The reliability, that is Long-Term Quality, require an approaching different from Short-Term Quality which is used before. As the electronic components are able to be easily normalized on the reliability testing, various testing standards are used. In this study, we proposed two reliability simulator that is PoF(Physics of Failure)-based and failure rate models-based. PoF-based simulator is introduced based on CalceEP program that is created by University of Maryland. This simulator can be modified by user interface of properties and PoF models and operated on stand alone system. Failure rate models-based simulator introduced according to analyzing reliability prediction documents. Also, unified database including failure data models is built from existing MIL-HDBK-217F N2, PRISM, and Bellcore, and web-based simulator is developed. The developed reliability simulator will service of the PoF model, properties, failure rate model accumulated and its data by web and internet.

To solve the reliability problem of organic devices that are often used outdoors, multifunctional gas barriers that block reactive gases such as moisture and oxygen and reflect harmful light such as ultraviolet rays are needed. In this study, ALD nanolaminate-based optically functional n-DBR was developed to overcome the poor gas permeability of polymer substrates and protect organic devices from harmful light. n-DBR not only achieved a WVTR of 8.76 × 10^-6 g·m^-2·day^-1, but also showed a visible light transmittance of 94.3% and an ultraviolet ray blocking ability of 2.67%. In particular, n-DBR based on a nanolaminate structure maintained its permeability characteristics even in a high temperature and high humidity environment despite being used as a layer of Al₂O₃. This functional barrier Structure can not only be used as a functional encapsulation barrier for the reliability of organic devices, but can also be used as a tinting film for vehicles.

함정 무기체계에 탑재되는 회로카드조립체(Printed Board Assembly, 이하 PBA)는 해양 함상이라는 가혹한 환경 조건에서 운용되기 때문에 임무 수행의 중요성과 정비의 어려움 등을 고려하여 높은 신뢰성 확보가 요구된다. 운용 중 PBA 고장 발생 시 신속한 수리부속 보급이 어렵고 임무수행에 영향을 미친다. 개발단계에서 신뢰성 시험이 시제품 제작 이후에 수행되며, 시험 수행을 위해 시간, 장소, 시료, 비용의 확보와 고장부위 식별 등에 많은 노력과 어려움이 따른다. 그리고 MIL-HDBK-217F 규격 등을 토대로 한 신뢰도 예측은 부품단위 고장률에 근거하고 있어 설계(PCB층/재질, 전자부품 배치/상호관계), 사용 환경과 방법, 접합부 구조와 특성(패드 크기/솔더 재질) 등 부품 외적인 고장요인을 고려하고 있지 않다. 이에 따라 본 연구에서는 고장물리(Physics of Failure, 이하 PoF) 기반 도구를 활용, 신뢰성 물리학 분석(Reliability Physics Analysis, 이하 RPA)을 수행하여 시제품 제작 전 열-기계적 측면의 신뢰성을 향상시키는 방안을 제시한다. RPA 수행과 적용을 통해 PBA의 특화된 다양한 고장메커니즘을 고려한 신뢰성 점검, 신뢰성 취약부위식별, 설계대안 도출, 설계반영 및 시험계획 수립 등 사전 검증을 수행하여 높은 신뢰성을 확보할 수 있다.

Pb-free solder has recently been used in electronics in efforts to meet environmental regulations, and a number of Pb-free solder alloy choices beyond the near-eutectic SnAgCu solder are now available. With increased demand for thin and portable electronics, the high cost of alloys containing significant amounts of silver and their poor mechanical shock performance have spurred the development of low Ag SnAgCu solder, which provides improved mechanical performance at a reasonable cost. Although low Ag SnAgCu solder exhibits significantly higher fracture resistance under high-strain rates, little thermal fatigue data exist for this solder. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate thermal fatigue reliability of low Ag SnAgCu solder under variation of thermal stress in order to allow its implementation in electronic products with high reliability requirements. In this study, the reliability of Sn0.3Ag0.7Cu(SAC0307), a low Ag solder alloy, is discussed and compared with that of Sn3Ag0.5Cu(SAC305). Three sample types and six samples size are evaluated. Mechanical properties and microstructure of the solder joint are investigated under thermal shock cycles. It was observed that the mechanical strength of SAC0307 dropped slightly with thermal cycling relative to that of SAC305. This reveals that the failure mode of SAC0307 is different from that SAC305 under this critical condition.

Kriging metamodel, as a flexible machine learning method for approximating deterministic analysis models of an engineering system, has been widely used for efficiently estimating slope reliability in recent years. However, the autocorrelation function (ACF), a key input to Kriging that affects the accuracy of reliability estimation, is usually selected based on empiricism. This paper proposes an adaption of the Kriging method, named as Genetic Algorithm optimized Whittle-Matérn Kriging (GAWMK), for addressing this issue. The non-classical two-parameter Whittle-Matérn (WM) function, which can represent different ACFs in the Matérn family by controlling a smoothness parameter, is adopted in GAWMK to avoid subjectively selecting ACFs. The genetic algorithm is used to optimize the WM model to adaptively select the optimal autocorrelation structure of the GAWMK model. Monte Carlo simulation is then performed based on GAWMK for a subsequent slope reliability analysis. Applications to one explicit analytical example and two slope examples are presented to illustrate and validate the proposed method. It is found that reliability results estimated by the Kriging models using randomly chosen ACFs might be biased. The proposed method performs reasonably well in slope reliability estimation.

Failure physics and statistical lifetime analysis constitute the two extreme ends of the reliability engineering spectrum, and studies that relate failure mechanisms to failure distributions have been near non-existent. This paper is an attempt to stimulate interest to fill the gap between the two extremes and proposes an approach of combining them through i) developing a failure mechanism model, ii) generating failure times by Monte Carlo simulation with the model, iii) deriving the failure time distribution and evaluating the product reliability, and iv) improving the product reliability by the sensitivity analysis. An application of the proposed approach to the BGA(Ball Grid Array) surface mount package is also provided.

이 논문은 중대사고가 발생하였을때 운전원에 의하여 사고관리 방안을 수행하는 경우 그 실현성(Feasibility)을, 평가하는데 사용할 수 있는 새로운 시간의존적 신뢰도 분석방법을 제시하였다. 이 방법은 성능요구 (Performance Requirement)와 성능성취 (Performance Achievement)의 상관관계의 개념을 이용하는 신뢰도물리(Reliability Physics)와 모든 시간의존적 사고경위를 도출하는 동적사건수목 생성방법에 기초하고있다. 신뢰도물리는 성능요구변수와 성능성취변수의 비교를 이용한 신뢰도분석방법인 반면 동적사건수목 생성방법은 바람직한 해를 얻을 때까지 모든 가능한 사고경위를 도출해 내는 방법이다. 이 방법론을 정전사고시 참조원전의 공동에 비상화재시스템을 이용하여 물을 공급하는 공동범람사고관리 방안에 적용시켰다. Latin Hypercube Sampling 방법은 성능요구변수의 불확실성을 평가하는데 사용되었다. 제시된 방법론은 사고시 필요한 운전원의 방안수행 성공가능성을 평가하는데 사용될 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 궁극적으로 사고관리 절차서 개발에 도움이 될 수 있음을 보여주었다.

본 논문은 하드웨어 전자 장비에 대해 방사선 고장을 고려한 신뢰성 분석 방법을 제시한다. 기존 신뢰성 분석은 주로 aging 고장률을 기반하고 있으나, 방사선에 의한 고장률을 고려하고 있지 않다. 물리 고장률은 고장 물리 분석을 사용하여 계산되며, 방사선 고장률은 Verilog Fault Injection 도구를 사용하여 준 경험적 방법으로 추정한다. 본 논문에서 제안한 방법론은 개발 초기 단계에서 신뢰성을 보장하고 회로의 취약성을 사전에 식별하여 개발 시간 및 비용을 줄일 수 있다. 사례 연구로 ISCAS85 회로에 대해 신뢰성 분석을 수행하였으며, 기존 신뢰성 도구를 이용한 분석 방법과 비교하여 우리 접근법의 효과를 보여준다. 이러한 종합적인 분석은 항공 및 우주와 같은 고방사선 분야에서 FPGA의 신뢰성을 보장하는 데 중요하다.

This paper presents a new dynamic approach for assessing feasibility associated with the implementation of accident management strategies by the operators. This approach includes the combined use of both the concept of reliability physics and a dynamic event tree generation scheme. The reliability physics is based on the concept of a comparison between two competing variables, i.e., the requirement and the achievement parameter, while the dynamic event tree generation scheme on the continuous generation of the possible event sequences at every branch point up to the desired solution. This approach is applied to a cavity flooding strategy in a reference plant, which is to supply water into the reactor cavity using emergency fire systems in the station blackout sequence. The MAAP code and Latin Hypercube sampling technique are used to determine the uncertainty of the requirement parameter. It has been demonstrated that this combined methodology may contribute to assessing the success likelihood of the operator actions required during accidents and therefore to developing the accident management procedures.

Parametric studies have been conducted into the variability of the factors affecting the ultrasonic testing applied to weldments. The influence of ultrasonic equipment, transducer parameters, test technique, job parameters, defect type and characteristics on reliability far defect detection and sizing was investigated by experimentation. The investigation was able to build up substantial bank of information on the reliability of manual ultrasonic method for testing weldments. The major findings of the study separate into two parts, one dealing with correlation between ultrasonic techniques, equipment and defect parameters and inspection performance effectiveness and other with human factors. Defect detection abilities are dependent on the training, experience and proficiency of the UT operators, the equipment used, the effectiveness of procedures and techniques.
