This paper presents the log likelihood function for integrated models for ALT such as exponential-general Eyring, Weibull-temperature and specific heat, lognormal-temperature and specific heat. Additionally this paper estimates the system reliability and mean time to failure(MTTF) for series, parallel, k of n, and standby system using ALT linkage parameter. Lastly this study designs three variable reliability acceptance sampling(RAS) plans such as type I, II censored test, sequential test by the use of integrated models for ALT.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to analyze the failure modes of an auto transfer switch (ATS), determine the most common failure mechanisms, and iterate the design to improve reliability. Methods: We carried out failure mode and effect analysis (FMEA) to determine the failure modes and mechanisms. We identified the parts or modules that required improvement via two-stage quality function deployment based on FMEA, and improvements to reliability were monitored using the Gomperz growth model. Results: The main failure modes of the ATS were damage to, and deformation of, the stator / movable element due to repetitive movements. Five iterations of design modification were carried out, and the mean time to failure (MTTF) increased to 14,539 cycles, corresponding to 85% of the target MTTF. The Gompertz growth model indicates that the 10th iteration of design modification is expected to achieve the target MTTF. Conclusion: We improved the reliability of mechanical parts via failure mode analysis, and characterized the iterative improvements in the MTTF using the Gompertz growth model.

This research presents the reliability analysis of the pneumatic actuator within the tape feeder that is used to transfer the correct force to linked parts during l.0E+7 cycles. First, the degradation analysis for thrust and air leakage is executed to obtain the failure data of a product based on its performance over time. Second, once the parameters has been calculated using the weibull 2-parameter distribution and MLE(Maximum Likelihood Estimation), information related to life such as reliability, failure rate, probability density function is estimated. Finally, MTTF(Mean Time To Failure) and $B_{10}$ life of actuators are calculated. MTTF means the mean life at the confidence level and $B_{10}$ life refers to the time by which 10% of the product would fail. In this study, failure causes and solutions are examined using the reliability analysis.

This paper deals with the reliability and availability characteristics of three different series system configurations with warm standby components and a repairable service station. The failure time of the primary and warm standby are assumed to be exponentially distributed with parameters ${\lambda}$ and ${\alpha}$ respectively. The repair time distribution of each server is also exponentially distributed with parameter ${\mu}$. The breakdown time and the repair time of the service station are also assumed exponentially distributed with parameters ${\gamma}$ and ${\beta}$ respectively. We derive the reliability dependent on time, availability dependent on time, the mean time to failure, $MTTF_i$, and the steady-state availability $A_i$(${\infty}$) for three configurations and perform comparisons. Comparisons are made for specific values of distribution parameters and of the cost of the components. The three configurations are ranked based on: $MTTF_i$, $A_i$(${\infty}$), and $C_i/B_i$ where $B_i$ is either $MTTF_i$ or $A_i$(${\infty}$).

본 연구에서는 Ti/Al/Ti 금속 배선의 Electro-Migration(EM) 현상을 분석했다. Van der Pauw, Greek Cross bridge, Straight line linear line bridge를 결합한 패턴을 제작하여, 온도 변화에 따른 EM의 발생 시간(Failure Time)을 측정했다. 측정 조건은 W/L=3.5/300 um 소자에 전류 밀도(current density)를 $J=10^4A/cm^2$로 고정하고, 온도를 300 K, 350 K, 400 K로 가변 시켰다. 측정된 Cumulative Failure의 50 % 되는 지점(Median Time To Failure; MTTF)은 각각 22.3시간, 18.46시간, 15.4시간으로 온도가 300 K에서 400 K로 증가함에 따라 MTTF가 6.9시간 감소했다. 이 결과를 통해 Black방정식에서 온도 변수가 $t_{50}$에 영향을 주는 것을 확인했다. 온도가 증가함에 따라 더 많은 전자들이 원자에 충돌하면서 운동량을 전달하고, 더 많은 원자들이 이주되면서 EM 발생 시간이 감소했다.

In this paper, we study the reliability analysis of a repairable system with two types of failure in which switching failures and reboot delay are considered. Let units in this system be cold standby, and failure rate and repair rate of [type1, type2] components be exponentially distributed. The expressions of reliability characteristics - such as the system reliability and the mean time to system failure MTTF - are derived. We use several cases to graphically analyze the effect of various system parameters on the system reliability and MTTF. We also perform a sensitivity analysis of the reliability characteristics with changes in specific values of the system's parameters.

Starting with the meaning of the word quality, diverse concepts connoted by the term are examined. Instead of a bathtub curve, the desirable shape of a failure rate covering the entire life of a good product, which might be called hockey-stick line, is introduced. From the hockey-stick line and the definition of reliability, two measurements are extracted. The terms r-reliability (failure rate) and durability (product life) are explained. The conceptual analysis of failure mechanics explains that reliability technology pertains to design area. The desirable shape of hazard rate curve of electronic items, hockey-stick line, clarifies that Mean-Time-to-failure (MTTF) as the inverse of failure rate can be regarded a nominal life. And Bx life, different from MTTF, is explained. Reliability relationships between components and set products are explained. Reshaped definitions of r-reliability and durability are recommended. The procedure to improve reliability and the reasons for failing to identify failure mode are clarified in order to search right solutions. And generalized Life-Stress failure model is recommended for the calculation of acceleration factor.

This paper considers a consecutive k-out-of-n:F system when the failure of a component in the system induces higher failure rate of the preceding survivor. The reliability, mean time to failure(MTTF), and average failure number of a consecutive k-out-of-n:F system are obtained, when the failure of a component increases the failure rate of the survivor which is working just before the failed component. Then the optimal number of consecutive failed components to minimize this long run average cost rate can be obtained. An example is considered to calculate the reliability, MTTF and average failure number of the system. And two procedures that find the optimal number of consecutive failed components are studied. Then, various cases of system parameters are also studied.

장기수명특성 분포를 나타내는 제품의 유효수명 예측은 경험적인 Data와 현장정보만으로는 한계가 있으며, 이러한 한계를 극복하기 위해서는 초가속수명시험을 근거로 하는 유효수명예측이 반드시 필요한 상황이다. 그러나, 현장의 문제점은 이러한 사실을 바탕으로 하더라도 MTTF 혹은 MTBF, 심지어 Br수명분포까지도 제품 유효수명과의 상관관계가 어떻게 분포하는지에 관해 정확한 GUIDE LINE없이 적용하는 문제로 인하여 기업의 COPQ 부담이 증대하고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 기업의 COPQ부담을 경감시키고, 제품의 유효수명예측의 정밀도를 향상하기 위한 대안으로서 HALT와 제품유효수명간의 상관관계를 규명하는데 주력하였다.

In the present paper we develop a mathematical model that facilitates the calculation of reliability of a complex repairable system having three units namely super priority, priority and ordinary. The system is analyzed with the application of Gumbel Hougaard copula when different types of repair possible at a particular state due to deliberate failure. Various reliability measures such as reliability, MTTF and profit function have been evaluated by using supplementary variable and Laplace transform techniques.
