The feeder cable assembly is an automotive part used for telecommunication. If it malfunctions, the control and safety of the automobile can be put at risk. ALT (Accelerated Life Testing) is a testing process for products in which they are subjected to conditions (stress, strain, temperatures, etc.) in excess of their normal service parameters in an attempt to uncover faults and potential modes of failure in a short amount of time. Failure is caused by defects in the design, process, quality, or application of the part, and these defects are the underlying causes of failure or which initiate a process leading to failure. Thermal shock occurs when a thermal gradient causes different parts of an object to expand by different amounts. Thermal shock testing is performed to determine the ability of parts and components to withstand sudden changes in temperature. In this research, the main causes of failure of the feeder cable assembly were snapping, shorting and electro-pressure resistance failure. Using the Coffin-Manson model for ALT, the normal conditions were from Tmax = $80^{\circ}C$ to Tmin = $-40^{\circ}C$, the accelerated testing conditions were from Tmax = $120^{\circ}C$ to Tmin = $-60^{\circ}C$, the AF (Acceleration Factor) was 2.25 and the testing time was reduced from 1,000 cycles to 444 cycles. Using the Bxlife test, the number of samples was 5, the required life was B0.04%.10years, in the acceleration condition, 747 cycles were obtained. After the thermal shock test under different conditions, the feeder cable assembly was examined by a network analyzer and compared with the Weibull distribution modulus parameter. The results obtained showed good results in acceleration life test mode. For the same reliability rate, the testing time was decreased by a quarter using ALT.

The aircraft gas turbine engines with the Electronic Engine Controls(EEC) had been developed to save fuel and enhance their performance in the early days, and had employed the health monitoring function in the Full Authority Digital Engine Controls(FADEC) to improve their reliability. This has led to an increasing demand for the certification technology of these controls. The design and certification issues of power supply, aircraft supplied data, failure modes, software verification/validation, and lightning requirements need to be addressed. This paper presents the design considerations and the certification techniques applied to the electronic engine controls. And it is believed that this paper will be basis to establish a requirement in Korean Airworthiness Standard.

It is known that test methods to evaluate solder joint reliability are die shock test, die shear test, 3points bending test, and thermal shock test. The present study investigated the effects of failure mode on 3 types (as-reflowed, $85^{\circ}C$/85%RH treatment, and $150^{\circ}C$/10hr aging) of solder joints for flip-chip BGA package by using various test methods. The test methods and configurations are reported in detail, i.e. die shock, die shear, 3points bending, and thermal shock test. We focus on the failure mode of solder joints under various tests. The test results indicate that die shock and die shear test method can reveal brittle fracture in flip-chip ball grid array (FCBGA) packages with higher sensitivity.

Turbine journal bearings are designed to support the weight of the rotors on a hydrodynamic oil film and to provide dynamic stability to the rotor system. The life time of journal bearings is infinite theoretically because the journal bearings are separated from the shaft journal by oil film. But poor design, assembly, operation and maintenance can cause problems to the journal bearings. The FMEA(Failure Mode and Effects Analysis) results of the journal bearings show that frequent maintenance of the journal bearings can cause failures and reduction of the bearing life. Therefore, the maintenance periods and history of the journal bearings with the bearing FMEA results are reviewed in order to establish the optimized maintenance period of the journal bearing for the nuclear power plants. Consequently it is necessary to maintain a best condition of lubrication system, reject time-based maintenance and perform the condition-based maintenance of journal bearings in order to maintain optimum condition of the journal bearing.

우주방사선이나 과도펄스(Transient Radiation) 형태의 감마 방사선이 반도체에 조사되면 소자 내부에서 짧은 시간에 다량의 전하가 생성된다. 이 전하들과 증폭된 과전류는 소자의 고장(Upset, Latchup)과 오동작을 유발시키게 되고 나아가 전자부품이 소진(Burnout)되는 직접적인 원인이 된다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 핵폭 방출 과도방사선에 대한 전자부품/장비의 내방사선관련 기초연구로 군전자부품의 감마-과도방사선에 대한 피해분석 시험을 수행하고 나아가 과도방사선 방호기술 체계구축의 필요성에 대해 논하였다. 과도펄스 방사선시험은 군용으로 분류된 반도체 칩을 대상으로 포항 전자빔가속기를 사용하였다. 핵폭발 방출 과도방사선을 모사하기 위해 감마선 변환장치를 MCNP 설계를 통해 제작하고 단일모드의 마이크로초 단위 감마펄스 방사선을 방출시켜 시험대상 칩을 부착한 시험보드에 조사하는 과정으로 실험을 진행하였다. 온라인 고속 측정장치를 통한 전자소자의 과도방사선시험에서 다양한 피해현상을 측정할 수 있었고, 열상카메라 촬영을 통하여 과열상태를 관측함으로써 피해현상의 검증과 더불어 소진현상으로의 전개 가능성을 확인하였다.

소수력 계획 시 개발지점에 대하여 수많은 자료와 정보 등을 필요로 하게 되는데 특히 해당지역내의 유량분포에 대한 유황자료는 개발의 판단여부를 결정케 하는 중요한 요소이다. 소수력발전소의 설비용량에 직접 관계되는 설계유량의 결정과 재해방지를 위한 유출의 예측을 가능케 하고 발전소운영 시 가동률 및 경제성에도 직접적인 영향을 미치는 중용한 요소이나 여기서 논하는 소수력개발은 하천이나 댐과 같은 유형이 아니라 일정한 유량을 확보하여 배출하기 때문에 문제는 없다. 그러나 계절별 부하에 따른 냉각수량의 변화 및 소수력 발전유량의 변동, 조위(해수면) 변화 등에 따라 달라진다. 그러므로 수위조절을 위한 수문은 이들의 변화에 따라 자동운전이 가능해야 하지만 운전시 발전정격수위를 맞출 수 있도록 수문을 조절한 다음 Turbine Governor에 의해 유량 및 수위를 제어할 수 있도록 설계하여 냉각수 순환수 계통에 영향이 미치지 않게 언제나 적정수위를 유지시킬 수 있는 운전모드로 구축하는 것이 안정이라 볼 수 있다. 소수력발전설비 및 수문의 오작동 및 고장이 발생할 때 수위가 상승하여 냉각계통에 손실수두 증가, 취수펌프의 양정고 증가와 Surge 발생 등으로 발전소의 정상 운전에 미치는 영향이 없어야 하므로 세밀한 검토가 필요하기 때문에 폐쇄시간과 수압상승 값 등 요인 분석후 설계하여야 한다. Figure A와 같이 국내 화력발전단지에서 냉각수로 사용되고 방류되는 해수는 발전소에 따라 ca.70~150 CMS로 ca.2,000~5000 kW 이상의 수력에너지(H=4m 형성 기준)를 보유하고 있으나, 현재 활용되지 못하고 그대로 해양으로 방류되고 있어 이 수력에너지의 개발 방안을 오래전부터 검토하여 왔다. 발전소 온배수의 원활한 배수를 위한 설계 낙차와 함께 남서해안의 조위변화에 따른 낙차를 이용하는 것으로 소수력 발전 방식과 조력발전 방식의 특징을 동시에 활용할 수 있다.

This study is to investigate a damage estimation of single edge notched tensile specimens as a function of acoustic emission(AE) according to the uni-directionally oriented carbon fiber/epoxy composites, CFRP In fiber reinforced composite materials, AE signals due to several types of failure mechanisms are typically observed. These are due to fiber breakage, fiber pull-out matrix cracking, delamination, and splitting or fiber bundle breaking. And these are usually discriminated on the basis of amplitude distribution, event counts, and energy related parameters. In this case, AE signals were analyzed and classified 3 regions by AE event counts, energy and amplitude for corresponding applied load. Bath-tub curve shows 3 distinct periods during the lifetime of a single-edge-notch(SEN) specimen. The characterization of AE generated from CFRP during SEN tensile test is becoming an useful tool f3r the prediction of damage failure or/and failure mode analysis.
