폴리머 애자는 여러 가지의 외부환경에 의하여 시간의 경과에 따라서 재료의 열화가 진행된다. 폴리머 애자를 평가하는 방법으로 기계적 특성, 전기적 특성, 환경적 특성 등의 평가방법이 있으나 각각의 특성평가에 있어서 국제, 국가 및 단체에 따라서 서로 다르다. 신뢰성 평가기준도 서로 달라 국내 실정에 맞는 폴리머 애자의 신뢰성 향상에 어려움이 있었다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위하여 폴리머 애자의 신뢰성 평가기준을 표준화할 필요성이 있다. 본 원고에서는 특고압 가공배전선로에 사용하는 폴리머 현수애자의 신뢰성 평가기준에 대하여 설명하였다. 장기신뢰성 평가를 위하여 다양한 외부환경을 모의하여 복합적인 스트레스를 가할 수 있는 복합가속열화설비에 대하여 설명하고 복합가속열화시험법을 결정하였다.

Although the interest in NBR has been increasing due to the recent developments of the aerospace sector, there are few reports on HNBR's aeronautical oil, particularly evaluations of the accelerated life of harsh factors. In this study, the tensile strength was adopted as a performance evaluation factor to evaluate the accelerated life of HNBR used in the aviation field. The accelerated stress factor affecting the performance-aging characteristics was defined as temperature. The acceleration stress factor was determined to be temperature, and the result of measuring the tensile strength change over time. The sample for the acceleration condition was taken out of the oven for a certain period and left at room temperature for 24 hours. The dumbbell type 3 specimens were manufactured according to the standard specified in KS M 6518 and were measured the tensile strength, a factor in accelerated life evaluations. The activation energy was 0.895, and the shape parameter was 1.152 using the Arrhenius model. The characteristic life obtained from the tensile strength of the HNBR specimen immersed in aviation oil at 20℃ was 272,256 hours; the average life was 258,965 hours, and the B10 life was 38,624 hours.

This study used HILS to test an expansion joint, which is vulnerable to the water hammer effect. The operation data for the HIL simulator was the length rate of the expansion joint by the water hammer, which was used for life prediction based on the vibration durability. For the vibration durability test, the internal pressure of the expansion joint was assumed to be a factor of the durability life, and the lifetime prediction model equation was obtained by curve fitting the lifetime data at each pressure. During the test, the major failure modes of crack and water leakage occurred on the surface of the bellows part. The lifetime prediction model typically follows an inverse power law model. The pressure is a stress factor, and the model is effective in only a specific environment. Therefore, another stress factor such as temperature will be added and considered for a mixed lifetime prediction model in the future.

Cu(In,Ga)Se2 (CIGS) 화합물은 태양광을 흡수하기에 가장 이상적인 약 1.04 eV의 에너지 금지대 폭과 높은 광흡수계수를 가지고 있으며, $450{\sim}590^{\circ}C$의 고온 공정에도 매우 안정하여 열 경화현상을 거의 보이지 않으므로 박막 태양전지로서 커다란 응용 잠재력을 갖고 있는 광흡수층 재료이다. CIGS 화합물 박막 태양전지의 효율은 연구실에서는 ~20%의 높은 효율을 보고하고 있으며, 모듈급에서도 ~13%의 효율을 보이고 있다. 그러나 CIGS 박막 태양전지를 대면적 또는 양산화에 적용하기 위해서는 20년 이상의 장기적인 수명을 보장할 수 있는 내구성을 갖추어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 CIGS 모듈의 장기적인 신뢰성을 평가하기 위해 CIGS PV 모듈을 대상으로 IEC-61646 규격을 이용하여 고온고습 시험 ($85^{\circ}C$/85% RH, 1000 h) 과 열충격 시험 ($-40^{\circ}C/140^{\circ}C$, 1000 cycles) 이 수행되었고, 두 종류의 가속 스트레스 시험 후에 모듈의 성능 저하에 영향을 미치는 요인들이 연구되었다. 또한, 모듈의 효율 저하의 원인을 규명하기 위해 투명전극 Al-doped ZnO (AZO)와 광흡수층 CIGS를 대상으로 고장분석을 수행하였다. AZO층과 CIGS층의 전기적 특성 분석, 결장상 분석 및 XPS 분석들을 종합하여 CIGS PV 모듈의 성능저하의 원인을 규명하였다.

In this paper, the improved power durability test system and method for an reliability analysis of SAW device is proposed and the failure mechanism through failure analysis is analyzed. As a result of the failure analysis using microscope, SEM and EDX, the failure mechanism of the SAW device is electromigration due to joule heating under high current density and high temperature condition. The electromigration makes voids and hillocks in the IDT electrode and the voids and hillocks can lead to short circuit and open circuit faults, respectively, increasing the insertion loss of an SAW filter. The accelerated life testing of the SAW filter for 450MHz CDMA application using the proposed power durability test system and method is carried out. $B_{10}$ lifetime of the SAW filter using Eyring model and Weibull distribution is estimated as about 98,500 hours.

초전도 케이블은 저손실 대용량 전력수송이 가능한 전력케이블로서 대도시의 전력 공급문제를 해결할 수 있는 환경 친화적 신개념의 전력케이블이다. 한전 전력연구원 고창전력시험센터에서는 2006년에 22.9 kV, 100 m, 50 MVA급 초전도케이블 시스템을 설치하여 초전도케이블 실용화를 위한 신뢰성 시험을 실시하고 있다. 전력케이블의 주요한 신뢰성 요인 중의 하나가 절연특성이며 초전도케이블의 절연특성은 운전온도가 액체질소 온도이므로 절연지에 수분이 고화하여 일반적인 전력케이블보다 좋은 절연특성을 보이는 것으로 알려져 있다. 초전도 케이블은 절연지와 액체질소에 의해 절연이 이루어지며 열적, 기계적, 전기적, 환경적 스트레스에 의해 열화가 발생할 수 있다. 절연층에 이러한 스트레스가 누적되면서 void가 발생하게 되고 전계집중 현상에 의해 절연성능이 저하되며 과다한 열화의 발생시 절연파괴가 일어나게 된다. 온 발표에서는 운전온도 66.4 K에서 1.5 $U_0$ (20 kV) 전압의 30일간 연속 인가 시험과 초전도 케이블의 절연열화 가속시험을 통하여 얻은 부분방전 및 정전용량의 변화 등의 절연특성 평가 결과에 대해 논의한다.

This paper considers the optimal design of accelerated life test in which the stress is linearly increased. It discusses the special case when the life distribution under constant stress follows an exponential distribution and the accelerated equation satisfies the inverse power law. It is assumed that cumulative damage is linear, that is, the remaining life of test units depends only on the current cumulative fraction failed and current stress(cumulative exposure model). The optimization criterion is the asymptotic variance of the maximum likelihood estimator of the log mean life at a design stress. The optimal increasing rate is obtained to minimize the asymptotic variance. Table of sensitivity analysis is given for the prior estimators of model parameters.

Accelerated degradation tests (ADTs) measuring failure-related degradation characteristic at the accelerated condition are widely used to assess the reliability of highly reliable products. Often, however, little degradation could be observed even in single-stress ADTs due to the high reliability of test unit, and as a result poor estimate of the reliability may be obtained. ADTs with multiple stress variables can be employed to overcome such difficulties. In this paper, optimal ADT plans with two stress variables are developed assuming that the degradation characteristic follows Weibull distribution by determining the stress levels, the proportion of test units allocated to each stress level such that the asymptotic variance of the maximum likelihood estimator of the q-th quantile of the lifetime distribution at the use condition is minimized.

This paper presents accelerated life tests for Type I censoring data under probabilistic stresses. Probabilistic stress, S, is the random variable for stress influenced by test environments, test equipments, sampling devices and use conditions. The hazard rate, $\theta$ is a random variable of environments and a function of probabilistic stress. In detail, it is assumed that the hazard rate is linear function of the stress, the general stress distribution is a gamma distribution and the life distribution for the given hazard rate, $\theta$is an exponential distribution. Maximum likelihood estimators of model parameters are obtained, and the mean life in use stress condition is estimated. A hypothetical example is given to show its applicability.

This paper deals with two economic optimal designs of constant-stress accelerated life test(ALT) where failure distribution follows one of location-scale family, i. e., exponential, Weibull, and lognormal distributions which have been ones of the popular choices of failure distributions. Two optimization criteria to develop ALT plans are the statistical efficiency per unit expected cost which consists of the fixed test cost, cost being proportional to the number of test units, and variable test cost depending on test period and stress level, and the expected loss which combines Taguchi's quadratic loss function and expected test cost. Optimum plan determines the low stress level, test units allocated to each stress, and censoring times at two stress levels under Type I censoring. The proposed ALT plans are illustrated with a numerical example and sensitivity analyses are conducted to study effects of pre-estimates of design parameters.
