The concrete structures possessing good structural integrity can face durability problems due to deteriorations of concrete structures under various environmental conditions. The durability problems weaken the structural integrity in the long run. Especially, the excessive use of sea sand causes serious reinforcement corrosion and carbonation in concrete structures. An accelerated test is often used to predict deterioration as a qualitative measure, but without long term exposure test results or understanding of the relationship between the accelerated test and the long term exposure test, the accelerated test result alone can not be used effectively as a quantitative measure. In this paper, a methodology is proposed to predict the long term deteriorations, based on the result of the short-term accelerated test, of concrete containing different contents of chloride ions. Then, the correlation between two results on the steel corrosion ratio and the carbonation depth is analyzed for concrete with different chloride contents.

Remanufacturing is one of the most important resource recycling technology in response to resource depletion and environmental pollution. Domestic remanufacturing industry don't invigorate compared to other advanced countries because of low price and reliability of remanufactured product. In this study, remanufactured hydraulic pump and solenoid valve were evaluated durability by accelerated life test. In order that standard remanufacturing process was developed by core analysis and failure mode and effect analysis. And cores were remanufactured by standard remanufacturing process. For accelerated life test, the evaluation item and criteria were deduced by results of FMEA, reliability standards and enterprise interior criteria. To evaluate durability of remanufactured product, the remanufactured hydraulic pump and solenoid valve were evaluated performance after accelerated life test and the results were satisfied with criteria. This study showed that remanufactured products have a similar level of durability to new products by definition of remanufacturing.

The fuel cell vehicle is a type of hydrogen vehicle which uses a fuel cell to produce electricity, powering its on-board electric motor. The fuel cell vehicle driving principle is completely different from the internal combustion engine vehicle. In order to ensure the durable quality of the fuel cell vehicle, durability test mode considering the characteristics of the fuel cell must be developed. In this study, we derived the durability test mode profile through collecting and analyzing fuel cell vehicle driving data. Then, the accelerated durability test mode is developed by adding degradation conditions and is experimentally validated to have an acceleration factor of 5~6.

The insulation performance of the insulation currently used in building structures is reflected only during design based on initial performance and the reduction in heat insulation performance due to the degradation of long-term durability is not reflected. This study reviewed the degradation of heat insulation performance due to the durability degradation of insulating materials through the accelerated durability test. The study findings showed that the foamed polystyrene insulation bead method did not show performance degradation due to aging in the standard environmental condition and laboratory accelerated test condition but the performance is degraded in the freeze-thaw test condition. On the other hand, in the case of the extrusion method, the degradation of the heat insulation performance was less in the freeze-thaw test condition, but the rapid performance degradation was caused by the release of the internal gas at the beginning of aging. In addition, the hard polyurethane foam insulation showed better initial insulation performance than other insulation materials, but the performance was found to be degraded somewhat under laboratory accelerated test conditions and freeze-thaw test conditions.

In the product development process, the reliability of the product can be secured through durability tests. However, since the durability test method is expensive and time consuming, a method to save time and money by utilizing virtual product development (VPD) is required. However, research on the accuracy of the results of virtual product development is required. In this paper, an accelerated durability test was designed and conducted using a planetary gear decelerator. And an analysis model under the same conditions was created and simulated. To correlate the results of the experiment with the results of the analytical model, created a model that can discriminate the wear region using one of the data mining methods, the k-means algorithm method and HSV (Hue, Saturation, Value). The wear area is compared by counting the number of pixels defined as wear through a discrimination model. A similar ratio was calculated by comparing the pixel ratio of the area determined as wear in the entire area. It showed a similar ratio of about 70%, and it is necessary to improve the discrimination method.

An accelerated life test (ALT) is used to estimate the reliability of machinery parts and system with a design specification as soon as possible. However, accelerated life test results with simple and severe conditions are inconsistent with physical phenomena in real service condition. Therefore, to assure the safety of the machinery system, it is necessary to establish the appropriate test condition of the ALT of machinery element. In this study, fatigue analysis of the spur gear as a part of the gear box system in the rolling stock was performed. Moreover, based on the results, appropriate test condition of the ALT is developed using both the probabilistic model of the linear damage rule and accelerated durability analysis simulation.

This paper presents the durability characteristics of commercially available CFRP rebars under various environmental conditions. Two types of GFRP rebars were tested by using an accelerated aging method. A total of 264 rebar specimens were conditioned up to 132 days in the moisture, chloride. alkaline, and freeze-thaw environmental conditions. The durability characteristics of conditioned rebars were obtained by comparing the tensile strength, horizontal shear strength, and elastic modulus between the unconditioned and conditioned GFRP rebars. The test results indicated that the mechanical properties of GFRP were significantly reduced after conditioning. Long-term degradation of GFRP rebars was also estimated using the results of a short-term durability test.

Automatic transmission(A/T) is one of a car's core components. The durability of A/T has an effect on the durability of the car. The input shaft of A/T passes the power directly from the engine, so the durability of the input shaft for A/T is likewise vital. In this study, the test method of the input shaft is considered and the load spectrum of A/T is analyzed to secure durability of the input shaft. The shape parameter, T-N curve of the input shaft torsional fatigue test are obtained for life evaluation and analysis. Results of this study can be used to get the basic background of the durability test for A/T components.
