Reliability is the priority matter in guided weapon systems. The reliability prediction data is used during the devel opment stage as the manufacturing cost is very high and the production quantity if quite limited. At the same time it takes relatively a long period of time to acquire a reliable operation data set after deployment such that in order t o determine the operational reliability, weapons must be tested and analyzed in real operating environments. For the research, the life distributions were estimated by using actual operation data and the reliability was calculated by ap plying the method of least squares and maximum likelihood estimation. Also, the comparisons were made between pr edicted reliability and actual operational reliability. As a result, the actual reliability of each system was higher than predicted reliability and it was considered that such a difference was caused by the fact that the application of the l atest designing technology and improved parts to the guided weapon systems was not reflected on the estimation of predicted reliability. It was possible to confirm the actual operational reliability of domestic (ROK) guided weapon sy stems through this research and the methods used here will contribute to the reliability analyses for the future guide d weapon systems to be developed.

Grab cranes are used for multi-purpose when the sand and soil are deposited into harbor wharf or the undersea construction is performed. Among the components of crane grab, the wire drum and disc brake pad are key expendables and have disadvantages that lot of heat is generated and very expensive when replacing them. In this study, the thermal image analysis for the disc brake, which works with wire drum of the crane is suggested. The suggested system performs the pad thermal diagnosis through the thermal image using the characteristics that the disc and pad surface temperatures are distributed abnormally before the brake failure and the disc pad damage. Therefore, the damage by the failure can be prevented by discovering the abnormality of the machine parts before failure and the life cycle of the pad and the cost can be extended and saved by operating the crane performing constant checkup for the overload.

In recent times, there has been considerable interest in HIPS (High Impact Polystyrene) materials for their use in construction of office equipments, home electronics, housing for electronics appliances, packing containers, etc. However, these materials suffer from problems caused by fatigue fracture. Further, their strength is substantially affected by environmental conditions. Therefore, in this study, the effect of temperature was analyzed by performing a tensile test and a fatigue test. It was observed that the yield strength, the ultimate strength, and the fatigue life decreased relatively with an increase in temperature. Further, an S-N curve can be predicted by using the results of the tensile test and a micro-Vickers hardness test.

Since ceramic layers coated on machinery components inevitably experience the changes in their properties it is necessary to evaluate the characteristics of ceramic coating layers nondestructively for a reliable use of coated components and 4heir remaining life prediction. To address such a need, in the present study, an ultrasonic backward radiation technique is applied to investigate the characteristics of leaky Rayleigh surface waves propagating through the very thin TiN ceramic layers coated on AISI 1045 steel or austenitic 304 steel substrate with three different conditions of surface roughness, coating layer thickness and wear condition. In the experiments performed in the present work, the peak angle and the peak amplitude of ultrasonic backward radiation profile varied sensitively according to three specimen preparation renditions. in fact, this result demonstrates a high possibility of the ultrasonic backward radiation as an effective tool for the nondestructive characterization of the resting layers even in such a thin regime.

Turbine blades and disc, which are one of the most important rotating parts of a gas turbine engine, are required to have highly efficient performance in order to minimize the total life cycle costs. Owing to these requirements, these components are exposed to severe conditions such as extreme turbine inlet temperatures, high compression ratios, and high speeds. To evaluate the structural integrity of a turbine disc under these conditions, material modeling and finite element analysis techniques are essential; furthermore, shape optimization is necessary for determining the optimal solution. This study aims to generate 2D finite element models of an axisymmetry model and a sector one and to perform thermal-structural coupled-field analysis and contact analysis. Structurally vulnerable areas such as the disc bore and disc-blade interface region are analyzed by a parametric study. Finally, an improved design is provided based on the results, and the necessity of elaborate shape optimization is confirmed.

전자제품의 성능이 향상됨에 따라서 전자제품에 사용되는 부품의 고집적화가 필연적으로 요구되고 있으며, 고집적화 된 전자제품의 방열(heat dissipation)에 관한 문제점이 대두되고 있다. 방열은 전자기기의 성능과 수명을 유지하는데 있어서 중요한 문제 중 하나로서 방열 효과를 높이기 위해 다양한 연구 개발이 진행 중이다. 방열에 사용되는 소재로는 Cu가 있으며, 저렴한 가격과 상대적으로 높은 방열 효율을 가지는 장점이 있다. Cu는 전기 도금 증착 방법을 사용하여왔으나, 전기도금 방식으로 증착된 Cu 방열판은 제품에 열이 축적될 경우 Cu와 substrate 사이의 residual stress로 인해 박리나 뒤틀림 현상 등이 발생하여 high power를 사용하는 device의 방열 소재로 사용하기에는 개선해야 할 문제점이 있다. 이러한 문제점을 극복하기 위한 방법으로 magnetron sputter 증착 방법이 있으며, magnetron sputter은 대면적화가 용이하고, 다양한 물질의 증착이 가능한 장점으로 인해 hard coating 또는 thin film 증착과 같은 공정에 사용되고 있다. 특히 증착된 film의 특성을 조절하기 위해서 magnetron sputter에 pulse 또는 ICP (inductively coupled plasma) assisted 등을 적용하여 plasma 특성을 조절하는 방법 등에 관한 연구가 보고되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 pulsed magnetron sputtering 방식을 이용하여 증착된 Cu film 특성 변화를 확인하였다. 다양한 pulsing frequency와 pulsing duty ratio 조건에서, Si substrate 위에 증착된 Cu film과의 residual stress 변화를 측정하였다. Pulse duty ratio가 90% 에서 60%로 감소함에 따라서 Cu film의 residual stress가 감소하였고, pulsing frequency가 증가함에 따라 Cu film의 residual stress가 감소하는 것을 확인하였다. 증착 조건에 따른 plasma의 특성 분석을 위하여 oscilloscope를 이용하여 voltage와 current를 측정하였고, Plasma Sampling Mass spectrometer 를 이용하여 ion energy의 변화를 측정하였다. 이를 통해 plasma 특성 변화가 증착된 Cu film에 미치는 영향과 residual stress의 변화에 대한 연관성에 대하여 확인할 수 있었다.

The most critical rotating parts of a gas turbine engine are turbine blades and disc, given that they must operate under severe conditions such as high turbine inlet temperature, high speeds, and high compression ratios. Owing to theses operating conditions and high rotational speed energy, some failures caused by turbine disks and blades are categorized into catastrophic and critical, respectively. To maximize the margin of structural integrity, we aim to optimize the vulnerable area of disc-blade interface region. Then, to check the robustness of the obtained optimized solution, we evaluated structural reliability under uncertainties such as dimensional tolerance and fatigue life variant. The results highlighted the necessity for and limitations of optimization which is one of deterministic methods, and pointed out the requirement for introducing reliability-based design optimization which is one of stochastic methods. Thermal-structural coupled-filed analysis and contact analysis are performed for them.

The FPGA is used to the high speed digital satellite communication on the Digital Signal Process Unit of the next generation GEO communication satellite. The high capacity FPGA has the high power dissipation and it is difficult to satisfy the derating requirement of temperature. This matter is the major factor to degrade the equipment life and reliability. The thermal control at the equipment level has been worked through thermal conduction in the space environment. The FPGA of CCGA or BGA package type was mounted on printed circuit board, but the PCB has low efficient to the thermal control. For the FPGA heat dissipation, the heat sink was applied between part lid and housing of equipment and the performance of heat sink was confirmed via thermal vacuum test under the condition of space qualification level. The FPGA of high power dissipation has been difficult to apply for space application, but FPGA with heat sink could be used to space application with the derating temperature margin.
