는 에폭시를 주절연으로 하는 버스웨이 시스템의 신뢰성 검증을 위해서 IEC 61439-6에서 제시된 시험항목이외에 장기 사용성과 신뢰성을 평가할 수 있는 시험항목을 선정하였다. 열 및 전기적 스트레스를 동시에 인가하여 최대한 실사용 상태를 반영한 복합가속열화시험을 실시하였으며, 50년 수명 조건을 충족하도록 열화 조건을 선정하여 버스웨이 시스템의 절연성능 확인시험을 통해 수명을 만족함을 확인하였다. 또한, 버스웨이가 설치되는 온도, 습도 및 부하전류 사용 환경에 대한 적합성 확인에 대한 신뢰성 평가 시험항목으로서 열적 과전류 시험, 침수시험, 냉충격시험, 온도 사이클 시험을 선정하여 실시하였으며, 확인 시험을 통해 시험 전후의 특성 변화와 이상 유무를 검토하였다. 이 결과들로부터 에폭시 절연형 버스웨이 시스템의 평가항목으로서 본 논문에서 제시한 시험항목이 적절하고, 그에 대한 제품의 성능도 우수함을 확인하였다.

Purpose: In this study, the life of the motor is investigated by performing the accelerated life test with the brush wear of the industrial cleaner motor as the main failure mode. Methods: The accelerating stress factor of the accelerated life test is a voltage, which can increase the number of revolutions of the motor to accelerate the brush wear due to the friction between the brush and the commutator. Also, the accelerating stress level was determined after determining the maximum allowable level of the voltage through the preliminary test. Results: The motor failure time at each accelerating stress level was predicted by regression analysis with brush wear length as performance degradation data. The main failure mode, which is brush wear, of the motor was reproduced by this test. The shape parameter of the Weibull distribution was confirmed to be the same statistically at all accelerating stress levels by the likelihood ratio test. Conclusion: The life of the motor was investigated by performing the accelerated life test with the brush wear of the industrial cleaner motor as the main failure mode. Through the accelerating test method of the cleaner motor, various life expectancy and life expectancy of the acceleration factor are predicted.

This paper describes a Accelerated Life Test (ALT) with the electrical contact erosion suitable to the evaluations of high-reliability and durability devices such as magnetic contactor. Recently, an electrical devices company was interested in accelerated life test (ALT), the product liability (PL) and the short-term testing model of electrical life test (ELT). In order to estimate a model for testing fee and period, need to the statistical analysis method with the acceleration factor(AF). Usually customer/manufacturer regard their device failure to the over-current or heavy duty condition, while devices view shape of contact erosion owing to operational duty problem. In this paper, additional method of evaluation estimated the operated cycles by weight of contact erosion with a used of regression analysis by MINITAB.

A Rubber mount is widely used for mechanical parts or engineering materials. Especially, it plays an important role in reducing mechanical vibration due to cyclic loading. But, rubber mount is damaged due to the cyclic loading and resonance. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate evaluation of fatigue life considering vibration characteristics for rubber. In this study, a vibration fatigue analysis was performed and based on Power Spectral Density(PSD) and the stress-life curve and a result of frequency response analysis in the finite element method. The measured load history in experiment was transformed to PSD curve. The stress-life curve was obtained by nonlinear static analysis and fatigue test. In addition, frequency response analysis was conducted for mechanical part. In order to evaluate fatigue life of rubber mount, vibration fatigue test was conducted at the constant acceleration-level as well. Fatigue life was determined when the load capacity is reduced to 60% of its initial value. As a result, predicted fatigue life of rubber mount agreed fairly well with the experimental fatigue life.

An electric double-layer capacitor(EDLC) is an electrochemical capacitor with relatively high energy density, typically hundreds of times greater than conventional electrolytic capacitors. EDLCs are widely used for energy storage rather than as general-purpose circuit components. They have a variety of commercial applications, notably in energy smoothing and momentary-load devices, and energy-storage and kinetic energy recovery system devices used in vehicles, etc. This paper presents an accelerated degradation test of an EDLC with rated voltage 2.7V, capacitance 100F, and usage temperature $-40^{\circ}C{\sim}65^{\circ}C$. The EDLCs are tested at $50^{\circ}C$, $60^{\circ}C$, and $70^{\circ}C$, respectively for 1,750hours, and their capacitances are measured at predetermined times by constant current discharge method. The failure times are predicted from their capacitance deterioration patterns, where the failure is defined as 30% capacitance decrease from the initial one. It is assumed that the lifetime distribution of EDLC follows Weibull and Arrhenius life-stress relationship holds. The life-stress relationship, acceleration factor, and $B_{10}$ life at design condition are estimated by analyzing the accelerated life test data.

The present study describes the considerations on the long-term reliability of the on-line partial discharge (PD) ceramic sensor for thermal power generators. Voltage acceleration aging tests were carried out under continuous and impulsive thermal aging at more than $100^{\circ}C$, considering the practical service environment. Experimental results show that the sensors have a life that could last for more than 100 years, excellent dielectric characteristics, and insulation strength. In addition, the ceramic on-line PD sensors were installed in a thermal power generator in Korea for demonstration. The results of the PD calibration and test voltage application prove that the on-line ceramic sensors have satisfactory performances for on-line PD measurement.
