To ensure the structural integrity of nuclear power plants, it is essential to predict the lifetime of Alloy 182 weld, which is used for welding in nuclear reactors. The lifetime of Alloy 182 weld is directly related to the crack initiation time. Owing to the large time scatter in most crack initiation tests, a probabilistic model, such as the Weibull distribution, has mainly been adopted for prediction. However, since statistically more advanced methods than current typical methods may be applied, we suggest a statistical procedure for parameter estimation of the crack initiation time of Alloy 182 weld, considering right-censored data and the covariate effect. Furthermore, we suggest a procedure for uncertainty evaluation of the estimators based on the bootstrap method. The suggested statistical procedure can be applied not only to Alloy 182 weld but also to any material degradation data set including right-censored data with covariate effect.

본 논문에서는 소형풍력발전시스템 블레이드 제작에 사용되는 복합재료의 피로수명 데이터에 대한 통계적 해석을 위하여 다양한 확률분포 모델의 적합성에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 이를 위하여 삼축 유리섬유강화 복합재료를 대상으로 0$^{\circ}C$, 45$^{\circ}C$ 및 90$^{\circ}C$ 의 하중방향에 대한 인장시험을 실시하였다. 또한 상기의 하중방향에 대하여 4 수준의 피로응력준에서의 피로시험을 수행하였다. 이를 통하여 획득한 피로수명 데이터를 대상으로 1) 전체 적합성, 2) 끝단 적합성 및 3) 피로물리 일치성의 기준을 이용하여 2 모수 Weibull, 3 모수 Weibull, 정규 및 대수정규분포의 적합성을 평가하였다. 또한 피로수명의 분산에 대한 하중방향 및 피로응력의 영향 역시 검토하였다.

본 논문에서는 공정별 해상작업 가능 기간의 합리적 산출이 가능한 확률모형이 제시된다. 확률모형을 유도하기 위해, 먼저 JMA(Japan Meterological Agency)와 NOAA(National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration)의 해상풍 자료와 SWAN에 기초하여 2003년 1월 1일부터 2017년 12월 31일까지 한 시간 간격으로 울산 전면 해역에서의 유의 파고와 첨두 주기를 역추산 하였다. 이어 모의된 유의파고 시계열 자료로부터 최소 자승법을 활용하여 장기 유의파고 확률분포를 도출하였으며, 해석결과 그 동안 선호되던 삼 변량 Weibull 분포보다는 수정 Glukhovskiy 분포 계열에서 일치도가 가장 우월하였다. 보다 정확한 확률모형의 개발 가능성을 검토하기 위해 Borgman 선회적분을 활용하여 역 추산 단위 간격인 한 시간 내에서 출현하는 개별 파랑이 고려된 파고분포도 함께 유도하였다. 수정 Glukhovskiy 분포의 모수는 $A_p=15.92$, $H_p=4.374m$, ${\kappa}_p=1.824$로 드러났으며 해상작업 한계 파고가 $H_S=1.5m$인 경우 작업가능일 수는 319일로 모의되었다. 이와 더불어 확률모형의 검증자료를 얻기 위해 파고가 해상 준설작업 한계 파고로 기 보고된 바 있는 $H_S=1.5m$(Lee, 1991)를 상회하여 지속되는 시간을 유의파고 시계열 자료를 파별분석(wave by wave analysis)하여 산출하였다. 산출결과 2003년부터 2017년까지의 평균 지속기간은 45.5일로 확률모형으로부터 산출된 기간에 상당히 근접하였다.

In this study, a failure mode analysis of CNC machining center is described. First, the system is classified through subsystems into components using part lists and drawings. The component failure rate and failure mode analysis are performed to identify the weak components of a machining center with reliability database. The failure probabilistic function of mechanical part is analyzed by Weibull distribution. The Kolmogorov-Smirnov test is also used to verify the goodness of fit.

This research presents the performance analysis of the linear type pneumatic actuators that are used in semi-conductor assembly line to transfer some product with high accuracy. To increase positioning and repetitive accuracies, a cross roller guide is implemented inside the pneumatic actuator. The finite element method is used to verify the force against working moments, and reliability analysis is performed to classify the breakdown cases. Also, reliability, failure rate, probability density function, and $B_{10}$ to life are estimated under the boundary of thrust or air leakage conditions. In this study, the failure probabilistic function of the pneumatic actuators is analyzed using Weibull distribution.

Rolling stock structures such as bogie frame and car body play an important role for the support of vehicle leading. In general, more than 25 years' durability is needed for them. A lot of study has been carried out for the prediction of the fatigue life of the bogie frame and car body in experimental and theoretical domains. One of the new methods is a probabilistic fatigue lift evaluation. The objective of this paper is to estimate the fatigue lift of the bogie frame of an electric car, which was developed by the Korea Railroad Research Institute (KRRI). We used two approaches. In the first approach probabilistic distribution of S-N curve and limit state function of the equivalent stress of the measured stress spectra are used. In the second approach, limit state function is also used. And load spectra measured by strain gauges are approximated by the two-parameter Weibull distribution. Other probabilistic variables are represented by log-normal and normal distributions. Finally, reliability index and structural integrity of the bogie frame are estimated.

In this study, in order to perform more efficiently reliability design and integrity assessment of structural members, the relational database management program on the engineering plastics was constructed. This program contained 476 grades for 14 kinds of the engineering plastics and was developed using MS-access and MS-visualbasic. This program consists of 3 modules; search condition, probabilistic characteristics of material property, evaluation of P-S-N curve. We perform fatigue test for probabilistic durability analysis and this results input the database program to estimate P-S-N.

The understanding of impact-induced delamination is important in safety and reliability of composite structure. In this study, a model for arrest toughness is proposed in consideration of fracture behavior of composite materials. Also, the probabilistic model is proposed to describe the variability of arrest toughness due to the nonhomogeneity of material. For these models, experiments were conducted on the Carbon/Epoxy composite plates with various thickness using the impact hammer. The elastic work factor used in J-Integral is applicable to the evaluation of energy release rate. The fracture behavior can be described by crack arrest concept and the arrest toughness is independent of the delamination size. Additionally, a probabilistic characteristics of arrest toughness is well described by the Weibull distribution function. A variation of arrest toughness increases with specimen thickness.
