Abstract

The life of elevator wire ropes is one of the most important characteristics of an elevator, which is closely related to the safety of users and its maintenance policy. It is not cost effective to measure the lifetime of elevator wire ropes during their use. In this study, the life estimation of elevator wire ropes (8x19W-IWRC) is considered using accelerated degradation test data. A bending fatigue tester is used to perform the accelerated degradation tests, incorporating the acceleration factor of tensile force. Assuming that the life of wire ropes is log-normally distributed, two life estimation methods are suggested and their results are compared. The first method estimates the life of wire ropes utilizing the accelerated life model with pseudo lives obtained from a linear regression model. The second method estimates the life using a logistic model based on failure probability.

엘리베이터 와이어로프의 수명은 제품의 매우 중요한 특성 가운데 하나로서 사용자의 안전 및 장비의 정비 정책과 밀접한 관계가 있다. 엘리베이터 와이어로프의 수명을 사용조건에서 측정하는 것은 매우 비경제적이다. 이 연구에서는 엘리베이터 와이어로프 (8x19W-IWRC)의 가속열화시험 데이터를 활용하여 와이어로프의 수명을 추정하는 방법을 다루었다. 굽힘피로시험기를 이용하여 가속열화시험을 진행하였으며 가속변수로는 인장하중을 사용하였다. 와이어로프의 수명은 대수정규분포를 가정하였고, 선형회귀모형을 이용하여 가수명을 구한 후 가속수명모형을 이용하여 와이어로프의 수명을 추정하는 방법과 고장 확률에 대한 로지스틱 회귀모형을 이용하여 추정하는 방법을 제시하고 두 모형의 수명 추정결과를 비교하였다.
