The life data analysis of the system and component are useful to describe the result of reliability test in product life to satisfy customer's growing need and to change test specifications or design criteria by life data analysis. And vehicle durability tesr occurred market environment. In this study, a statistical analysis for the wear life of brake pad linings helped perform correlation procedure between vehicle durability test and market. B-life values of the brake pad wear life data from both vehicle durability test and marker usage were compared to determine acceleration of the test by the Weibull, normal and log-normal distribution. The acceleration coefficient of the vehicle durability test can access to evaluate design criteria of product and test specification.

The effect of experimental factors on the Freeze-Thaw durability in the High Strength Concrete has been analyzed and investigated with [DESIGN of EXPERIMENT: L16). The Experimental parameters included the type of aggregate and mixer, the conditions of aggregates, and the difference of mixing temperature, procedure and placing, etc. It is aim of this study to provide the fundamental data on the effect of various factors on the frost resistance of high strength concrete for the practical use and research data accumulation of durability inspection. The results of this experiment indicate that the freeze-thaw durability of high strength concrete is markedly affected by the coarse aggregate source, mixing temperature and curing conditions.

In recent years, many research works have been carried out in order to obtain a more controlled durability and long-term performance of concrete structures in chloride containing environments. In particular, the development of new procedures for probability-based durability analysis/design has proved to be very valuable. Although there is still a lack of relevant data, this approach has been successfully applied to some new concrete structures. In this paper, the equation used for modelling of the chloride penetration was based on Fick's Second Law of Diffusion in combination with a time dependent diffusion coefficient. The probability analysis of the durability performance was performed by use of a Monte Carlo Simulation. The procedure was applied to an example based on limited data gathered in this country. The influences of each parameter on the durability of concrete structures are studied and some comments for durability design are given. The new procedure may be very useful in designing an important concrete structures in chloride containing environments. Also it may help to predict the service life of concrete structures under a given probability of failure.

Recently durability design based on deterministic or probabilistic method has been attempted since service life evaluation in RC(Reinforced Concrete) structure exposed to chloride attack is important. The deterministic durability design contains a reasonable method with time effect on surface chloride content and diffusion coefficient, however the probabilistic design procedure has no consideration of time effect on both. In the paper, a technique on PDF(Probability of Durability Failure) evaluation is proposed considering time effect on diffusion and surface chloride content through equivalent surface chloride content which has same induced chloride content within a given period and cover depth. With varying period to built-up from 10 to 30 years and maximum surface chloride content from $5.0kg/m^3$ to $10.0kg/m^3$, the changing PDF and the related service life are derived. The proposed method can be reasonably applied to actual durability design with preventing conservative design parameters and considering the same analysis conditions of the deterministic method.

Recently, the electronic equipment industry has become active due to the continuous increase in portable storage media with high-speed information communication, and in particular, the production of SSD(Solid State Drives) for miniaturization of mobile devices and high-speed information communication has increased rapidly. When the SSD is ejecting in the SSD test gender, the necessary ejecting force must be kept constant to have a lifespan applicable to the test device. When the ejecting force increased, it leads to wear of the link for ejecting, which causes a problem in that repeated durability decreases and the ejecting of the SSD becomes impossible. In this paper, the repeated durability test analysis according to the material and the reducing ejecting force design were performed to increase the life of the test gender for SSD inspection. The wear level of the pusher head and ejector was analyzed through repeated durability tests according to the material of the pusher head. The validity of the design was verified through the ejecting force test and repeated durability test of the Test gender, which was designed by carrying out the design to reduce the size and ejecting force of the test gender.

The evaluation of durability performance in Virtual Testing Laboratory(VTL) is a new concept of vehicle design, which can reduce the automotive design period and cost. In this study, the multibody dynamics model of a car is built with a reverse engineering design. Hard points and masses of components are measured by a surface scanning device and imported into CAD system. In order to simulate the non-linear dynamic behavior of force elements such as dampers and bushes, components and materials are tested with specialized test equipments. An optimized numerical model for the damping behavior is used and the hysteresis of bush rubber is considered in the simulation. Loads of components are calculated in VTL and used in the evaluation of durability performance. In order to verify simulation results, loads of components in the vehicle are measured and durability tests are performed.

Military vehicles use run-flat wheels for emergency situations. Run-flat wheels can run required distance in a defined duration with the pressure loss tire. For the application of a run-flat system, wheels are designed in 2 pieces, including an inner rim and outer rim. These rims are assembled using clamping bolts. Clamping bolts determine the durability of military vehicle wheels because fracture of clamping bolts account for most wheel failures. For improving wheel durability, clamping bolt durability must be improved. In this study, wheel test conditions and bolt design were investigated. Existing test standards are not sufficient to conduct endurance tests. Supplementary conditions were investigated. Using these modified test conditions, the durability of wheels including clamping bolts was tested and verified. Results found the durability of wheels improved more than 168%. This study also proposes improvements in the design process of clamping bolts.

A design system for power transmission bevel gears(straight, zerol, and spiral) is developed, in which the strength and durability of bevel gears can be estimated and the size of bevel gears can be minimized by introducing optimal techniques. The size of bevel gear pair as the object function to be minimized is the volume of equivalent spur gear pair at mean normal section, and the design variables to be determined are considered as the number of teeth, face width, diametral pitch, and spiral angle in spiral bevel gear. The strength(bending strength, pitting resistance) according to the AGMA standards, geometrical quantities, and operating characteristics(interference of pinion, contact ratio, etc.) are considered as the constraints in design optimization. The optimization with these constraints becomes nonlinear problem and that is solved with ALM(Augmented Lagrange Multiplier) method. The developed design method is applied to the example designs of straight, zerol, and spiral bevel gears. The design results are acceptable from the viewpoint of strength and durability within the design ranges of all other constraint, and the bevel gears are designed toward minimizing the size of gear pair. This design method is easily applicable to the design of bevel gears used as power transmitting devices in machineries, and is expected to be used for weight minimization of bevel gear unit.
