The simplest and the most important distribution in survival analysis is the exponential distribution. In this paper, we investigate the influence of the random censorship model on the estimation of the scale parameter of the exponential distribution. The considered random censorship models are Koziol-Green model and the generalized exponential distribution model. Two models have different meanings. Through the simulation study, the averages of the estimated values of the parameter do not show big differences, however the MSE of the estimator tends to be bigger when the supposed model is significantly different from the true model.

신뢰성 기술은 제품이 고장 없이 일정기간 사용할 수 있게 하는 기술로 시장점유율과 고객만족을 높이는 효과적이고 전략적인 필수 요소이다. 검사시점의 적합성에 대한 평가가 아닌 제품 및 시스템의 설계에서부터 폐기까지의 제품수명주기에 대한 신뢰성 평가를 다루는 제품의 신뢰성인증과 신뢰성경영시스템 인증 확보가 시급한 과제이다. 이를 위한 제품 수명의 평균과 분산을 효과적으로 관리할 수 있는 신뢰성 식스시그마 기술개발과 확보가 중요 현안과제이다. 정규분포를 가정한 대부분의 품질경영시스템에서의 식스시그마 접근법은 비정규 분포를 따르는 신뢰성특성과 실험계획기법 등을 고려해야 하는 신뢰성 식스시그마에서의 적용의 한계가 많다. 본 연구에서는 품질혁신 방법론인 식스시그마 기법을 토대로 신뢰성경영시스템에서 맞는 식스시그마 구축의 방향성을 제시하고자 한다.

Procedures are presented for influence of shot peening on fatigue strength, fatigue life and effects of shot peening are discussed from experiments were taken between shot peened and unpeened SPS5, SM45C specimens. After the residual stress on shot peened specimens was measured by X-ray diffractometer, rotating bending fatigue tests were carried out. In addition, the compressive residual stress profile was obtained by the superposition method of three stresses which is based on Al-Obaid's equation. Predicted fatigue life considering residual stress profile which was obtained by the Al-Obaid's equation and another predicted fatigue life considering residual stress profile which was measured in test were compared. For the purpose of predicting fatigue life, Morrow's equation considering the residual stress and mean stress was used.

Helical gear system is utilized to transmit motion between parallel shafts. The axial thrust loads on the shafts are existed. On each of the support shafts, at least one of the bearings should be able to support the axial loads. The reliability and life analysis are based on the two-parameter Weibull distribution lives of the component gears and bearings. The computer calculates the system lives and dynamic capacities of the components and their system. The system life is defined as the life of the component or the helical gear system at an output torque at which the probability of survival is ninety percent.

This paper considers the design of life test sampling plans based on Type II censored accelerated life tests. The lifetime distribution of products is assumed to be exponential. An estimator of acceleration factor between use condition stress and an accelerated level of stress higher than use condition stress is assumed to be known. The critical value for lot acceptance and the number of failure before censoring which satisfy the producer's and consumer's risk requirements are determined. The properties of the proposed life test sampling plans are investigated.

Drive systems are composed of spiral bevel gear, axle and bearings. In this paper, drive systems and the part of them are analyzed and a correlation of the factor that shows the geometry of spiral bevel gear is evaluated. The Weibull distribution of probability for survival, which caused by the load of bearings and gear teeth, would be calculated, and the life and reliability with equivalent function could be measured more specifically. The reliability methods are applied as a probability of which the gear drive systems are satisfiably operated.

The Bayesian approach to reliability acceptance sampling has several advantages over the non-Bayesian approach. For instance, the former usually requires less amount of testing time and smaller sample sizes than the latter. In this article, a Bayesian acceptance sampling plan(ASP) based on a failure-free period life test is developed under the assumption of exponential lifetime distribution, and is compared with the corresponding Bayesian hybrid ASP in terms of the expected completion time. It is found that the proposed ASP tends to have a smaller expected completion time than the Bayesian hybrid ASP as the prior assessment of the reliability of a lot becomes optimistic, and vice versa. Tables of failure-free period Bayesian ASP's are also included.

Ritchken(1985) analyzes free replacement and pro-rata warranty policies for products receiving renewable warranies. He shows that for constant failure rates pro-rata warranty policies are more attractive to risk-averse manufacturers than shorter term free replacement policies that result in the same average warranty cost. This paper considers the case when product lifetimes distributions are of phase-type. When this is so, Ritchken's performance measures can be simplified considerably. It is found, that irrespective of the pattern of failure rates, pro-rata warranty policies are preferable to free replacement policies. But the warranty period of the equivalent free replacement policy decreases and then increases, as product reliability(the average time between failures) increases.

In this study, we are to analyze the life and the main failure mode of pneumatic valves that are usually applied to the factory automation line. Pneumatic valves have complicated failure cause since they are organized as a complex of various elements. Therefore, in this paper, we analyzed the main failure mode of pneumatic valves, and then performed life test and performance test according to the international standards. On the basis of these processes, we estimated a shape parameter that is the main factor for the calculation of test time for the reliability of pneumatic valves by analyzing life distribution data.
