This study investigated the root causes of wheel hub assembly looseness and abnormal brake pad wear observed during a 32,000 km durability driving test of a military medium truck. Structural analysis and component-level durability tests were conducted to identify the failure mechanisms and evaluate improvement measures. Test conditions were established based on relevant regulations and previous studies, and braking force and braking torque equations were derived through mathematical modeling. The results showed that the spacer used to fix the brake disc in the original design did not satisfy the required safety factor greater than 1.0. Furthemore, a wheel hub assembly torque durability test under more severe conditions than the original test was performed, and the results demonstrated a significant improvement in durability perfomance.

The starter motor for military armored vehicles was known for its reliable quality, with less than one failure reported per year. However, this changed recently when a sudden wave of failures began to occur. The main issue was the “pinion gear teeth” snapping off during operation. When these teeth break, the metal fragments scatter and damage other internal parts, causing expensive repairs and leaving the vehicles unusable. Because it is vital for the military to keep these vehicles ready for action, solving this problem became a top priority. This paper provides a comprehensive investigation into the root causes of these pinion gear failures by examining the entire system from multiple perspectives. First, we conducted a detailed analysis of the individual component, including its material properties and the manufacturing process to identify any inconsistencies. Second, the study evaluates the gear meshing conditions and structural alignment with the mating components to ensure proper power transmission. Furthermore, we analyzed the electrical characteristics of the starter motor, such as current surges during ignition, which could impose excessive stress on the gear teeth. By integrating these findings, this paper discusses the comprehensive process of identifying the failure mechanism and proposes technical improvements to prevent future occurrences.

이 연구에서는 파랑 하중을 받는 경사식 방파제의 구조적 안정성을 평가하기 위하여 강도감소법(Strength Reduction Method)을 이 용한 슬립 파괴 해석을 수행하였다. 강도감소법의 신뢰성은 기존의 사면 안정 해석 결과를 유한요소해석 프로그램인 ABAQUS로 재 현함으로써 검증하였다. 또한, 상치 콘크리트에 작용하는 파압 분포를 고려하여 경사식 방파제 내부의 슬립 파괴 거동을 분석하였다. 해석 결과, 이 연구에서 사용한 단면 형상 및 물성 조건 하에서 파고 7m 조건에서 비원형 슬립 파괴면이 발생하였고, 안전율은 약 1.68 로 산정되었다. 추가적으로 Latin Hypercube Sampling을 이용한 불확실성 해석을 수행하여 파고 변화에 따른 경사식 방파제의 취약 도 곡선을 도출하였다. 분석 결과 파고가 증가함에 따라 파괴 확률이 급격히 증가하였으며, 임계 파고는 약 6.85m로 평가되었다. 이 연구는 강도감소법 기반 수치해석이 경사식 방파제의 내파 안정성 및 취약도 평가에 효과적으로 적용될 수 있음을 보여준다.

In this study, structural analysis was performed to select the optimal design shape through failure identification and design changes in turbine housing. Damage in the inlet flange is considered to be high cycle fatigue due to the vibration excitation in the engine full load test. Therefore, the FE analyses were performed natural vibration analysis and frequency response analysis for the initial shape and design change models. The stress magnitudes were obtained as a function of frequency through frequency response analysis according to engine vibration excitation. As a result, the dynamic stiffness of Case (1) increased by approximately 3.6% compared to the initial model, and Case (2) increased by 4.6%. In addition, the stress magnitude was greatly reduced in the design improvement. Therefore, the model with only the flange thickness increased is thought to be optimal design for securing the durability of the turbine housing.

본 연구에서는 2009년부터 2024년까지 발생한 수도관 파손 사례 29건(DCIP 16건, SP 13건)을 직접 조사하여 파손의 원인을 규명하였다. DCIP의 파손 유형은 주로 종방향 균열 또는 파손(62.5%, 10건)이었고, 그외 파손 유형으로는 홀(Hole) 발생(18.8%), 원주방향 균열 (12.5%), 접합부 부식으로 인한 누수(6.3%)이었다. SP는 5건의 홀 발생(38.5%), 그외 종방향 균열과 원주방향 균열은 각각 30.8%로 나타났다. 이러한 파손의 원인으로 DCIP는 제조상(관두께 부족, 편차, 몸통 기공, 표면 결함 등)이나 재질 결함(화학적 성분, 금속 구조, 인장강도 등)이 DCIP의 파손에 가장 큰 영향을 미쳤으며, 부식과 관련된 매설 환경과 관 하부 기초 시공(자갈, 보 등)과 관련된 사항이 영향을 주었던 것으로 나타났다. SP는 부식, 관의 처짐을 유발하는 매설 환경이나 시공 관련 요인이 SP에 가장 큰 영향을 미쳤고, 일부 롤벤딩으로 제작된 SP는 종방향 용접 결함(부분 용접 등)으로 인한 반복적인 파손 사고를 유발하는 것으로 나타났다. 마지막으로, DCIP와 SP의 파손 사고는 단일 원인이라기보다는 상기의 다양한 요인들이 복합적으로 작용하여 발생한 것으로 판단된다. 그러나 관의 파손에는 관 제조상, 재료 결함, 시공 요인들이 큰 영향을 주고 있어 상수도 관 진단 시 더욱 집중적으로 조사해야 할 영역으로 판단된다.

This study is to deal with the cause analysis and improvement ideas for breakage to hydraulic pipes mounted on self-propelled howitzers. Hydraulic piping is one of the core components of a hydraulic system. This is because in the case of devices that use hydraulic pressure as a power source, hydraulic oil is supplied through hydraulic piping to operate. Compared to the main hydraulic assembly, its importance is low, so there are not many studies or failure analysis cases on it. However, contrary to this, cases of hydraulic pipe failure account for a significant proportion of the total number of failures, requiring in-depth technical review. In this study, we aim to analyze the causes of failures in hydraulic pipes of self-propelled guns operated by the military and propose improvement measures. It is expected that this study will aid as a reference for problem solving when similar failures occur in the future.

In this paper, as there are many cases of fires occurring due to the failure or inoperability of the thermostat of electronic products, the purpose is to test and analyze the risks and probabilities through fire cases and reproduction experiments, and suggest countermeasures. Among electronic products, water purifiers are composed of a refrigerant system with a compressor to make cold water, a heating device to make hot water, and an electric device used as an energy source. Due to the nature of the water purifier manufacturing, these devices are subject to a lot of moisture and dust. etc. exist in large quantities and use electrical energy, so there is a possibility of fire due to short circuit in the wire, electrical abnormal overheating (tracking phenomenon) in the thermostat, electronic board, starting relay, etc., and overheating of the heating device (Band Heater). there is. Therefore, in order to prevent fires from these devices, a system to remove foreign substances inside the water purifier is necessary, the use of heat-resistant (fire-resistant) wires for electrical devices is essential, and the use of non-combustible materials (semi-combustible materials) for each part is necessary to prevent fire. The risk must be eliminated through prevention and combustion expansion prevention devices.

PURPOSES : The wedge-type anchorage system requires a complex analysis of not only the tensile stress of the CFRP plate, but also the compressive stress and shear stress generated by the wedge action. The purpose of this study is to find a composite material failure theory that is suitable for analyzing the behavior of wedge-type anchorage system among various failure theories. METHODS : In this study, numerical analysis of various composite material failure theories was performed to analyze the anchorage strength and failure mode of the wedge-type anchorage system according to each failure theory, and compared with actual test results to determine the composite material failure theory most suitable for analyzing the behavior of a wedge-type anchorage system. RESULTS : Since the Maximum Stress failure theory shows similar results to the actual test in terms of failure mode and anchorage strength, there is no significant problem in applying it to the wedge-type anchorage system. However, it is judged to be difficult to apply under property conditions where interactions between stresses are highlighted. The Tsai-Hill and Tsai-Wu failure theories are considered unsuitable for application to wedge-type anchorage systems because the wedge angle conditions at which the most advantageous anchorage strength occurs are significantly different from other theories and the fracture type cannot be predicted. The Hashin-Rotem failure theory is considered to be the most appropriate to apply as a failure theory for the wedge-shaped anchorage system because the anchorage strength was slightly lower than the actual test results, but there was no significant difference, and the failure mode was consistent with the test results. The Hashin failure theory is judged to be unsuitable for application as a failure theory for the wedge-type anchorage system because the anchorage strength and failure mode were interpreted differently from the actual test results. CONCLUSIONS : The Hashin-Rotem failure theory was presented as the composite material failure theory most suitable for analyzing the behavior of wedge-type anchorage system.

PURPOSES : The primary objective of this study is to analyze the relationship between the factors that affect traffic incident duration in the mainline, tunnel, and ramp segments of an expressway. In addition, this study derived the most suitable statistical prediction model based on various incident duration distributions. METHODS : South Korean expressway crash data for 11 years, from 2011 to 2021, were analyzed. The incident durations on the mainline, tunnel, and ramp segments were selected using the accelerated failure time model, which is a parametric survival analysis approach. RESULTS : The mainline segment showed that the incident duration increased during accidents, including guard pipe collisions, multivehicle collisions, and snowfall. In particular, collisions in a tunnel with shoulder facilities increase the incident duration, while decreasing the time in the ramp segment. CONCLUSIONS : The incident duration model for each segment type yielded the most accurate results when applying a log-logistic distribution.

This study explores multiple variables of an OTT service for discovering hidden relationship between rating and the other variables of each successful and failed content, respectively. In order to extract key variables that are strongly correlated to the rating across the contents, this work analyzes 170 Netflix original dramas and 419 movies. These contents are classified as success and failure by using the rating site IMDb, respectively. The correlation between the contents, which are classified via rating, and variables such as violence, lewdness and running time are analyzed to determine whether a certain variable appears or not in each successful and failure content. This study employs a regression analysis to discover correlations across the variables as a main analysis method. Since the correlation between independent variables should be low, check multicollinearity and select the variable. Cook's distance is used to detect and remove outliers. To improve the accuracy of the model, a variable selection based on AIC(Akaike Information Criterion) is performed. Finally, the basic assumptions of regression analysis are identified by residual diagnosis and Dubin Watson test. According to the whole analysis process, it is concluded that the more director awards exist and the less immatatable tend to be successful in movies. On the contrary, lower fear tend to be failure in movies. In case of dramas, there are close correlations between failure dramas and lower violence, higher fear, higher drugs.

As earthquakes continue to occur in Korea in recent years, seismic evaluation and retrofit of existing school buildings have been carried out. Many domestic school buildings were built using or referring to standard drawings. Therefore, if the overall structural characteristics of a school building can be known first based on standard drawings, it can be provided as valuable data for detailed seismic evaluation. For this reason, this study investigated the weak structural components and failure modes by comparing the strength of beams, columns, and joints constituting standard school buildings constructed in the 1980s. The evaluation was performed for different types of standard drawings and different material strengths. The results showed that the joint was mainly the weakest due to the eccentricity, and the failure modes were partially changed depending on the material strength.

원자력 발전소에 지진격리장치를 설치하여 내진성능을 향상시킬 수 있다. 그러나 지진격리장치의 적용으로 지반과 구조물 사이에서 큰 상대 변위가 발생하게 된다. 따라서 지진격리된 구조물과 일반 구조물을 연결하는 연결배관시스템의 경우 지진리스크가 증가할 수 있다. 따라서 이러한 배관시스템의 지진취약도를 분석할 필요가 있다. 본 연구에서는 지진취약도 분석 을 위해 지진격리된 APR1400 원자력발전소와 주증기관을 대상으로 지진취약도를 분석하였다. 주증기관은 지진격리된 nuclear island의 보조 건물과 터빈 건물을 연결하는 인터페이스 배관이다. 지진취약도 분석을 위한 파괴모드는 누출관통균열로 정의하였다. 누출은 실험결과와 수치해석을 통해 손상지수로 정량화하여 취약도 분석을 위한 파괴기준으로 사용하였다. 파괴기준의 변동에 의한 취약도 곡선의 변동성을 확인하기 위하여 손상지수의 최솟값, 최댓값, 평균값 및 중앙값을 파괴기준으로 하여 지진취약도 곡선을 작성하였다.

In this study, analyzed the cause of failure of the cardan shaft for water propulsion of an armored wheeled vehicle. During the development test(DT), the vehicle was deflected to the left on the water. As a result of the confirmation, increasing angular displacement and abrasion of SPIDER(Universal joint) occurred. As a result of a structure analysis and torsion fracture test, cause of failure is not insufficient design and strength deficit of each parts. and as a result of a simulation review of the assembly layout of each part, it was confirmed that excessive rotational vibration occurred. In order to solve this problem, improved the assembly layout of the water propulsion system and the worn SPIDER lubrication. Since there has been no occurrence of the same case between military operations so far, it has been confirmed that the improvement plan is appropriate.

PURPOSES : The objective of this study is to understand blow-up distress and causes in concrete pavement. METHODS : Feasible causes of blow-up and existing models were reviewed based on the literature. Three analytical models were adopted to perform a sensitivity analysis. Input parameters reflected the typical concrete pavement of national expressways. Evaluation of blow-up models was based on the amount of temperature increase and zero stress temperature of the concrete pavement. RESULTS : A review of the literature indicated that the five major causes of blow-up were: increase in temperature and solar radiation, alkaliaggregate reaction (AAR), friction characteristics between the concrete slab and subbase, joint closure (incompressible), and joint freezing. The sensitivity analysis revealed that the coefficient of thermal expansion had the greatest influence on the blow-up safety temperature. CONCLUSIONS : From existing blow-up model results, it could be concluded that the construction of concrete pavement during the winter season was not effective at preventing blow-up. In addition, an equivalent coefficient of thermal expansion that considers slab expansion due to AAR was proposed as a model input parameter for concrete pavement sections damaged by AAR.
