In this study, a series of accelerated creep tests (SIM) was carried out on geosynthetic strip reinforcements with folding grooves having different tensile strengths (15 kN, 25 kN, 35 kN, 50 kN, 70 kN, and 90 kN) to analyze creep characteristics and to assess creep reduction factors. In particular, long-term creep tests were conducted on geosynthetic strip reinforcements with 25 kN tensile strength, which is widely used, to compare and analyze the accelerated creep test results. As a result, the creep reduction factor increased with an increasing design life of reinforcement. In addition, geosynthetic strip reinforcement using the same material and manufacturing method showed similar creep reduction factors at the same design life for different tensile strengths. When both long-term and accelerated creep test data were used, the creep reduction factors from the accelerated test were estimated to be 5.9%~7.1% less than those from the long-term creep test for the design life ranging from 50 to 100 years.

The purpose of a phase I clinical trial is to determine the maximum tolerated dose(MTD) of a new drug. This paper investigates the performance of standard method, continual reassessment method and accelerated titration designs in phase I clinical trials. Especially we study the precision and safety at the MTD of these methods. We utilize hyperbolic tangent function and power function to define dose-toxicity model. For each method, expected toxicity rate at MTD is computed and compared with target toxicity probability. We also suggest some modifications of these methods and show some improvements in performance.

The dynamic force estimation and strength design of KALES(Korea Accelerated Loading and Environmental Simulator) are studied. The KALES is continuously rotating the test track and subjected to the dynamic or impact forces during operation since the track is composed of straight and curved line. To estimate the dynamic equation for the model car which was already made is derived with analytical and experimental techniques. Using similarity relationships between the model car and KALES, the dynamic force and stability properties for KALES can be predicted. The stress analysis and fatigue life estimation of KALES is also estimated with the calculated dynamic load. From the stress analysis and fatigue life estimation results, it was found that the design of KALES is safe.

Recent trend of installation of highly efficient and high Power engine in vehicles has increased complaints about exterior noise being made while travelling. To examine the sources of outer noise of vehicles controlled by regulations. using lead wrapping method. Pass-by noise tests have been conducted as opening each defined source one by one. The sources of outer noise have been found and the rate of noise contribution has been produced. The results of the tests have been applied to put noise-reducing objects in the order, and counter plans effective to reduce noise have been devised.

1975년 이후로 태양전지 평가 실험실과 제조업체들이 직접적으로 많은 노력을 하여 태양전지 모듈에 대한 가속 스트레스 평가를 개발하고 평가하였다. 이 노력들은 이미 알려진 불량 메커니즘을 토대로 모듈 디자인의 민감한 취약 부분을 발견하기 위한 평가를 목적으로 평가 순서/방법 표준화에 많은 기여를 하였다. 이러한 평가 순서/방법은 국가와 국제 모듈 규격 표준화에 적용되었다. 그리고, 실제 외부에서 설치되어 한 번도 문제가 발생되지 않은 평가들은 중간에 제거 되기도 하였다. 가장 대표적인 예로 twist test는 모듈 설치 후 발생되는 불량에 대한 평가이지만, 실제로 불량은 한번도 발견되지 않았다. 덧붙여서, 표준 평가들은 많은 특화된 가속평가를 사용하게 되는데, 이는 문제점들을 조사하거나 특정 모듈 디자인에 대한 잠재적인 불량을 조사하기 위함이다. 실제 수명예측을 위한 가속평가는 가속 인자의 지식이 반드시 필요하지만, 태양전지 분야에서는 문헌이 많이 부족하다. 많은 연구자들이 85/85 DH 평가시간과 습한 지역에서 수년 간 사용된 모듈과의 상관관계를 만들기 위해 시도 하였다. 그리고 이 모델은 DH 평가 표준시간인 1,000시간으로 정의하는데 많은 영향을 미치기도 했다. 하지만, 이 모델은 단지 단일 모드 불량일 경우에만 적용이 되는 것이다. 다른 불량에 대한 가속인자들은 여전히 잘 알려져 있지 않다. 따라서, 모듈이 비록 표준 규격시험을 통과했다고 하더라도 제품이 특정 기간 동안 전력을 생산할 수 있다고 말할 수 없다. 또한, 이 표준평가가 모든 불량 메커니즘에 대한 평가가 되지 않기 때문에 제품의 수명을 결정하는데 사용될 수 없다.

일반적으로 제어시스템은 독립된 기능을 갖는 전자제어모듈들로 구성되고, 제어시스템의 보수에 있어서 최소 교체단위가 전자제어모듈이기 때문에 제어시스템의 신뢰성을 평가하는 것은 전자제어모듈의 신뢰성을 평가하는 것으로부턴 출발한다. 전자모듈의 신뢰성을 평가할 때 주로 사용하는 평가척도는 MTBF이고, 제조업체에서는 일반적으로 MIL-HDBK-217의 수명예측방법을 이용하여 산출한 MTBF를 제시하고 있다. 하지만 현장의 구매자들은 물론 전자모듈을 개발하는 엔지니어도 MIL-HDBK-217 데이터를 이용한 계산만으로 산출한 MTBF가 실제 사용할 때와 큰 차이가 없는지 확인하기를 원한다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 요구에 따라서 MIL-HDBK-217의 수명예측 방법을 이용하여 예측한 수명을 가속수명시험을 통하여 보증하는 방법을 제시하고, 제시한 방법을 실제 국내에서 제작한 2종류의 전자제어모듈에 적용한 사례를 기술하였다. 국내에서 제작한 2종류의 전자제어모듈에 대하여 본 논문에서 제시한 보증시험방법에 따라서 시험한 결과 신뢰수준 60%에서 예측 수명을 보증할 수 있었고, 보증시험 후에 수명을 추정하기 위하여 추가적으로 장시간 시험하여 수명을 추정한 결과 추정된 수명이 MIL-HDBK-217을 이용하여 예측된 수명에 비하여 2.86∼3.40배길게 나타났다.

Steel companies are applying Ni-B or Ni-Co alloy plating to protect the surface of Continuous casting mold, and they are using saccharin polish which causes crack on plating layer due to sulfur in saccharin. It is considered that the Ni-S compound causes the cracking and additional tensile stresses. The Ni-Mn-B ternary alloy plating was developed for suppression of crack by forming Mn-S compound before Ni-S compound is formed, but there were no domestic or international standard on the Ni-Mn-B alloy plating. Therefore, reliability evaluation standard was established to evaluate the newly developed Ni-Mn-B plating. To develop accelerating life testing method, FMEA(Failure Mode & Effective analysis) was used to analyze the cause of the main failure in plating. The Ni-Mn-B reliability standard included accelerating life test method, and it was categorized by the fundamental performance test, environment test, and accelerated life test, and was designed to guarantee 1 000 hours of B10 life with 80 % reliable level.

To verify the quality of bubbles during the use of quartz glass crucibles (QC), an appropriate accelerated testing method was proposed. The bubble state of discarded waste crucibles obtained from actual Czochralski (Cz) processes was analyzed, and optimal heat treatment conditions were suggested by varying temperature, pressure, and time using the QC test piece. By subjecting the samples to heat treatment at 1450℃, 0.4 Torr, and 40 hours, it was possible to control the bubble size and density to a similar level as those generated in the actual Cz process. In particular, by selecting a relatively lower pressure of 0.4 Torr compared to the typical range of 10~20 Torr applied in the Cz process, the time required for accelerated bubble formation testing could be reduced. However, it was determined that increasing the heat treatment temperature to 1550℃ led to the phenomenon of Ostwald ripening, resulting in larger bubbles and a rapid decrease in density. Therefore, it was concluded that it was not a suitable condition for the desired b ake test.
