Chiller system plays an important role of maintaining room temperature constantly by supplying chilled water to Heating, Ventilating and Air Conditioning(HVAC)or area room cooler equipment during plant normal operation or accident condition. Chiller failures are one of the most frequently occurring equipment failures. If the types of chiller failures are analyzed and grouped thoroughly, it would be helpful to make chiller maintenance strategy at the plants. That would enhance equipment reliability of chiller in the end. In this paper, chiller failure data during three years were analyzed and categorized by specific failure code. In addition, the various proposals to improve equipment reliability of chiller were suggested such as Preventive Maintenance Optimization(PMO) strategy and performance monitoring reinforcement and so on.

For decreasing an unexpected shutdown of Nuclear Power Plants, Korea Hydro & Nuclear Power co.(KHNP) has developed Single Point Vulnerability(SPV) of NPPs since 2008. SPV is the equipment that cause reactor shutdown & turbine trip or more than 50% power rundown due to its malfunction. Newly built Nuclear Power Plants need to develop the SPV list, so performed the job which analyse equipment failure effect for SPV selection for 1 year. To develop this, Failure Mode Effect Analysis(FMEA) and Fault Tree Analysis(FTA) methods are used. As results of this analysis, about 900 equipment are selected as SPV. Thereafter those are going to be applied to Nuclear Power Plants to enhance equipment reliability.

The investigation on the verification of availability simulation for small-scale plant has been carried out. This study focuses on the availability variation induced by number of equipment and iteration with failure density function. The equipment classification of small-scale plant and failure type and the methodologies on Monte-Carlo simulation are established. The availability deviation with programs showed under Max. 1.7% for the case of normal function. This method could be used to availability evaluation of small-scale plant, but calibration of the failure density function is necessary for general application.

Maintenance is classified preventive maintenance before performing equipment failure and corrective maintenance after performing equipment failure. In preventive maintenance, we may analyze the failure data to end from beginning of equipment and allocate maintenance method and calculate maintenance cycle quantitatively by the failure data analysis. So, it has a merit to reduce system maintenance cost and to operate effectively but, it require high cost in system introducing and continuous operation to end of system. In corrective maintenance, we may calculate MTTR(mean time to repair) quantitatively based on function failure time. it can be based on establishing maintenance system for operation efficiency. In this paper, we may reflect the MTTR for the onboard equipped in Tilting train to establish maintenance system for Tilting train operation efficiency.

도시가스 배관에서 위험을 유발할 수 있는 사건의 발생빈도를 구하기 위하여 주요 사고원인인 굴착공사, 외부부식, 지반침하 및 장치손상 등에 의한 사고발생빈도를 구하는 방법을 제시하였다. 굴착공사로 인한 손상은 FTA에 의해 기본사상(Basic event)을 도출하고, 부식에 의한 손상확률은 시간변화에 따른 부식결함의 잔존강도를 평가하는 평가식을 제시하였다. 지반침하로 인한 손상은 기준손상율을 구하고 여기에 손상모드인자 및 보정인자를 고려한 모델을 이용하여 구하였다. 장치원인에 의한 손상확률은 고유고장율과 특정고장율 자료를 모두 반영할 수 있는 방법을 제시하였으며 그 계산 예도 제시하였다.

FRACAS(Failure Reporting, Analysis and Corrective Action System) is intended to provide management visibility and control for reliability and maintainability improvement of hardware and associated software by timely and disciplined utilization of failure and maintenance data to generate and implement effective corrective actions to prevent failure recurrence and to simplify or reduce the maintenance tasks. This process applies to acquisition for the design, development, fabrication, test, and operation or military systems, equipment, and associated computer programs. This paper shows the FRACAS development process and developed FRACAS system for a defense equipment.

Recently, there are emphasized to support the maintenance and management system of vessels using acquired data from engine part equipment. But, there are limitations for data exchange and management. To solve the problem, the ISO published ISO 19847 and 19848. In this paper, we analyze the ISO 19848 requirements related to identify data channel ID for ship equipment, and propose the examples for applying encoding techniques. In addition, we suggest the proposed technique for applying of managing the failure and maintenance type of the ship's engine part facilities by examples. If this method is applied, the vessel's equipment can exchange data through the sharing of the code table, and express what response is needed or acted, including where the failure occurred.

The creep resistance of geogrids is one of the most significant long-term safety characteristics used as the reinforcement in slopes and embankments. The failure of geogrids is defined as creep strain greater than 10%. In this study, the accelerated creep tests were applied to polyester geogrids at various loading levels of 30, 50% of the yield strengths and temperatures using newly designed test equipment. Also, the new test equipment permitted the creep testing at or above glass transition temperature($T_g$) of 75, 80, $85^{\circ}C$. The time-dependent creep behaviors were observed at various temperatures and loading levels. And then the creep curves were shifted and superposed in the time axis by applying time-temperature supposition principles. The shifting factors(AFs) were obtained using WLF equation. In predicting the lifetimes of geogrids, the underlying distribution for failure times were determined based on identification of the failure mechanism. The results confirmed that the failure distribution of geogrids followed Weibull distribution with increasing failure rate and the lifetimes of geogrids were close to 100 years which was required service life in the field with 1.75 of reduction factor of safety. Using the newly designed equipment, the creep test of geogrids was found to be highly accelerated. Furthermore, the time-temperature superposition with the newly designed test equipment was shown to be effective in predicting the lifetimes of geogrids with shorter test times and can be applied to the other geosynthetics.

Previous earthquakes show that, structural safety evaluations should include the evaluation of nonstructural components. Failure of nonstructural components can affect the operational capacity of critical facilities, such as hospitals and fire stations, which can cause an increase in number of deaths. Additionally, failure of nonstructural components may result in economic, architectural, and historical losses of community. Accelerations and random vibrations must be under the predefined limitations in structures with high technological equipment, data centers in this case. Failure of server equipment and anchored server racks are investigated in this study. A probabilistic study is completed for a low-rise rigid sample structure. The structure is investigated in two versions, (i) conventional fixed-based structure and (ii) with a base isolation system. Seismic hazard assessment is completed for the selected site. Monte Carlo simulations are generated with selected parameters. Uncertainties in both structural parameters and mechanical properties of isolation system are included in simulations. Anchorage failure and vibration failures are investigated. Different methods to generate fragility curves are used. The site-specific annual hazard curve is used to generate risk curves for two different structures. A risk matrix is proposed for the design of data centers. Results show that base isolation systems reduce the failure probability significantly in higher floors. It was also understood that, base isolation systems are highly sensitive to earthquake characteristics rather than variability in structural and mechanical properties, in terms of accelerations. Another outcome is that code-provided anchorage failure limitations are more vulnerable than the random vibration failure limitations of server equipment.

본 논문에서는 하수처리장 주요 장비 고장밀도함수를 기반으로 시스템 가용성 평가가 수행되었다. 프로세스 구성과 구성요소의 고장률에 따른 시스템 가용성 및 위험요소 분석에 초점을 맞추고 있다. 하수처리장 시스템 가용성 분석을 위하여 기자재 분류와 해당기자재의 고장확률밀도함수를 정립하였다. 가용성 평가 과정의 불확실성의 해소를 위하여 몬테카를로 시뮬레이션 기법과 이벤트기법을 도입하였다. 하수처리장 시스템 가용성은 구성장비가 직렬연결 상태인 경우에 50.4%로 평가되었으며, 장비별 보조시스템이 추가 적용된 경우 80.1% 이상으로 증가하였다. 슬러지 탈수 및 농축 공정의 시스템 오작동은 전체 시스템 오작동의 77% 이상에 해당하고 있어 주 위험 요인으로 평가되었다.
