For reliability assessment for machine tools, failure mode analyses by two viewpoints were studied in this paper. First, this study developed the reliability data analysis program, which searches f3r optimal failure distribution like failure rate or MTBF(Mean Time Between Failure) using failure data and reliability test data of mechanical parts in the web. Moreover, this data analysis program saves both failure data or reliability data and their failure rate or MTBF for database establishment. Second, this paper conducted failure mode analysis through such performance tests as circular movement test and vibration testing for machine tools when reliability data is not available. A developed web-based analysis program shows correlations between failure mode and performance test result and also accumulates all the data. These kinds of data analysis programs and stored data furnish valuable information for improving the reliability of mechanical system.

Objectives: Work stress is associated with non-communicable diseases, increased healthcare costs, and decreased work productivity among employees in the information technology sector. There is a need for regular work-stress screening among employees using valid and reliable tools. The Tool to Assess and Classify Work Stress (TAWS-16) was developed to overcome limitations in existing stress assessment tools in India. This study aimed to test the reliability of TAWS-16 in a sample of managerial-supervisory employees. Methods: This observational reliability study included data from 62 employees. Test-retest and inter-method reliability were investigated using a TAWS-16 web application and interview by telephone, respectively. Kappa values and intra-class correlation coefficients were calculated. Internal consistency was assessed through Cronbach's alpha. Results: For both test-retest and inter-method reliability, the agreement for both work-related factors and symptoms suggestive of work stress exceeded 80%, and all kappa values were 0.40 or higher. Cronbach's alpha for test-retest and inter-method reliability was 0.983 and 0.941, respectively. Conclusions: TAWS-16 demonstrated acceptable reliability. It measured stressors, coping abilities, and psychosomatic symptoms associated with work stress. We recommend using TAWS-16 to holistically identify work stress among employees during periodical health check-ups in India.

Product reliability is important to quality and competitiveness. Much management and engineering efforts go into evaluating reliability, assessing new designs and changes of manufacturing processes, identifying cause of failure. Major methods are based on environmental test. In this study, we analysis the environmental test data of the electrical component, unit, set. These data were gathered for 7 years.

Korean Tilting trains have tested on conventional lines since the beginning of 2007 for evaluating its reliability. We achieved some major performance tests which are the maximum operation speed 180km/h test and the maximum curves increasing speed with tilting operation test. In order to analysis reliability data of tilting train, we have used the special data aquisition system which consists of monitor, sensors and depot computer etc. As a results of calculation, until now we realized that the reliability are getting more increasing than starting point of running test.

As an alternative to traditional life testing, degradation tests can be effective in assessing product reliability when measurements of degradation leading to failure can be observed. This article presents an accelerated degradation testing for vacuum fluorescent displays (VFDs). The accelerated degradation model is based on Arrhenius-lifetime relationship for cathode temperatures. We compare the results between accelerated degradation test and test at normal use condition. Accelerated degradation test for display devices is observed as an efficient method to warrantee product reliability to customers, as well as a tool to save time and costs.

신뢰성 보증을 위한 인증시험(reliability qualification test)이나 수락시험(reliability acceptance test)에 있어서 가장 널리 사용되는 시험방식 중의 하나가 무고장 시험방식(zero-failure test)이다. 무고장 시험방식이 선호되는 이유는 요구수명을 주어진 신뢰수준으로 보장하는 시험방식들 중에서 적용이 비교적 수월하며 상대적으로 시험기간이나 시료수를 줄일 수 있다는 점 때문이다. 그러나 무고장 시험의 경우, 시험을 의뢰하는 입장에서는 고장이 하나라도 발생하면 불합격 된다는 부담감을 가질 수 있으며 생산자 위험이 커진다는 단점도 가지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 문제를 보완한 2단계 시험방식을 설계, 제안하고 시험시간, OC곡선 등 시험방식의 특성을 무고장 시험방식과 비교, 분석하였다.

Since guided weapon is high-cost and one-shot device which is non-reusable, it requires a lot of resources to prove required accuracy as a part of reliability demonstration. Once a test for proving accuracy rate of guided missile fails, it causes an additional cost and delay of schedule. This study introduces an equation for proper sample size and plan for guided-missile accuracy rate test in order to minimize the risk of test failure. Proper sample size for the test is derived by considering the reliability growth. Furthermore, each task for accuracy rate test is defined according to the development step. Therefore, this study can contribute to reduce sample size for accuracy rate test in order to meet the reliability requirement and assure transparency in the test process.

A train is subject to a series of reliability-related tasks through its entire life cycle. Among them the reliability demonstration is required for commercial trains and the test is performed during the commissioning period or the early stage of the commercial operation. On the other hands various test are carried out for prototype trains and hence their operational condition is quit different from that of the commercial trains. One should take account of these differences when reliability assessment is needed for the prototype trains. This paper presents a procedure and an analysis method to evaluate reliability of a prototype train. Reliability data have been obtained through test runs of the HSR-350x and operational conditions for the KTX and HSR-350x have been analyzed to compare the reliability targets of the prototype train.

This paper proposes an accelerated life evaluation of drive shaft. The life test of drive shaft for independent suspension type AWD vehicle should be performed by use of the least test sample because many number of samples can't be used for the test because of its mass capacity and high price. We calculated the no failure test time by application of no failure test concept, and the already performed test data for drive shaft are applied for some kinds of reliability coefficients which are needed for calculation of life test time. And, for analysis of real driving condition of vehicle, the load spectrum is prepared using the needed road condition and vehicle data. The inverse power model is used for accelerated life test. The equivalent torque of load spectrum is achieved by use of Miner's Rule, and then the final accelerating condition is determined by decision of the accelerated test torque. This paper shows that the accelerated life test results corresponds with the target life and the proposed life test method can be very well applied to no failure life test for mass capacity machinery components.
