Interfacial characteristics of aluminum borate whisker reinforced AS52 matrix composite was investigated. Peak hardness of AS52 composite was obtained aging at $170^{\circ}C$ for 15h and the aging process was accelerated by the presence of the aluminium borate whisker. The MgO layer, which was the interfacial reaction product between the reinforcement and the Mg matrix, was produced with 20 nm thickness in as-cast condition. As the aging time increased, the thickness of the interfacial reaction layer increased to 50 nm in peak aged condition. The nano-indentation test results indicated that the strength of interface was improved by the aging but over-aging degraded the reinforcement and decreased the interfacial strength which resulted in the decrease of overall composite strength.

Objective: To investigate the age-dependent changes in regional cerebral blood flow (CBF) in healthy adults by fitting mathematical models to imaging data. Materials and Methods: In this prospective study, 90 healthy adults underwent pseudo-continuous arterial spin labeling imaging of the brain. Regional CBF values were extracted from the arterial spin labeling images of each subject. Multivariable regression with the Akaike information criterion, link test, and F test (Ramsey's regression equation specification error test) was performed for 7 models in every brain region to determine the best mathematical model for fitting the relationship between CBF and age. Results: Of all 87 brain regions, 68 brain regions were best fitted by cubic models, 9 brain regions were best fitted by quadratic models, and 10 brain regions were best fitted by linear models. In most brain regions (global gray matter and the other 65 brain regions), CBF decreased nonlinearly with aging, and the rate of CBF reduction decreased with aging, gradually approaching 0 after approximately 60. CBF in some regions of the frontal, parietal, and occipital lobes increased nonlinearly with aging before age 30, approximately, and decreased nonlinearly with aging for the rest of life. Conclusion: In adults, the age-related perfusion patterns in most brain regions were best fitted by the cubic models, and age-dependent CBF changes were nonlinear.

This paper proposes methods to incorporate station related aging failures in composite system reliability assessment. Aging failures of station components, such as circuit breakers and bus bars, are a major concern in composite power system planning and operation as an increasing number of station components approach the wear-out phase. This paper presents probabilistic models for circuit breakers involving aging failures and relevant evaluation techniques to examine the effects of station related aging outages. The technique developed to incorporate station related aging failures are illustrated by application to a small composite test system. The paper illustrates the effects of circuit breaker aging outages on bulk system reliability evaluation and examines the relative effects of variations in component age. System sensitivity analysis is illustrated by varying selected component parameters. The results show the implications of including component aging failure considerations in the overall analysis of a composite system.

일반적으로, 태양광모듈은 20년 이상의 장기간 동안 사용할 수 있다고 알려져 있지만, 설치된 주변 환경요인(염분, 온도, 습도, 자외선, 음영 등)에 따라 다양한 열화현상이 발생하여, 전기적 성능과 수명이 크게 감소할 수 있어 태양광 모듈에 대한 정확한 열화특성 분석이 요구되고 있다. 그러나, 태양광모듈의 출력을 STC조건으로 보정하여 초기 사양과 비교분석하는 기존의 열화특성 분석방법은 데이터 보정 시 필연적으로 발생하는 데이터 오류로 인하여 객관성이 결여될 수 있다. 따라서, 본 논문에서는 태양광전원 모듈부와 모니터링부로 구성된 열화진단 시험장치를 구축하여 모듈별 출력 데이터를 측정 및 수집하고, 태양광모듈의 출력 변동성과 통신 에러 및 지연에 따른 영향을 최소화하기 위하여, MATLAB을 이용한 열화특성 분석 모델링을 통하여 실측 데이터를 평활화한다. 또한, 이를 바탕으로 태양광모듈의 열화 상태를 계절별 실측 출력특성에 따라 분석한 결과, 전체 구형모듈의 평균 열화율은 총 25.73%이고, 연평균 1.55%씩 열화됨을 진단할 수 있어, 본 논문에서 구축한 열화진단 시험장치의 유용성을 확인하였다.

Korean population has been rapidly aging. Most of people regard the aging population as future crisis due to the rate of change and agree to prepare for a soft-landing on aging society in South Korea. Particularly, the aging population growth in rural areas is much faster than urban areas. Also rural areas relatively have poorer social and economic conditions so the countermeasures for population aging considering related social and economic indices are required. Moreover, each rural region has the different preparedness level for rural aging based on regional socio-economic characteristics. In this study, we analyzed correlations of the rural aging rate and local characteristics and developed an evaluation index to show the regional preparedness status for rural aging. To test the applicability of developed indicators, we applied them to 161 rural regions and assessed regional preparedness level for rural aging. This study would provide basic data for establishing policies for rural aging.

현재 대부분 사용되고 있는 반발경도법을 이용한 강도 추정식을 서울의 대표적인 지하구조물에 적용할 경우 준공년도에 따른 재령계수의 적용이 부적합한 것으로 판단됨에 따라 본 연구에서는 최근 8년간 수행된 서울지하철 정밀안전진단결과를 이용하여 코어의 일축압축강도와 동일위치에서 실시된 반발경도 시험결과와의 상관관계에 준공년도를 고려하여 공용중인 박스 및 터널구조물에 대한 합리적인 강도평가 추정식을 제시하였다.

The danger of self-ignition of single base propellants will increase with time. Therefore, a good prediction of the safe storage time is very important. In order to determine the remaining shelf-life of the propellants, the content of stabilizer is determined. The propellants stored under normal storage conditions about 10 to 18 years were investigated and accelerated aging test was carried out by storing propellant sample at higher temperature. Finally, we analyzed the results by various methods in order to show the best way to predict the realistic shelf-life. The safe storage life of the propellants will be 24 years, at least 15 years. In case of applying Arrhenius's law, using the reaction rate constant at 28$^{\circ}C$ to 30$^{\circ}C$ to predict the shelf-life by accelerated aging test is reasonable for a good prediction.

As huge energy transfer systems like a nuclear power plant, steam power plant and petrochemical plant are operated for a long time, mechanical properties are changed by degradation. The life time of the systems can be affected by the mechanical properties. So determination of the integrity of the metallic structure is required either to en4sure that failure will not occur during the service life of the components or to evaluate the lifetime extension of the structure. An automated ball indentation(ABI) method was developed as a non-destructive technique for evaluating the integrity of such metallic components. In this paper, we would like to present the aging evaluation technique by the ABI method. The five classes of the thermally aged CF8M specimens were prepared using an artificially accelerated aging method. After holding 100, 300, 900, 1800 and 3600 hours at 43$0^{\circ}C$, the specimens were cooled down using water to room temperature respectively. The tensile test, hardness test, charpy impact test, ABI test were performed. The results of the fracture test were compared with those of ABI test and the new evaluation technique of the integrity of metallic structures was developed.

고폭화약을 이용한 격벽형 착화기를 가속노화 후 성능시험을 수행하여 노화특성을 확인하였다. 격벽형 착화기는 마이크로 착화기에서 발생한 충격파가 격벽을 통해 엑셉터 화약과 점화 화약에 전달되어 동작한다. 제품에 대한 수명평가를 위해 수명연한에 따른 가속노화 조건을 설정하고, 매 주기마다 시료에 대한 점화 성능을 10cc 밀폐용기 시험을 통해 작동지연시간과 최대압력을 측정하여 요구규격 만족여부를 확인하였고, 분산분석을 통해 노화여부를 판단하였다.
