이 논문은 LPG 자동차의 캠축베어링 시일의 오일누설, 컴퓨터커넥터 핀 손상에 의한 접촉불량, 베이퍼라이저 배부불량으로 인한 고장사례에 대하여 현상을 분석, 연구한 것이다. 첫 번째 사례는 실린더 헤드를 분해하여 확인한 결과 타이밍 시스템에서 가까운 엔진의 흡기캠축의 베어링과 시일의 조립부 손상으로 인해 이 부위로 엔진오일이 누설되는 것을 확인하였다. 두 번째 사례는 엔진컴퓨터로 공급되는 자동차의 시동을 제어하는 전원선의 커넥터 핀이 손상되어, 전원이 공급되지 않아 시동이 꺼진 것을 확인하였다. 세 번째 사례는 베이퍼라이저 내부에 이물질의 퇴적으로 인해 가스의 흐름이 원활하지 못하여 엔진의 부조화현상이 발생되었다. 결국, 베이퍼라이저에서 믹서로 적은 양의 가스를 공급하게 되고, 믹서의 스로틀 열림량을 제어하는 컴퓨터는 그 열림량만큼 공기를 공급하게 됨으로써 연소실에서 혼합기는 희박한 상태가 되어 엔진의 적정출력을 내지 못하는 것을 확인하였다. 따라서, 자동차가 최적의 운전조건이 될 수 있도록 자동차관련 시스템의 관리를 철저하게 해야한다.

Estimation Problems of parameters of the failure process and the repair effect in repairable systems are considered. We propose estimation procedures in repairable systems without preventive maintenances. The failure process is modeled by a proportional age reduction model (Brown, Mahoney, Sivazlian [5]) which is able to consider both aging and repair effects. Maximum likelihood method is used to estimate the repair effect and parameters of intensity function simultaneously. simulations are performed to evaluate the accuracy of estimators. A numerical example is also presented.

Several statistical methods are introduced 1=o analyze the accelerated failure time data. Most frequently used method is the log-linear approach with parametric assumption. Since the accelerated failure time experiments are exposed to many environmental restrictions, parametric log-linear relationship might not be working properly to analyze the resulting data. The models proposed by Buckley and James(1979) and Stute(1993) could be useful in the situation where parametric log-linear method could not be applicable. Those methods are introduced in accelerated experimental situation under the thermal acceleration and discussed through an illustrated example.

A Bayesian burn-in procedure is developed for imited failure populations in which defective items fail soon after they are put in operation and non-defective ones never fail during he technical life of the items. Sequential schemes guaranteeing pre-specified outgoing quality of a product are derived based on prior information on the quality of a product and accumulated failure information up to the decision point. A numerical example is also provided.

This paper deals with a problem of choosing an optimum inspection period for an equipment with two stages of failures. Stage I failure which can be detected only through inspection detenorates the equipment and causes critical stage II failure after a random period of time. The expected average cost function is obtained and an optimum inspection policy is discussed. A numerical example is also worked out.

This study proposes a system reliability analysis of rack storage facilities subjected to forklift colliding events. The proposed system reliability analysis consists of two steps: the first step is to identify dominant failure modes that most contribute to the failure of the whole rack facilities, and the second step is to evaluate the system failure probability. In the first step, dominant failure modes are identified by using a simulation-based selective searching technique where the contribution of a failure mode to the system failure is roughly estimated based on the distance from the origin in the space of the random variables. In the second step, the multi-scale system reliability method is used to compute the system reliability where the first-order reliability method (FORM) is initially used to evaluate the component failure probability (failure probability of one member), and then the probabilities of the identified failure modes and their statistical dependence are evaluated, which is called as the lower-scale reliability analysis. Since the system failure probability is comprised of the probabilities of the failure modes, a higher-scale reliability analysis is performed again based on the results of the lower-scale analyses, and the system failure probability is finally evaluated. The illustrative example demonstrates the results of the system reliability analysis of the rack storage facilities subjected to forklift impact loadings. The numerical efficiency and accuracy of the approach are compared with the Monte Carlo simulations. The results show that the proposed two-step approach is able to provide accurate reliability assessment as well as significant saving of computational time. The results of the identified failure modes additionally let us know the most-critical members and their failure sequence under the complicated configuration of the member connections.

Maintenance activities are regarded as a key part of the repairable deteriorating system because they maintain the equipment in good condition. In practice, many maintenance policies are used in engineering fields to reduce unexpected failures and slow down the deterioration of the system. However, in traditional maintenance policies, maintenance activities have often been assumed to be performed at the same time interval, which may result in higher operational costs and more system failures. Thus, this study presents two non-periodic preventive maintenance (PM) policies for repairable deteriorating systems, employing the failure rate of the system as a conditional variable. In the proposed PM models, the failure rate of the system was restored via the failure rate reduction factors after imperfect PM activities. Operational costs were also considered, which increased along with the operating time of the system and the frequency of PM activities to reflect the deterioration process of the system. A numerical example was provided to illustrate the proposed PM policy. The results showed that PM activities performed at a low failure rate threshold slowed down the degradation of the system and thus extended the system lifetime. Moreover, when the operational cost was considered in the proposed maintenance scheme, the system replacement was more cost-effective than frequent PM activities in the severely degraded system.

중요도추출법을 이용한 항만구조물의 신뢰성해석방법을 제시하였다. 몬테카를로모사법(Monte Carlo Simulation)을 이용하여 신뢰성해석을 수행할 때 전도파괴확률과 같이 매우 낮은 파괴확률을 가진 경우는 해석시간이 과다하게 소요되는 문제점이 있다. 항만구조물 신뢰성해석 시 나타나는 이러한 문제를 극복하기 위해 파괴면주위의 추출점을 이용하여 해석시간을 단축시킬 수 있는 중요도추출법을 적용하였다. 중요도추출법을 항만구조물에 적용한 경우 파괴확률이 매우 낮은 파괴모드에 대한 신뢰성해석을 효율적으로 수행할 수 있음을 보였다. 수치해석에서 케이슨 안벽의 신뢰성해석을 수행하였으며 파괴확률의 낮고 높음에 따른 중요도추출법의 효용성을 검증하였다.

In the fields of reliability application, the most commonly used test methods for reliability qualification are zero failure tests since they require fewer test samples and less test time compared to other test methods that guarantee the same reliability with a given confidence level. An economic zero failure test plan is developed that minimizes the total cost related to perform a life test to guarantee a specified reliability of a product with a given confidence level and a numerical example is provided to illustrate the use of the proposed test method.

A Bayesian zero-failure reliability demonstration test method for products with Weibull lifetime distribution is presented. Inverted gamma prior distribution for the scale parameter of the Weibull distribution is used to design the Bayesian test plan and selecting a prior distribution using a prior test information is discussed. A test procedure with zero-failure acceptance criterion is developed that guarantee specified reliability of a product with given confidence level. An example is provided to illustrate the use of the developed Bayesian reliability demonstration test method.
