모래의 aging 현상은 점성토에 비하여 무시할 정도로 매우 작아서 최근까지 연구되지 않았다. 그러나 퇴적이나 교란 후 시간경과에 따라 관입저항치의 증가가 관찰되면서 현장시험을 중심으로 모래의 aging 효과에 대하여 활발한 조사가 이루어졌고, 최근에는 현장시험뿐만 아니라 실내시험에서도 여러 연구자들에 의해 모래의 aging 효과가 규명 되어지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 모래의 비배수 정적전단거동에 대한 aging 효과를 살펴보기 위해 낙동강 모래를 이용하여 상대밀도 $(D_r)$, 압밀응력비$(K_c)$ 그리고 압밀시간을 달리하여 비배수 정적삼축압축시험을 실시하였다. 그 결과 응력-변형률의 탄성구간내 탄성계수가 압밀시간 경과에 따라 증가하는 것으로 나타났으며, 또한 상전이점 강도$(S_{PT})$와 한계응력비점 강도$(S_{CSR})$도 압밀시간 경과에 따라 증가하였다. 그러나 간극수압비$(u/{p_c}')$는 압밀시간에 비례하게 감소하는 등 모래의 정적전단에서 나타나는 aging 효과를 관찰할 수 있었다.

The materials characteristics and lifetime evaluation are very important in design procedure to assure the safety and reliability of rubber components. This paper discusses the failure mechanism and material test were carried out to predict the useful life of NBR and EPDM rubber mount for compression motor which is used in refrigerator. In order to investigate the heat-aging effects on the materials properties, stress-strain curve were obtained from the results of material tests. Compression set results changes as the threshold are used for assessment of useful life and the time were plotted against reciprocal of absolute temperature to give the Arrhenius plot.

This paper presents the impact of time dependent dielectric breakdown (TDDB, also called as gate oxide breakdown) failure on nanoscale digital CMOS Circuits. Recently, TDDB for ultra-thin gate oxides has been considered as one of the critical reliability issues which can lead to performance degradation or logic failures in nanoscale CMOS devices. Also, leakage power in the standby mode can be increased significantly. In this paper, TDDB aging effects on large CMOS digital circuits in the 45nm technology are analyzed. Simulation results show that TDDB effect on MOSFET circuits can result in more significant increase of power consumption compared to delay increase.

Polymer insulators are used widely in variable fields for high voltage insulation and separating people from high voltage charging parts for safety and also supporting overhead power line in electric railway. But it may be broken down by tracking path resulting from continuous surface discharge. This paper has investigated synthetically both the characteristics of electrical aging using precision CT(current transformer) and the thermal aging using thermography method. Electrical aging was analyzed for time-frequency region and thermal aging was illustrated by image processing method. This synthetic method may be an appropriate one to evaluate the surface degradation of polymer insulator.

As a part of stringent emission regulations, OBD on a converter is requested by EU and CARB. It demands that MIL is light-on to inform the failure to the driver when the converter is failed in its function. Usually dual oxygen sensor method is used for converter OBD. For this, detail methods, like amplitude ratio, time delay and frequency ratio methods are adapted for vehicle application. Actually, the cars produced later than MY94 for US market are using one of these methods. In this study, OSCs of converters are investigated with an absolute measuring method. The converters are aged with a furnace aging, an engine bench aging and vehicle aging method to represent various aging condition in field applications. An OBD index that is used for TLEVs regulation is also investigated to find a relation between two parameters. The relations of these parameters with THC emission on vehicle are evaluated.

Substation facilities have become extremely large and complex parts of electric power systems. The development of condition monitoring and diagnosis techniques has been a very significant factor in the improvement of substation transformer security. This paper presents a method to analyze the cause, the degree, and the aging process power transformers by the Self Organizing Map (SOM) method. Dissolved gas data were non-linearly transformed by the sigmoid function in SOM that works much the same way as the human decision making process. The potential for failure and the degree of aging of normal transformers are identified by using the proposed quantitative criterion. Furthermore, transformer aging is monitored by the proposed criterion for a set of transformers. To demonstrate the validity of the proposed method, a case study is performed and its results are presented.

In this study, the objective is to improve the criteria used for statistical comparison of the VLF tanδ (TD) database and failure rate according to water-tree degradation in underground distribution power cables. The aging condition of the KEPCO criteria is divided into 6 levels using the Weibull distribution, and the "failure imminent" condition is quantified by using the statistical end-point of the lifetime parameter of the VLF big-data group obtained from KEPCO. Moreover, new criteria with a 2-dimensional combination of TD, DTD, and a statistical normalized factor are suggested. These criteria exhibit high reproducibility for the detection of cables in an imminent failure state. Consequently, it is expected that the adoption of the extended VLF-2019 criteria will reduce the asset management cost of cable replacement compared to the VLF-2012 criteria of KEPCO.

The present study examined the effects of carbon monoxide (CO) intoxication and aging on learning and memory deficit in young($5{\sim}8$ weeks) and aged($52{\sim}66$ weeks) mice, using the step down and step through passive avoidance failure techniques. We also investigated the effects of ginseng saponins on memory deficit. Significant decrease in memory registration, retention and retrieval function in young mice and decrease in memory registration and retention function in aged mice were observed. Normal young mice were apt to perform to a great degree of passive avoidance response than normal aged mice, but there was no difference between both groups by CO exposure. Administration of ginseng saponins showed an improvement on passive avoidance failure induced by CO exposure.

The concepy of positive aging describles the adverse effects of age on the lifetime of units. Various aspects of this concepts are described in terms of conditional probability distribution of residual life times, failure rates, equilibrium distributions, etc. In this paper we will consider some partial ordering relations of life distribution under residual life functions and equilibrium distributions.

본 논문에서는 나노미티 기술에서 HCI와 BTI와 같은 노화 현상에 의해 야기되는 MOSFET 디지털 회로의 실패를 정확히 예측을 위한 플립플롭 기반의 온-칩 노화 센싱 회로를 제안한다. 제안된 센싱 회로는 순차회로의 가드밴드 (guardband) 위반에 대한 경고를 나타내는 타이밍 윈도우를 이용해서 노화에 의한 회로의 동작 실패 전에 경고 비트를 발생한다. 발생된 비트는 고신뢰의 시스템 설계를 위한 적응형 셀프-튜닝 방법에서 제어 신호로 사용될 것이다. 노화 센싱 회로는 0.11um CMOS 기술을 사용해서 구현되었고, 파워-게이팅 구조를 가지는 $4{\times}4$ 곱셈기에 의해서 평가되었다.
