This paper presents a reliability analysis of S-bonds for AF track circuits, which detect train movement and transmit a speed control signal to the train. Field survey shows that S-bonds are exposed to very large vibrations transferred from rail, and suffer from frequent failures when they were installed on ballasted track. We collected the time-to-failure data of S-bonds from the maintenance field of Seoul metro line 2, and made a parametric approach to estimate the statistical distribution that fits the time-to-failure data. The analysis shows that S-bonds have time-to-failure characteristics described by Weibull distribution. The estimated shape parameter of Weibull distribution is 1.1, which means the distribution has constant failure rate characteristics like exponential distribution. The reliability function, hazard function, percentiles and mean lifetime are derived for maintenance support.

Failure rate serves as a pivotal role in reliability study. Of all, the constant failure rate is the most popularly used in field exercises. In reality, however, the electrical and electronic parts' life is represented by not only the constant failure rate but the decreasing and/or increasing failure rates. Explicit consideration and incorporation of them into the model development may yield more desirable results. In this study, we built a reliability model for failure rates varying over time intervals and derived well known measures such as probability density function, reliability function, mean life, moments, and mission time. We then evaluated mean life with consideration of the first-year multiplier and compared the results those with constant failure rate. The results given in the study may provide a reference applying for practical decision making.

시스템의 한 부품이 고장 나면 고장 난 부품이 분담하던 부하가 고장 나지 않은 다른 부품에 전가되어 다른 부품의 고장률에 영향을 주는 부하분배시스템에 대한 연구가 신뢰성 공학과 생물의학 분야에서 다양하게 이루어져왔다. 본 연구에서는 최소수명을 보증하는 부하분배체계의 체계단위수명 시험에서 부품의 수명관측이 불가능하며 체계의 수명관측이 가능한 경우에, 중도절단된 체계 고장데이터를 이용하여 부하분배체계의 평균수명과 체계 신뢰도의 최우추정치와 추정오차를 줄일 수 있는 수정된 최우추정치를 구하고 컴퓨터 모의실험을 통하여 그 성능을 비교한다.

The failure prediction and preventive maintenance for the equipment of nuclear power plant area using reliability-centered maintenance have been grown. On the other hand, the maintenance for power distribution system consists of time-based maintenance mainly. In this paper, the new maintenance algorithms for power distribution system are developed considering reliability indices. First of all, Time-varying failure rates are extracted from data accumulated at KEPCO using exponential distribution function and weibull distribution function. Next, based on the extracted failure rate, reliability for real power distribution system is evaluated for applying the effective maintenance algorithm which is the analytic method deciding the maintenance point of time and searching the feeder affecting the specific customer. Also the algorithm deciding the maintenance priority order are presented based on sensitivity analysis and equipment investment plan are analyzed through the presented algorithm at real power distribution system.

Reliability is an important issue on the digital reactor protection system. This paper presents a Quantitative reliability evaluation method to find out an improvement effect of availability for the digital control module with a fault detection function. It is a reliability evaluation model which considers only the electronics parts ocurring a spurious reactor trip by the FMEA(Failure Mode Effect Analysis). Applying the previous and present methods to the reactor protection system, the availability factors are evaluated and compared.

The reliability analysis for nonnormal distributions using the three level DOE(design of experiments) method was developed by Seo and Kwak in 2002. Although this method estimates only up to the first four moments(mean, standard deviation, skewness, and kurtosis) of the system response function, the result and the type of probability distribution determined by using the Pearson system are shown very good. However the accuracy is low in case of nonlinear performance function and sometimes, the level calculated is outside of the region in which the random variable is defined. In this article we suggest a modified three level DOE method to overcome these weaknesses and to obtain optimum choice for 3 levels and weights to handle nonnormal distributions. Furthermore we extend it to finding the optimum choice for 5 levels and weights to increase the accuracy in case of nonlinear performance function. A systematic procedure for reliability analysis is then proposed by using the Pearson system.

RBDO approach based on a sampling method with the Kriging metamodel and Constraint Boundary Sampling (CBS), which is sequential sampling method to generate metamodels is proposed. The major advantage of the proposed RBDO approach is that it does not require Most Probable failure Point (MPP) which is essential for First-Order Reliability Method (FORM)-based RBDO approach. The Monte Carlo Sampling (MCS), most well-known method of the sampling methods for the reliability analysis is used to assess the reliability of constraints. In addition, a Cumulative Distribution Function (CDF) of the constraints is approximated using Moving Least Square (MLS) method from empirical distribution function. It is possible to acquire a probability of failure and its analytic sensitivities by using an approximate function of the CDF for the constraints. Moreover, a concept of inactive design is adapted to improve a numerical efficiency of the proposed approach. Computational accuracy and efficiency of the proposed RBDO approach are demonstrated by numerical and engineering problems.

신뢰성 해석을 위한 직접계산법을 이용하여 경사제 피복재의 파괴확률이 안전계수의 함수로 산정되었다. 신뢰함수를 수립하기 위하여 현재 설계에서 가장 많이 적용되고 있는 Hudson 공식을 사용하였다. 제체의 경사, 피복재의 종류, 쇄파 및 비쇄파 그리고 각 확률변수의 상관성에 따른 안전계수와 파괴확률의 관계가 제시되었다. 또한 신뢰함수에 포함된 각 확률변수의 변동계수에 따른 영향이 민감도 분석을 통하여 정량적으로 해석되었다.
