High-grade gray cast iron (HCI350) was prepared by adding Cr, Mo and Cu to the gray cast iron (GC300). Their microstructure, mechanical properties and fatigue strength were studied. Cast iron was made from round bar and plate-type castings, and was cut and polished to measure the percentage of each microstructure. The size of flake graphite decreased due to additives, while the structure of high density pearlite increased in volume percentage improving the tensile strength and fatigue strength. Based on the fatigue life data obtained from the fatigue test results, the probability - stress - life (P-S-N) curve was calculated using the 2-parameter Weibull distribution to which the maximum likelihood method was applied. The P-S-N curve showed that the fatigue strength of HCI350 was significantly improved and the dispersion of life data was lower than that of GC300. However, the fatigue life according to fatigue stress alleviation increased further. Data for reliability life design was presented by quantitatively showing the allowable stress value for the required life cycle number using the calculated P-S-N curve.

Due to the large scale application of software systems, software reliability plays an important role in software developments. In this paper, a software reliability growth model (SRGM) is proposed for testing time. The testing time on the right is truncated in this model. The intensity function, mean-value function, reliability of the software, estimation of parameters and the special applications of Pareto NHPP model are discussed. This paper, a numerical example of applying using time between failures and parameter estimation using maximum likelihood estimation method, after the efficiency of the data through trend analysis model selection, depended on difference between predictions and actual values, were efficient using the mean square error and $R_{SQ}$.

In order to evaluate variation of fatigue life of mechanical components including engineering plastics, it is important to estimate probabilistic strain-life curves to accurately define the variation of fatigue characteristics. This paper intends to provide new assessment of P-$\varepsilon$-N (probabilistic strain-life curves) for considering the variation of fatigue characteristics in polyacetal. The fatigue strain controlled tests were conducted under constant 50% humidity and room temperature condition by a universal testing machine at strain ratio, R=0. A practical procedure is introduced to evaluate probabilistic strain-life curves. Three probabilistic distributions were used for generating P-$\varepsilon$-N curves such as normal, 2-parameter and 3-parameter Weibull. In this study, 3-parameter Weibull distribution was found to be most appropriate among assumed distributions when the probability distributions of the fatigue characteristic were examined using chi-square and Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. The more appropriate P-$\varepsilon$-N curves for these materials are generated by the proposed method considering 3-parameter Weibull distribution.

In this paper, we propose a new energy-efficient routing algorithm for sensor networks that selects a least energy consuming path among the paths formed by node with highest remaining energy and provides long network lifetime and uniform energy consumption by nodes. The pair distribution of the energy consumption over all the possible routes to the base station is one of the design objectives. Also, an alternate route search mechanism is proposed to cope with the situation in which no routing information is available due to lack of remaining energy of the neighboring nodes. Simulation results show that our algorithm extends the network lifetime and enhances the network reliability by maintaining relatively uniform remaining energy distribution among sensor nodes.

The characteristics of the parameters for the probability distribution of fatigue crack growth life, using the non-Gaussian random process simulation method is investigated. In this paper, the material resistance to fatigue crack growth is treated as a spatial random process, which varies randomly on the crack surface. Using the previous experimental data, the crack length equals the number of cycle curves that are simulated. The results are obtained for constant stress intensity factor range conditions with stress ratios of R=0.2, three specimen thickness of 6, 12 and 18mm, and the four stress intensity level. The probability distribution function of fatigue crack growth life seems to follow the 3-parameter Wiubull,, showing a slight dependence on specimen thickness and stress intensity level. The shape parameter, $\alpha$, does not show the dependency of thickness and stress intensity level, but the scale parameter, $\beta$, and location parameter, ${\gamma}$, are decreased by increasing the specimen thickness and stress intensity level. The slope for the stress intensity level is larger than the specimen thickness.

Power capacitor has been used to compensate for the low power factor of inductive load and to reduce harmonics generated by the power conversion device with reactor. The increase of voltage and current and thermal generation are extremely hard on the life of condenser. Current will be increased, provided that voltage and frequency of condenser increase also. The increase of voltage and frequency justly extends thermal generation. Both act on insulation stress and can afford to premature fault In this paper, we measured thermal distribution of condenser with infrared rays camera in case of variance of voltage and frequency. We were assured that the increase of voltage and frequency produces high heat and exceedingly shortens the life of condenser.

저수지의 퇴사는 저수량을 감소시켜 수명을 단축시키고 저수피해를 가중시킴과 동시에 용수공급에도 지장을 초래하게 된다. 또한 자연하천에서 흐르던 유사는 댐이라는 수공구조물로 인해 흐름에 방해를 받으며, 홍수기 홍수조절을 위한 방류시 하류 하천의 하상변동에 영향을 미치게 된다. 100년을 내용수명으로 하는 다목적댐은 한번 건설되면 저수상태에서 장기간 유지관리를 필요로 하므로 저수지내 퇴사에 대한 예측은 설계 단계에서 부터 신중한 검토와 적용이 요구된다. 저수지내에서 유사의 퇴적으로 인한 하상변동은 유역내에서 유입되는 유사입자의 크기와 형상, 하천의 계절적 유량변화와 유사량 변화, 저수지의 형태와 크기, 그리고 저수지의 홍수기 방류량과 운영계획 등 상호 관련된 많은 요소에 의해 좌우된다. 따라서 합리적이고 효율적인 하천 및 저수지의 정비와 관리를 위해서는 적절한 수치모형을 이용한 저수지의 퇴사분포 예측과 퇴사량 예측이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 홍수기간 저수지로 유입되는 홍수량을 대상으로 퇴사거동에 대한 변화를 알아보기 위해 2차원 수치모형인 SMS(Surface-Water Modeling System) 모형을 사용하였으며, 모형내에 내장되어 있는 RMA-2와 SED-2D에 대한 모형의 특성 사용법 입력자료를 분석하고 대상유역에 대한 기 조사된 하천 종 횡단 자료를 토대로 지형자료를 작성하여 기본계획 단계에 있는 김천시 부항다목적댐을 대상으로 100년 빈도 홍수량 유입시 공간적 퇴사거동 현상을 모의하였으며, 유속분포 퇴사의 공간적범위를 고려하여 저수지내 구조물 위치 선정 등에 미치는 영향을 연구하였다.

회전기계에서 발생하는 진동 원인 중 약 60% 이상이 불평형(unbalance)에 의한 진동이다. 불평형은 기계의 과도한 진동을 유발시킬 뿐 아니라 베어링의 수명 단축 및 소음을 발생시킨다. 따라서, 기게의 수명을 연장시키고, 기계의 성능을 향상시키며 부드럽고 진동이 없는 운전을 위하여 평형잡이(balancing)는 절대적으로 중요하다. 불평형은 축 중심선에 대하여 회전체의 질량 분포가 비대칭이기 때문에 발생하는데 그 원인으로는 부품 자체가 비대칭에서 오는 설계 또는 제도 오차, 주물의 기포 및 용접의 불균일 등에 의한 재질상의 결함, 그리고 부품조립시 형상누적공차 등에 의한 가공.조립오차 등이 있다. ISO의 정의에 따르면 평형잡이는 회전체의 질량 분포를 조사하고 필요하다면 저널의 진동과 베어링의 작용력들이 운전속도에 대응하는 주파수에서 특정한 한계내에 있도록 보증하게 하기 위한 조정을 하는 과정이다. 불평형 상태에 대한 조사도 평형잡이로 표현된다. 그러나 수정이 필요하다고 간주된다면 수행된다. 모든 회전체는 초기 불평형(initial unbalance)이라 불리는 임의의 불평형을 가지고 출발한다. 완벽하게 평형이 잡힌 회전체를 달성하는 것이 평형잡이 작업의 목적은 아니다. 임의의 잔류 불평형(residual unbalance)은 항상 허용된다. 경제적인 이유에서 회전체는 일반적으로 요구되는 적절한 허용치보다 더 이상 평형잡이를 하지 않는다. 현장에서 현장 평형잡이를 수행하게 될 경우, 가끔 계산된 수정질량이 매우 클 경우가 있다. 이때 기게의 조건상 큰 수정질량을 부착하기가 곤란한 경우가 자주 발생한다. 작은 수정질량으로 평형잡이를 할 수 있다면 기계의 안정성 면에서 매우 유리하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 영향계수법(Influence Coefficient Method : ICM)의 기본 개념과 유전 알고리즘(Genetic Algorithm : GA)을 이용하여 회전기계의 안정성을 보장할 수 있는 허용진동 내에서의 최적 수정질량 계산법을 제시한다.

Multiple surface crack distributed randomly along a weld toe influences strongly on the fatigue crack propagation life of welded joint. It is investigated by using statistical approaches based on series of systematic experiments. From the statistical results, initial crack numbers and its locations follow the normal distribution, and the probability of initial crack depths and lengths can be described well by tile Weibull distribution. These characteristics are used to calculate the fatigue crack propagation life, in which the mechanisms of mutual interaction and coalescence of the multiple cracks are considered as well as the Mk-factors obtained from a parametric study on the crack depths and lengths. The automatic calculation is achieved by the NESUSS, where the parameters such as the number, location and size of the cracks are all treated as random variables. The random variables are dealt through the Monte-Carlo simulation with sampling random numbers of 2,000. The simulation results show that the multiple cracks lead to much shorter crack propagation life compared with those in single crack situation. The sum of the simulation and tile fatigue crack initiation life derived by the notch strain approach agrees well with the experiments.
