A universal joint is a device that transmits the power of a combat vehicle engine to a cooling fan. The power of the engine is transmitted to the universal joint as it is without buffering, and play occurs at the joint between the drive shaft connected to the engine and the driven shaft connected to the cooling fan according to the usage time. Accordingly, the universal joint is periodically replaced, and the criterion for this is the degree of torsion of the universal joint. However, if the universal joint is not properly maintained during the replacement cycle, damage to the universal joint as well as damage to the surrounding power supply may occur. Accordingly, a backlash measuring device was developed to determine the limit of durability of the universal joint, and the limit of durability was derived through regression analysis of the backlash value according to the use time obtained from the accelerated life test.

일반적으로 피로수명은 예측모델과 외부하중 및 기타 환경조건에서의 불확실성으로 인해 정확한 예측이 어렵다. 정확하고 신뢰성 있는 피로균열 예측을 바탕으로 강구조물의 수명관리가 효율적으로 수행될 수 있는데, 이를 위해서는 피로균열 성장 예측과 관련된 정보의 효과적이고 지속적인 업데이트가 필수적이다. 피로균열 예측 업데이트는 기존 예측모델의 변수들을 가용한 현재의 정보와 통합하는 과정을 의미하는데, 업데이트되는 변수들에 따라 예측모델의 결과가 달라진다. 본 연구에서는 피로균열 예측 업데이트에 필요한 가장 적절한 변수들을 결정하는 기법을 제시한다. 이를 위해 피로균열 예측 모델의 모든 변수들의 조합을 고려하여, 발견된 균열의 크기와 업데이트된 변수들의 차이를 평가한다. 피로균열 예측모델의 변수 업데이트를 위해 Markov chain Monte Carlo 시뮬레이션 기반 Bayesian 업데이트 기법을 적용하며, 발견된 균열의 크기와 업데이트된 예측균열의 크기 비교를 위해 평균절대오차(Mean absolute error) 기법과 Kullback-Leibler(KL) divergency 기법을 적용한다.

An aircraft engine is supposed to be used for a specified lifespan, and it is reused through the depot maintenance for a major overhaul when its cumulative service life reaches the lifespan. However, the depot maintenance takes a long time due to the complexity of its process, and thus to continuously operate aircraft, spare engines are required to substitute engines under renovation. Considering the limited capacity of the depot, the uniformity of the quantity and cycle of engines entering the depot maintenance provides an opportunity to the decrease of the spare engines and the improvement of aircraft availability. It is the purpose of engine life management. Furthermore, in establishing flight plans, the time for essential maintenance activities, such as pre/post-flight inspection, servicing, the preparation for next flight, has to guarantee. Especially, fighters additionally require much time for installing weapons for their mission. That is, the rearming procedure can be left out if the adjoining missions are identical. Otherwise, the rearming time is varyingly spent depending on the types of adjacent duties. Therefore, this study proposes the mathematical model for an aircraft-mission assignment considering engine life management and maintenance schedule, and it is formulated based on the time-space network. Moreover, to verify and validate the model, an example was developed by applying realistic aircraft operating environment and simulation to perform air operations for several days was fulfilled. The experimental results presented flight plans corresponding to the purpose of this study, such as engine life management and the assurance of maintenance time.

Internet of Thing(IoT), which is recently talked about with the development of information and communication technology, provides big data to all nodes such as companies and homes, means of transportation etc. by connecting all things with all people through the integrated global network and connecting all actual aspects of economic and social life with Internet of Thing through sensor and software. Defining Internet of Thing, it plays the role of a connector of providing various information required for the decision-making of companies in the cloud computing environment for the Insight usage by collecting and storing Raw Data of the production site through the sensor network and extracting big data in which data is accumulated and Insight through this. In addition, as the industry showing the largest linkage with other root industries among root industries, the mold industry is the core technology for controlling the quality and performance of the final product and realizing the commercialization of new industry such as new growth power industry etc. Recently, awareness on the mold industry is changing from the structure of being labor-intensive, relying on the experience of production workers and repeating modification without the concept of cost to technology-intensive, digitization, high intellectualization due to technology combination according to IT convergence. This study, therefore, is to provide a golden opportunity to increase the direct and indirect expected effects in poor management activities of small businesses by actually implementing and managing the entire process of mold life cycle to information system from mold planning to mass production and preservation by building SME(small and medium-sized enterprises)-type mold life cycle management information system in the cloud computing environment and applying it to the production site.

In the manufacturing process the most widely used x chart has been applied to control the process mean. Also, Accelerated Life Test(ALT) is commonly used for efficient assurance of product life in development phases, which can be applied in production reliability acceptance test. When life data has lognormal distribution, through censored ALT design so that censored ALT data has asymptotic normal distribution, ALTx control chart integrating x chart and ALT procedure could be applied to control the mean of process in the manufacturing process. In the situation that process variation is controlled, Zp control chart is an effective method for the very small fraction nonconforming of quality characteristic. A simultaneous control scheme with ALTx control chart and Zp control chart is designed for the very small fraction nonconforming of product lifetime.

Survival and development of manufacturing business depends on how the companies make competitive product and put out on the market. In other words, the core competitiveness of manufacturing business is "product" and companies’ competitiveness and sustainable growth could be guaranteed by management from product deveIopment to release onto the market. However, there are few examples about establishing successful system yet. The purpose of this study is to analyze on how PLM affect the performance. In particular, findout how iIlegal copying of PLM system that contains know-how gives company negative effect and emphasize why companies should recognize the importance of iIIegaI copying.

An Emergency Diesel Generator (EDG) installed in a nuclear power plant is the primary power source, supplying AC power to Class 1E power systems when the main turbine generator and offsite power source are not available. Thus, reliability of the EGD is essential for plant safety and availability. In this paper, the EDG is selected for a Long Term Asset Management (LTAM) strategy and the results are summarized briefly. The LTAM strategy is intended to provide an effective long-term planning tool for minimizing unplanned capability loss and then optimizing maintenance programs and capital investments consistent with plant safety and an identified plant operating strategy. Such an operating strategy might include license renewal or retaining the option for license renewal.

The Cost has been much emphasized in inside of an army because of the promotion of reconciliation atmosphere between South and North Korea and the reduction of defense budget since 1990. So we are now faced with the problem that we should consider a cost above all besides the performance and arrangement for such a restriction of budget in time of developing new generation weapon systems. In this research we are suggested following two methodologies. One is the develop a weapon system with optimum cost considering a Life Cycle Cost from the first stage of design and the other is the cost control and management with the establishment of Target cost.

The present study proposes the definition of service life and the end-of- life criterion for bridge maintenance. Bridges begin to deteriorate as soon as they are put into service. Effective bridge maintenance requires sound understanding of the deterioration mechanism as well as the expected service life. In order to determine the expected service life of a bridge for effective bridge maintenance, it is necessary to have a clear definition of service life and end-of-life. However, service life can be viewed from several perspectives based on literature review. The end of a bridge’s life can be also defined by more than one perspective or performance measure. This study presents definition of service life which can be used for bridge maintenance and the end-of life criterion using the performance measure such as a damage score. The regression model can predict an average service life of bridges using the proposed end-of-life criterion.

Life expectancy of bridges may be reduced mainly due to leakage, freeze-and-thaw, de-icing chemicals, and traffic volumes, which results in early deteriorations. This study suggests the bridge management strategies to extend the service life.

구조물의 수명관리는 일반적으로 불확실성의 효율적 고려를 위해 신뢰성 이론을 적용한다. 전체 구조시스템의 신뢰성 평가는 구조 요소의 신뢰성 평가와 구조시스템의 모델링을 통해 이루어진다. 구조시스템은 신뢰도에 대한 구조요소의 역할과 기여도를 고려하여 모델링 된 다. 따라서, 구조시스템의 신뢰도는 구조요소의 모델링과 구조요소의 상관관계에 따라 서로 다른 결과를 제시하게 된다. 최초 구조시스템의 신 뢰도 평가와 열화요소를 반영한 구조시스템의 수명 평가를 바탕으로 생애주기 비용 최소화와 관련된 목적함수를 가지는 최적화 과정을 통해 수 명관리가 이루어진다. 본 논문에서는 구조시스템을 구성하는 구조요소의 상관관계와 더불어 기존의 연구에서 고려된 바 없는 유지보수 간의 상 관관계에 따른 수명평가 영향분석을 수행하며, 이를 통해 향후 좀 더 효율적인 수명관리 기법 개발에 활용하고자 한다. 또한, 예방유지보수와 필 수유지보수를 모두 고려하며, 유지보수간 독립 상태와 완전상관 상태에 따른 수명 예측 및 최적화 유지보수 계획 수립을 비교 제시한다.
