This paper addresses an intelligent robot control system using an off-line programming to teach a precise assembly task of electronic components in a flexible way. The investigated task consists of three job: heat caulking test, soldering on a circuit board, and checking of soldering defects on the back cover of a camera. This study investigates the remodelling of the most complicated cell in terms of the accuracy and fault rate among the twelve cells in a camera back-cover assembly line. We have attempted to enhance back-cover assembly line. We have attempted to enhance soldering quality, to add task flexibility, to reduce failure rate, and to increase product reliability. This study modifies the cell structure, and improves the soldering condition. The developed all system implements the real-time control of assembly with vision data, and realized an easier task teaching on off-line programming.

The purpose of this work is to develop of a press forming process for mobile phone battery cover as an alternative to the current manufacturing process by laser welding. This press forming process consists of a combination of bending, side pressing and side bending operations. The dimensional error for each process was investigated by finite element(FE) analysis and the Taguchi optimization method. The spreading of the cover width in the side pressing process was adjusted by modifying the blank shape with a notch. The over-bending method was adopted to compensate the spring-back which occurs after bending. Forming experiments were performed to verify the reliability of the developed press forming process. In addition, the strength of the product was evaluated to verify the suitability of the battery cover manufactured with this new press forming process. The results of the forming experiments indicate that the dimensional accuracy of the battery cover is within the required tolerance. The strength of the battery cover was evaluated to 547N which is larger than required strength of 400N.

Low carbon steel is usually used as the outer panel with low base metal resistance compared to the inner reinforced panel made with high strength steel, which makes it difficult to form a robust nugget. To overcome welding problems of a dissimilar three-sheet combination made of SGACEN, DP980 and CP1180, a cover plate was inserted between the upper electrode and SGACEN. The quality of the nugget was analyzed by comparing the welding signals and cross sectional images under maximum heat input both with and without the cover plate. To analyze the mechanical of weld properties, a hardness test analysis was conducted. To enhance the reliability of experimental results, temperature distributions were obtained using a simulation program. The method of inserting a cover plate led to a change in the heat input, which induced a larger nugget size between SGACEN and DP980.

Reliability tests should be designed to verify whether reliability requirements are satisfied or not effectively and efficiently. The portion of reliability requirements that a reliability test scheme composed of different types of tests can cover is defined as test coverage in software engineering. For the cases of hardwares, to be effective, a reliability test scheme should enhance the test coverage. This study is to develop an evaluation method of test coverage for a reliability test scheme proposed for new products. Case studies are also given.

The reliability of reinforced concrete structures is frequently compromised by the deterioration caused by reinforcement corrosion. Evaluating the effect caused by reinforcement corrosion on structural behaviour of corrosion damaged concrete structures is essential for effective and reliable infrastructure management. In lifecycle management of corrosion affected reinforced concrete structures, it is difficult to correctly assess the lifecycle performance due to the uncertainties associated with structural resistance deterioration. This paper presents a stochastic deterioration modelling approach to evaluate the performance deterioration of corroded concrete structures during their service life. The flexural strength deterioration is analytically predicted on the basis of bond strength evolution caused by reinforcement corrosion, which is examined by the experimental and field data available. An assessment criterion is defined to evaluate the flexural strength deterioration for the time-dependent reliability analysis. The results from the worked examples show that the proposed approach is capable of evaluating the structural reliability of corrosion damaged concrete structures.

Due to the excellent durability of Timing Chain, it has been widely used for vehicle engine system. Unlike the timing belt, since the timing chain is operated with the metallic sprocket, the lubrication system is absolutely needed to get this system start. As frequently met at the field, the lubricant has a strong tendency to leak out from the engine due to its severe operating environment. In this paper, results of investigation for thermal movement of aluminum chain cover were described to maximize the sealing ability which is desperately needed at the development stage of engine. Based on these results, some ideas for reproducing the leakage phenomenon and solving methods were proposed.

The measure of common-mode current on a cable can be closely correlate to the radiated emissions from the cable. This paper describes that to use the conducted emissions measurement method for calculating radiated emissions and compares them the measured radiated measurement results. For that the LISN which cover the radiated emissions frequency was developed.

The area of this study will cover the location-wise seismic response variation of an electrical cabinet in nuclear power point (NPP) based on classical reliability analysis. The location-based seismic ground motion (GM) selection is carried out with the help of probabilistic seismic hazard analysis using PSHRisktool, where the variation of reliability analysis can be understood from the relation between the reliability index and intensity measure. Two different approaches such as the first-order second moment method (FOSM) and Monte Carlo Simulation (MCS) are helped to evaluate and compare the reliability assessment of the cabinet. The cabinet is modeled with material uncertainty utilizing Steel01 as the material model and the fiber section modeling approach is considered to characterize the section's nonlinear reaction behavior. To verify the modal frequency, this study compares the FEM result with recorded data using Least-Squares Complex Exponential (LSCE) method from the impact hammer test. In spite of a few investigations, the main novelty of this study is to introduce the reader to check and compare the seismic reliability assessment variation in different seismic locations and for different earthquake levels. Alongside, the betterment can be found by comparing the result between two considered reliability estimation methods.

We propose a method for improving the reliability of a solar cell by applying a fluorinated surface coating to protect the cell from the outdoor environment using an atmospheric pressure plasma (APP) treatment. An APP source is operated by radio frequency (RF) power, Ar gas, and $O_2gas$. APP treatment can remove organic contaminants from the surface and improve other surface properties such as the surface free energy. We determined the optimal APP parameters to maximize the surface free energy by using the dyne pen test. Then we used the scratch test in order to confirm the correlation between the APP parameters and the surface properties by measuring the surface free energy and adhesive characteristics of the coating. Consequently, an increase in the surface free energy of the cover glass caused an improvement in the adhesion between the coating layer and the cover glass. After treatment, adhesion between the coating and cover glass was improved by 35%.

In order to distribute machinery to European Union, it is mandatory to get CE marking to ensure the machinery is safe and reliable. The EHSR(Essential Health and Safety Requirements) of the EC Machinery Directive requires the machinery to be designed and manufactured to prevent from any dangerous situation. This study presents a case of CE Certification in Back Cover Nut Insert Machine and introduces an improvement method of product safety and reliability. This study also presents how to eliminate the deficiencies in design and manufacturing, and the process of applying EHSR for CE Marking.
