Environmental test is divided into operation test and storage test. The temperature of storage test is induced temperature which is considered with all sort of the heat source. Induced temperature is the temperature to be adapted to each item and platform and can be induced by computer simulation, laboratory, and real field test. We considered the induced temperature to be associated with solar heat source. In this research. First, we compared the induced temperature which be occurred by one experiment for thin plate in solar test chamber with the other one which be occurred by computer simulation to be SolidWorks 2007 COSMOS FloWorks. After this verification, we showed induced temperature which can be occurred when the test item is stored. Especially, we bring out the induced temperature by applying the ambient temperatures which is presented by MIL-STD-810F and brought out in preceding research.

The stud bolts tend to degrade faster by high temperature(over 45$0^{\circ}C$). Therefore, replacement cycle inspection of stud bolts were carried out various method such as ultrasonic test(UT), magnetic test(MT), wobble test, visual test and hardness test. Especially, wobble test method has been applied to determine replacement evaluation criteria of stud bolt after long time operation. We applied three different methods on the three site and the obtained data are compared with the results from the evaluation methods. From the results, the replacement criteria for stud bolts under high temperature in power plants are proposed.

This study discusses a fuel injector test bench containing a mechanical type fuel supply system for heavy duty diesel engine. The main focus of this study was to evaluate the design stability of the test bench, which basically measures the injector durability of a multi-hole heavy duty injector by using pure diesel as a test fuel. In this experiment, diesel spray was controlled by a specially designed control box and all the experiments were carried out to measure e.g. fuel injection pressure and fuel injection quantity to understand the injection status which is interlinked with the stability factor of total test bench design. Also, the durability test was performed to understand the heavy duty operation lastingness of the designed system and the flow rate of the installed distributor pump in the fuel supply system of this studying test bench was compared with LO-1 and LO-2 pump. The results of the above mention tests revealed that the injector test bench design and control system can serve the purpose for heavy duty injector.

The small punch test have been developed to evaluate the material strength of the power plant components. This small punch test specimen is very small than the conventional strength test specimens. Korea Electric Power Research Institute (KEPRI) have been applying this test to assess accurately the life of thermal power plant and enhancing the reliability. The small punch test for gas turbine blades is under development. It's possible to compare the relative strength among the same materials having different operation histories. In this paper, the strength reductions of gas turbine materials are investigated by the small punch tests. All materials shows the almost same strength and deformation with the allowable deviation. At the same test temperature, the damaged material has the maximum load value. The strength reduction is not shown in this small punch test results.

KAERI is performing a project on out-pile test technology development for a full scale PWR fuel assembly. We have introduced the hydraulic test facility, a test assembly, test parameters, test methods, and a data acquisition system. The start up test will be in the middle of March 2005 and the main test will be accomplished by the end of 2006. The established test facility and measuring technique will contribute to the satisfaction of domestic needs for the design verification to improve the reliability of a PWR plant operation.

Testing evaluation is a part of process for design, production, evaluation, operation and abolition, and is the process of certifying system performance. The main purpose of testing evaluation is to reduce the risk factor under the determining process. Testing process has the three step such as design qualification, integration and validation test in factory, system integration and commissioning test. Design Qualification is to verify errors on the design process. Integration and validation test in factory is for the H/W and S/W of an equipment and is to verify interface of subsystem, communication protocol and main functions. System integration and commissioning test is a functional test to adjust successful installation of equipment. According to the testing process, briefly consideration for test item, test method and test contents about signalling system is carried out.

In this paper, we present an efficient test algorithm for data processing function of MC68000 \ulcorner. The test vector for functional testing is determined by stuck-at, coupling and transition fault for data storage and transfer. But for data manipulation it is determined by a boolean function of micro-operation. This test algorithm is composed of 3 parts, choosing optimum test instructions for maximizing fault coverage and minimizing test process time, deciding the test order for minimizing test ambiguity, and processing the actual test.

Automatic test case generation for testing an embedded software is considered. Existing tools for test case generation such as finite state machine or mutant test usually adopt top down approach and depend upon graphical transition and decision table, which makes it difficult to find out where the bugs exist. Also it is hard to describe the special features of embedded systems such as concurrent execution of individual components. Most of embedded systems interacts with the real world, receiving signals through sensors or switches and sending output signals to actuators that somehow manipulate the environment. Embedded software controls the entire system based on the logics such as interpreting the sensor inputs and making the actuators to start or stop their intended operation. This study proposes an automatic test case generation procedure that tests the system starting from the control logics of sensors, switches and actuators and then their concurrent execution controls, and finally the entire system operation. Such a stepwise approach makes it easy to generate test cases to tell where the bugs of embedded software exist.

Gas foil thrust bearings (GFTBs) have attractive advantages over rolling element bearings and oil film thrust bearings, such as oil-free operation, high speed stability, and high-temperature operation. However, GFTBs have lower load carrying capacity than the other two types of bearings owing to the inherent low gas viscosity. The load carrying capacity of GFTBs depends mainly on the compliance of the foil structure and the formed hydrodynamic wedge, where the gas pressure field is generated between the top foil and the thrust runner. The load carrying capacity of the GFTBs is very important for the suitable design of oil-free turbomachinery with high performance. The aim of the present study is to identify the characteristics of the load carrying performance of GFTBs. A new test rig for the experimental measurements is designed to provide static loads up to 800 N using a pneumatic cylinder. The maximum operating speed of the driving motor is 30,000 rpm. A series of experimental tests—lift-off test, static load performance test, and maximum load capacity test—estimate the performance of a six-pad GFTB, in terms of the static load, driving torque, and temperature. The maximum load capacity is determined by increasing the static load until the driving torque rises suddenly with a sharp peak. The test results show that the torque and temperature increase linearly with the static load. The estimated maximum load capacity per unit area is approximately 80.5 kPa at a rotor speed of 25,000 rpm. The test results can be used as a design guideline for GFTBs for realizing oil-free turbomachinery.
