Purpose: This paper treats the improvement of the quality and reliability of military weapon systems based on the maintenance data. Methods: The proposed method of the data integration and refinement are used to obtain the component reliability information and to find the frequently failed components based on the Pareto analysis. Based on the reliability information and the number of failed component frequencies, the target components of quality improvement are determined and improved by multiple methods such as engineering changes, special meetings, additional training and revising maintenance manuals. Results: Based on the proposed process, we find some components which need to be improved in order to enhance the quality and reliability. Conclusion: A process is developed for improving the quality and reliability of weapon systems. This process will be adopted by various weapon systems to enhance the quality and reliability, as well as reduce military spending.

This paper examines a methodology for computing the probability of structural failure of reinforced concrete beams subjected to fire. The significant load variables considered are dead load, sustained live load and fire temperature. Resistance is expressed in terms of moment capacity with random variables taken as yield strength of steel, concrete class (or grade of concrete), beam width and depth. The flexural capacity is determined based on the design equations recommended in Indian standard IS456:2000. Simplified method named $500^{\circ}C$ isotherm method detailed in Eurocode 2 is incorporated for fire design. A transient thermal analysis is conducted using finite element software ANSYS$^{(R)}$ Release15. Reliability is evaluated from the initial state to 4h of fire exposure based on the first order reliability method (FORM). A procedure is coded in MATLAB for finding the reliability index. This procedure is validated with available literature. The effect of various parameters like effective cover, yield strength of steel, grade of concrete, distribution of reinforcement bars and aggregate type on reliability indices are studied. Parameters like effective cover of concrete, yield strength of steel has a significant effect on reliability of beams. Different failure modes like limit state of flexure and limit state of shear are checked.

본 논문에서는 서남해 해상풍력 실증단지 해역을 대상으로 석션버켓기초의 지지력에 대한 신뢰성 분석에 대한 내용을 다루었다. 5MW급 해상풍력터빈의 콘크리트 석션버켓기초를 선정하여 기초 설치 후 연직지지력과 수평지지력에 대한 파괴확률을 계산하고 설계변수의 민감도를 분석하였다. AFOSM을 이용한 신뢰성해석을 수행한 결과, 기초-지반 분리거동 시 연직지지력에 대한 파괴확률이 가장 큰 것으로 나타났으며 기초지반의 단위중량과 내부마찰각이 지배적인 영향인자임을 확인하였다.

The time-varying structural reliability of an aeroelastic launch vehicle subjected to stochastic parameters is investigated. The launch vehicle structure is under the combined action of several stochastic loads that include aerodynamics, thrust as well as internal combustion pressure. The launch vehicle's main body structural flexibility is modeled via the normal mode shapes of a free-free Euler beam, where the aerodynamic loadings on the vehicle are due to force on each incremental section of the vehicle. The rigid and elastic coupled nonlinear equations of motion are derived following the Lagrangian approach that results in a complete aeroelastic simulation for the prediction of the instantaneous launch vehicle rigid-body motion as well as the body elastic deformations. Reliability analysis has been performed based on two distinct limit state functions, defined as the maximum launch vehicle tip elastic deformation and also the maximum allowable stress occurring along the launch vehicle total length. In this fashion, the time-dependent reliability problem can be converted into an equivalent time-invariant reliability problem. Subsequently, the first-order reliability method, as well as the Monte Carlo simulation schemes, are employed to determine and verify the aeroelastic launch vehicle dynamic failure probability for a given flight time.

To analyze the seismic reliability of concrete rectangular liquid storage structures (CRLSSs), assuming that the wall thickness and internal liquid depth of CRLSSs are random variables, calculation models of CRLSSs are established by using the Monte Carlo finite element method (FEM). The principal stresses of the over-ground and buried CRLSSs are calculated under three rare fortification intensities, and the failure probabilities of CRLSSs are obtained. The results show that the seismic reliability increases with the increase of wall thickness, whereas it decreases with the increase of liquid depth. Between the two random factors, the seismic reliability of CRLSSs is more sensitive to the change in wall thickness. Compared with the over-ground CRLSS, the buried CRLSS has better reliability.

최근 PCB의 소형화, 박형화 및 고밀도화가 크게 요구되면서 MSAP (Modified Semi Additive Process) 기술을 이용한 SLP (Substrate Like PCB) 기술이 큰 주목을 받고 있다. 특히 SLP 기술은 스마트폰의 고용량 배터리 개발과 5G 기술에 꼭 필요한 기술이다. 본 연구에서는 기존의 HDI 기술과 MSAP 기술을 혼합하여 제작한 하이브리드 방식의 SLP의 신뢰성을 실험과 수치해석을 이용하여 분석하였다. 특히 최적의 SLP 설계를 위하여 프리프레그(prepreg)의 물성, 두께, 층수, 마이크로비아(microvia)의 크기 및 misalignment가 마이크로비아의 신뢰성에 미치는 영향을 IST(Interconnect Stress Test) 시험을 이용한 열사이클링 신뢰성 실험과 유한요소 수치해석을 통하여 고찰하였다. SLP 소재인 프리프레그의 열팽창계수가 적을수록 마이크로비아의 신뢰성은 크게 증가하며, 프리프레그의 두께가 얇을수록 신뢰성이 증가된다. 마이크로비아 홀의 크기 및 패드의 크기가 증가하면 응력이 완화되어 신뢰성은 향상된다. 반면 프리프레그의 층수가 증가할수록 마이크로비아의 신뢰성은 감소된다. 또한 misalignment가 크면 신뢰성은 감소하였다. 특히 이들 인자들 중에서 프리프레그의 열팽창계수가 마이크로비아의 신뢰성에 가장 큰 영향을 미친다. 수치 응력해석 결과도 실험 결과와 잘 일치하였으며, 응력이 낮을수록 마이크로비아의 신뢰성은 증가하였다. 본 실험과 수치해석의 결과는 향후 SLP 기판 제작 및 신뢰성 향상을 위한 유용한 설계 가이드라인으로 활용될 것으로 판단된다.

This paper describes the results of reliability prediction analysis of control rod control system, which is being developed as part of KNICS project. The results of reliability prediction indicate MTBF(Mean Time Between Failure) of cards for control rod control system. A purpose of reliability prediction is to evaluate MTBF of cards, identify the design drawbacks of cards, and propose design improvement to a designer to help design the more reliable control rod control system. This reliability prediction analysis used the the part count and part stress method in the basis of MIL-HDBK-217F.

Spatial variability is an inherent uncertainty of soil properties. Current reliability analyses generally incorporate random field theory and Monte Carlo simulation (MCS) when dealing with spatial variability, in which the computational efficiency is a significant challenge. This paper proposes a KL-FORM algorithm to improve the computational efficiency. In the proposed KL-FORM, Karhunen-Loeve (KL) expansion is used for discretizing random fields, and first-order reliability method (FORM) is employed for reliability analysis. The KL expansion and FORM can be used in conjunction, through adopting independent standard normal variables in the discretization of KL expansion as the basic variables in the FORM. To illustrate the effectiveness of this KL-FORM, it is applied to a case study of a strip footing in spatially variable unsaturated soil under rainfall, in which the bearing capacity of the footing is computed by numerical simulation. This case study shows that the KL-FORM is accurate and efficient. The parametric analyses suggest that ignoring the spatial variability of the soil may lead to an underestimation of the reliability index of the footing.

BLDC motors are stored in the devices such as CD-RW, COMBO, DVD-ROM and CD-ROM. It is indispensable to establish reliability assessment criteria for BLDC motors, especially in the world where IT grows rapidly. In this article, reliability certification procedure is given. The reliability certification procedure consists of two separate tests such as quality certification test and lifetime test. The former quality certification test comprises general performance test and environmental test. Items which pass the test undergo lifetime test which guarantees the extent of mean lifetime with certain confidence.
