Aging effect on the cardiovascular circulation is simulated by lumped parameter model. Aging phenomena can be hemodynamically explained as (1) the increase of flow resistance induced by remodeling of artery vessels and increased viscosity of blood and (2) the reduction of the vessel capacitance caused by arteriosclerosis. Appropriate physiological parameters are evaluated from the clinical data of adults and old men. Simulation results well explain the hypertension with aging of cardiovascular system.

Aging characteristics of the crosslinked polyethylene have been measured after applying electrical, thermal and combined stresses. ICP and FT-IR measurements confirmed diffusion of low molecular weight components such as antioxidant and presence of carbonyl group. Carbonyl group of aged crosslinked polyethylene under combined stress was detected by FT-IR. As deterioration of the crosslinked polyethylene progresses, crystallinity degree and density decrease. Also, dielectric properties have been measured by tan $\delta$ and $\varepsilon$$_{r}$ measurements. The three-parameter Weibull distribution was found to be the best suited among other probabilistic distribution representing the dielectric breakdown strength of aged crosslinked polyethylene. The scale parameter and location parameter decreases as the applied stress increases. The shape parameter increases as the stress increases.s.

The long-term aging of ferritic 2.25CrMo steel was characterized using the acoustic nonlinear effect in order to apply to diagnose the degradation behavior of structural materials. We measured the acoustic nonlinearity parameter for each thermally aged specimen by the higher harmonic-generation technique. The acoustic nonlinearity parameter increased with aging time due to equilibrium M6C carbide precipitation, and has a favorable linear relation with Rockwell hardness. This study suggests that acoustic nonlinearity testing may be applicable to diagnostics on strength degradation in rotor steels.

for many years already, testing laboratories, research institutes and manufactures try to find a reliable water tree accelerated ageing test that is able to show whether a polymer Medium Voltage cable os susceptible to water treeing or not. Test on laboratory samples, model cable designs, and fell size cable are presented. Apart form aging, another important aspect of any accelerated aging test is the right choice of th preconditioning method. THTS paper is the analysis of weibull distribution method after an accelerated aging test of MV(Medium Cable) cable.

Converter transformers play important roles in high-voltage direct current transmission systems. This paper presents experimental and analysis results of the combined electrical and thermal aging of oil-impregnated paper at pulsating DC voltages. Breakdown voltages and time-to-breakdown of oil-paper specimens were measured by using short-time and constant-stress tests. The breakdown characteristics of combined electrical and thermal aging on insulation system were discussed. According to the relationship between failure time and aging temperature, the two-parameter Weibull model was improved. On the basis of the competing risk algorithm and the improved Weibull model, the two factors failure model was calculated. And the influence of temperature in the insulation system has been analyzed. This model performs better than the two-parameter Weibull model when both time and temperature are considered as variables in estimating the lifetime of oil-paper insulation.

In order to improve the reliability of XLPE cables, it is necessary to find the useful diagnostic parameter according to long term aging. This paper described the change of partial discharge(PD) phase Properties of XLPE cable insulation with branch type electrical tree degradation. for long term aging. To understand the PD Properties with $\phi$ -q-n distributed shape of XLPE insulation, specimens were prepared by 22.9㎸ distribution cable and made in a type of block(16${\times}$16${\times}$3[mm]). Ogura needles having tip radius of l0${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ were inserted into each block pieces. The measuring system was consisted of PD detector, digitizer for digital conversion, VXI system for signal processing. The PD properties of the specimens were measured from initiation of tree to breakdown and their characteristics were analyzed. We analyzed the relationship between electrical properties(PD Quantity, PD initiation angle, PD extinction angle, PD occurrence angle : (PD extinction angle - PD initiation angle)) and the normalized aging rate. We found PD parameter, PD initiation angle and occurrence angle, which are a useful diagnostic parameter in estimating the branch type electrical tree for XLPE insulation condition.

Mechanical properties of in-service facilities are required to evaluate the integrity of power plants and chemical plants. Non-destructive technique can be used to evaluate the mechanical properties. To investigate the mechanical properties using ultrasonic technique, the four classes of thermally aged specimens were prepared using an artificially accelerated aging method. Ultrasonic tests, tensile tests, fracture toughness tests, and hardness tests were performed for the specimens. Then the mechanical properties were compared with ultrasonic parameters such as attenuation and non-linear parameter. From the investigation, we confirm that the ultrasonic parameter can be used to evaluate the mechanical properties.

In this paper, a new efficient feature extraction method based on Daubechies discrete wavelet transform is presented. This paper especially deals with the assessment of process statistical parameter using the features extracted from the wavelet coefficients of measured acoustic emission signals. Since the parameter assessment using all wavelet coefficients will often turn out leads to inefficient or inaccurate results, we selected that level-3 stage of multi decomposition in discrete wavelet transform. We make use of the feature extraction parameter namely, maximum value of acoustic emission signal, average value, dispersion, skewness, kurtosis, etc. The effectiveness of this new method has been verified on ability a diagnosis transformer go through feature extraction in stage of aging(the early period, the middle period, the last period)

본 연구에서는 열처리된 알루미늄 합금의 초음파 비선형 특성을 평가하였다. 초음파의 비선형성은 재료를 전파한 초음파의 2차고조파와 기본주파수 성분의 진폭비에 의존하는 비선형 파라미터 ${\beta}$로 측정하였다. 비선형 파라미터 ${\beta}$의 측정은 접촉식 탐촉자를 이용하여 동일 평면상에서 시편저면에서 반사된 신호로부터 구하였다. 열처리(시효)는 $300^{\circ}C$에서 1시간부터 50시간까지 다양한 유지시간동안 수행하였다. 인장시험으로부터 인장강도와 연신율을 구하고 비선형 파라미터와 비교하였다. 비선형 파라미터 ${\beta}$는 시효시간 5시간에서 피크를 나타내고 이후는 감소하였다. 이는 인장강도와 연신율의 변화와 밀접한 관련이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 비선형 파라미터가 피크를 나타낸 열처리 시간과 인장곡선에서 최대변화가 나타난 열처리 시간이 일치하였다. 이 같은 결과는 알루미늄합금의 시효처리로 인한 강도 변화를 모니터링 하는데 초음파의 비선형성이 유용할 수 있음을 보여준다.

Ultra-high performance (UHP) tires, for which demand has recently surged, are subject to severe strain conditions due to the low aspect ratio of their sidewalls. It is important to ensure sidewall material durability, since a sudden tire sidewall breakage during vehicle operation is likely to cause a major accident. In the automotive application of rubber parts, cracking is defined as a failure because when cracks occur, the mechanical properties of rubber change. According to Mars, Andre et al., strain and strain energy density (SED) are mainly used as a failure parameters and the SED is generally used as a fatigue damage parameter. In this study, the fatigue life curves of sidewall rubber of tires were determined by using the SED as fatigue damage parameter while the effect of aging on fatigue life was evaluated after obtaining the SED-Nf curves according to aging condition.
