An accelerated life test (ALT) is a test method that forces components to fail more quickly than they would under use conditions by applying higher overstresses. When two or more accelerating stresses are involved in an ALT, an interaction effect may occur. In previous studies, mostly ALTs without considering an interaction of accelerated stresses and accelerated life models were proposed. The life data obtained are extrapolated using a life-stress relationship to estimate the life distribution at use conditions. We use the general log-linear relationship to model the dependence of life in the Weibull distribution on stress. Therefore, this study suggests the acceleration factor model between the lives at use conditions and accelerated conditions by using mechanical component life data considering an interaction effect. Further, the accelerated life test method and acceleration factor model proposed in this paper will be the basis for adopting an accelerated life test with accelerated stress interactions.

Acceleration amplification factors, which are variables used in the seismic design of power facilities installed inside substation structures, are presented in the seismic design standards of the United States (US), Japan, and Korea. Unlike the coefficients presented in the design standards of the US and Japan, those presented in domestic design standards can be obtained only by performing dynamic analysis when the substation structure has more than four floors. Because most substation structures in Korea have 4-5 stories, the existing acceleration amplification factor is insufficient to be applied to actual substation structures. To suggest an acceleration amplification factor suitable for domestic substation structure types, the acceleration amplification factor was evaluated for seven representative substation structures. The acceleration amplification factors were evaluated by constructing in-structure response spectra based on a study of far-field and near-fault earthquakes. In general, the acceleration amplification coefficients α_J and α_A according to the US and Japan seismic design criteria tend to be overestimated compared with the acceleration amplification factors obtained through dynamic analysis based on the study of near-fault and far-field earthquakes.

The mass storage of data and the importance of storage capacity lately has emerged. In this paper, we suggest the new method which estimate life cycle from acceleration life test about 2.5 inch hard disk driver as mass storage, which minimize the difference between real market annual failure rate and estimated failure rate. we obtain market transfer capacity per hours from returned 2.5inch hard disk drives about 309 numbers and accelerating transfer capacity per hours from acceleration life test. we calculate acceleration factor about duty cycle and estimate annual failure rate from failure rate and acceleration factors: temperature acceleration factor, duty cycle acceleration factor, the transfer capacity per hour represent the 93.4 % of user is 5.8 GB/hour, the transfer capacity per hour from acceleration life test is 81.4 GB/hour. the acceleration factor of duty cycle is 14.1. annual failure rate is stabilized at market one year after, annual failure rate is between 0.3 and 0.378. estimated annual failure rate is 0.4, so it is matched at 75~94 % between estimate annual failure rate and market annual failure rate. This study influence the estimate method of annual failure rate by the result of acceleration life cycle of manufacture.

The use of a concrete track is gradually growing in urban and high-speed railways in many part of the world. The resilient pad, which is essentially when concrete tracks are used, plays the important role of relieving the impact caused by train loads. The simple fatigue test[1] to estimate the variable stiffness of resilient pads is usually performed, but it differs depending on the practical conditions of different railways. In this study, the static stiffness levels of used resilient pads according to passing tonnages levels were measured in laboratory tests. Also, the simple fatigue test and the multi-stress accelerated degradation test for new resilient pads were performed in a laboratory. The static stiffness of the used pad was compared with the results of tests of usage times and cycles. The results of the comparison showed that the variable static stiffness levels of the used pad were similar to results of the multi-stress accelerated degradation test considering the fatigue and heat load. With a T-NT equation related to the degree of the multi-stress accelerated degradation, a model of multi-stress accelerated degradation for a resilient pad was devised. It was found through this effort that the total acceleration factor was approximately 2.62. Finally, this study proposes an equation for a multi-stress accelerated degradation model for polyurethane resilient pads.

진공청소기 제품의 시장불량을 조사한 결과 모터의 불량이 전체 불량 중 많은 부분을 차지하고 있으며 조금씩 증가추세를 보이고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 그러므로, 본 연구에서는 진공청소기 모터의 출하 전, 불량품 검출력을 향상시킬 수 있는 가속시험법을 개발하고자 하였다. 또한, 가속시험을 통해 사업부의 신뢰성시험 납기 단축 및 시험비용 절감 뿐아니라 모터에 대한 가속시험 기술력 확보를 목적으로 수행하였다. 가속수명시험 시 스트레스인자는 모터의 브러쉬 마모 가속을 위해 정격보다 높은 전압을 인가하였다. 가속모형으로는 전압스트레스를 인가하는 경우 일반적으로 사용되는 역자승(Inverse Power) 모형을 사용하였다. 가속시험 결과 정격의 120% 전압에서 가속계수 4.3이 얻어졌다. 이는 수출 모델의 경우 현재의 시험시간 42일을 10 일로 단축하여 76%의 시험시간이 절감되어 시험 가능 횟수가 4배로 증가되는 결과를 얻었다. 추가적으로 다양한 On/Off 시간 변환 시험을 실시하였으나 현시험법과의 고장 모드 (브러쉬 마모로 인한 회전정지) 및 고장유형이 일치하지 않음을 알 수 있었다. 이 결과는 On/Off 시간변환을 통한 가혹시험의 경우 주의를 필요로 함을 나타낸다.

Materials exposed to outside will deteriorate due to various weathering factors such as sunlight, heat, temperature, humidity and so on. Therefore, predicting speed of degradation and life time is a very important issue. This research uses retro-reflective sheets with white and green which are most commonly used colors to conduct the outdoor exposure test and acceleration test of xenon arc in Arizona state in the United States, Chennai in India, Sanary in France and Seosan in Korea to measure the reflective performance of retro-reflection. The accelerated factor was obtained by using regression analysis through reflective values obtained from the acceleration test of xenon arc from Seosan area. Also, by using solar uv program, the accelerated factor of various climate regions were obtained and it was confirmed that the accelerated factor of Senary was 1.04, Arizona 1.82, Chennai 1.92 times higher than that of Seosan.

반도체 칩과 패키지는 wire로 연결되는데, 이 때 반도체의 용도에 따라 다양한 wire와 pad의 조합이 사용되며, 이 두 개의 다른 금속물질 결합부위는 IMC(Inter Metallic Compound)를 형성하게 된다. 그러나, 결함 및 오염 등에 의하여 인접재료의 원자들이 이동하는 확산(Diffusion)이 발생하게 되어 IMC가 성장하고, 두 개의 금속물질간의 확산율은 상호 다르며, 확산율은 온도에 따른 함수가 된다. Au wire와 Ag pad를 이용하여 제조한 IR 수신모듈를 대상으로 3가지 고온조건에서 가속수명시험을 실시하였고, 각 온도별 수명분포를 바탕으로 가속계수와 활성화에너지 도출 및 정상온도에서의 수명도 예측할 수 있었다.

An accelerometer-based system was designed and constructed for drag measurement in a shock tunnel. Drag coefficient of a conical model was measured under a Mach 6 flow condition. A simple and intuitive calibration method was presented to compensate for the friction force of the drag measurement system, and the results of the measurement were compared with computational fluid dynamics in which the simple conical model was analyzed. The influence of drag measurement interference by supports of various shapes was identified and the design was presented to minimize. The drag coefficient measurement using the modified support showed that the error of the drag coefficient by the support was decreased.

Differential Vibrating Accelerometer(DVA) is a small and accurate resonant device to sense the change in natural frequency in presence of acceleration input. Both mathematical modeling for the electromechanical dynamics and experimental investigation on the structural characteristics are necessary for effective designs of precision controller and high Q-factor structure. In this paper, electromechanical modeling of the resonator of DVA, electrode module, and pre-amplifier is presented. The presented method is experimentally verified by measuring the resonance frequency, effective mass, effective stiffness and Q-factor. The direct comparison of the calculated displacement and the actual pre-amplifier of DVA also indicates the effectiveness of this study.
