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.

This study is to deal with a failure phenomenon that occurred during a vibration test on an Inertial Navigation System mounted on a self-propelled howitzer. Vibration occurs naturally due to the operation characteristics of self-propelled howitzers, The study describes a case of failure that occurred during the durability verification process. It explains the function and configuration of the INS(Inertial Navigation System) and describe how the failure occurred through understanding the phenomenon. Based on the occurrence phenomenon, an in-depth cause analysis was conducted and fundamental improvement measures were presented to prevent recurrence. It is expected that this study will aid as a reference for problem solving when similar failures occur in the future.
