Recently small punch creep testing (or miniature disc bend creep test) has received much attention through European collaborative research projects. This method was considered as a substitute for the conventional creep rupture testing by which the residual creep life is measured from the specimen taken out from serviced components of high temperature plants. It would be beneficial if the material creep properties such as power law creep constants as well as the creep rupture life can be measured from the small punch creep test. In this paper a method of assessing creep constants from the small punch creep testing is proposed. Finite element analyses were performed to investigate evolution of stress and strain rate at the weakest locations of the small punch creep specimen. Elastic-plastic-secondary creep analyses were carried out. The estimation equations for creep constants by the small punch creep testing are proposed based on the finite analysis results. Small punch creep tests were also performed with 9Cr steel and the accuracy of the proposed equation was verified by the experimental results.

The problem of trend change in the mean residual life is great Interest in the reliability and survival analysis. In this paper, a new test statistic for testing whether or not the mean residual life changes its trend Is developed. It is assumed that neither the change point nor the proportion at which the trend change occurs is known. The asymptotic null distribution of test statistic is established and asymptotic critical values of the asymptotic null distribution is obtained. Monte Carlo simulation is used to compare the proposed test with previously known tests.

Several statistical methods are introduced 1=o analyze the accelerated failure time data. Most frequently used method is the log-linear approach with parametric assumption. Since the accelerated failure time experiments are exposed to many environmental restrictions, parametric log-linear relationship might not be working properly to analyze the resulting data. The models proposed by Buckley and James(1979) and Stute(1993) could be useful in the situation where parametric log-linear method could not be applicable. Those methods are introduced in accelerated experimental situation under the thermal acceleration and discussed through an illustrated example.

In a resent paper, Na and Kim(2000) develop a family of test statistics for testing whether or not the mean residual life changes its trend based on complete data and show that the new tests perform better than previously known tests. In this paper, we extend their tests to the randomly censored data. The asymptotic normality of the test statistics is established. Monte Carlo simulations are conducted to compare our tests with a previously known test by the power of tests.

Based on the goodness of fit approach, a new test is presented for testing exponentiality versus exponential better (worse) than used (EBU (EWU)) class of life distributions. The new test is much simpler to compute, asymptotically normal, enjoys good power and performs better than previous tests in terms of power and Pitman asymptotic efficiencies for several alternatives.

We consider a life testing experiment in which several two-component shared parallel systems are put on test, and the test is terminated at a predesigned experiment time. In this thesis, the maximum likelihood estimators for parameters of Freund's bivariate exponential distribution under the system level life testing are obtained. Results of comparative studies based on Monte Carlo simulation are presented.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to investigate the tail behavior of the life distribution which exhibits an increasing failure rate or other positive aging effects after a certain time point. Methods: We characterize the tail behavior of the life distribution with regard to certain reliability measures such as failure rate, mean residual life and reliability function and derive several stochastic properties regarding such life distributions. Also, utilizing an L-statistic and its asymptotic normality, we propose new nonparametric testing procedures which verify if the life distribution has an increasing tail failure rate. Results: We propose the IFR-Tail (Increasing Failure Rate in Tail), DMRL-Tail (Decreasing Mean Residual Life in Tail) and NBU-Tail (New Better than Used in Tail) classes, all of which represent the tail behavior of the life distribution. And we discuss some stochastic properties of these proposed classes. Also, we develop a new nonparametric test procedure for detecting the IFR-Tail class and discuss its relative efficiency to explore the power of the test. Conclusion: The results of our research could be utilized in the study of wide range of applications including the maintenance and warranty policy of the second-hand system.

This study was performed 10 develop the accelerated life test method using Weibull-IPL(Inverse Power Law) model for mechanical components. Weibull-IPL model is concerned with determining the assurance life with confidence level and the accelerated life test time From the relation of weibull distribution factors and confidence limit, the testing times on the no number of failure acceptance criteria arc determined. The mechanical components generally represent wear and fatigue characteristics as a failure mode. IPL based on the cumulative damage theory is applied effectively the mechanical components to reduce the testing time and to achieve the accelerating test conditions. As the actual application example, accelerated life test method of agricultural tractor transmission was described. Life distribution of agricultural tractor transmission was supposed to follow Weibull distribution and life test time was calculated under the conditions of average life (MTBF) 3,000 hours and 90% confidence level for one test sample. According to IPL, because test time call be shorten in case increase test load test time could be reduced by 482 hours when we put the load 1.1 times of rated load than 0.73 times of rated load that is equivalent load calculated by load spectrum of the agricultural tractor. This time, acceleration coefficient was 11.7.

Feeder cable assembly는 정보통신용 자동차부품이다 기능을 제대로 하지 않으면 자동차의 제어와 안전에 큰 문제가 발생한다. 가속수명시험은 시험시간을 단축할 목적으로 짧은 시간에 잠재적인 고장모드와 고장을 찾기 위하여 기속조건(스트레스, 스트레인, 온도 등)에서 실험을 실시하는 것이다. 고장원인은 부품의 품질과, 고장으로 유도하는 공정, 디자인에 의해 발생하는 결함이다. 열충격은 온도차에 의하여 부품의 열팽창 정도가 다른 것에 기인한다. 열충격시험은 부품이 급격한 온도차를 견디는 능력을 실험하는 것이다. 본 연구에서는 가속시험의 coffin-manson 식을 이용하여 정상조건(최고온도 $80^{\circ}C$, 최저온도 $-40^{\circ}C$)과 가속조건(최고온도 $120^{\circ}C$, 최저온도 $-60^{\circ}C$)을 이용하여 가속계수를 계산하여 2.25 값을 얻었다. 정상조건에서 1,000 사이클 실험이 가속조건에서 444 사이클 실험만하여도 됨을 알 수 있었다. Bx 수명 식을 이용하여 가속조건에서 시료가 5개, B0.04%.10years 조건에서 747 사이클 결과를 얻었다. 정상조건에서 1,000 사이클, 가속조건에서 747 사이클 실험한 feeder cable assembly 시료 5개를 각각 네크워크 분석기를 이용하여 성능시험을 실시하고, 와이블분포의 모수분포값을 비교한 결과 가속이 잘 되었음을 알 수 있었다. 동등한 신뢰도에서 가속실험을 통하여 시험시간을 1/4 정도 단축할 수 있었다.
