미국의 원자력발전소는 당초 인가된 운전 기간은 40년이었으나 지금까지 많은 발전소가 운전 인가 갱신에 의해 운전 기간을 20년 연장하고 있다. 한편 일본에서는 발전소의 장기 운전을 가정한 고경년화 대책을 수립하고 있으며, 전력 회사는 고경년화 기술 평가 등 보고서를 작성하여 국가의 평가를 받고 있다. 이 분석에서는 경년 열화(經年劣化) 대책 상황을 조사하여 미.일 양국을 비교하였다. 그 결과 미국과 일본의 진행 방법, 배경, 노력(努力) 및 심사 기간 등에 다른 면이 있으나 미.일 모두 60년간의 장기 운전을 예정한 기기 등의 건전성 확인을 목적으로 하고 있는 면에서는 다름이 없다. 또, 원자력안전시스템연구소(INSS : Institute of Nuclear Safety System)의 해외 부적절한 데이터베이스를 이용한 경향 분석을 하고, 운전 인가 갱신신청의 유무가 기기 등의 경년 열화에 미치는 영향에 대해서분석 평가를 했다. 그 결과 인가 갱신 미신청 Unit에 경과년수의 증가에 수반하여 경년 열화 과실 발생 건수가 증가되는 향이 있는 것을 알았다. 이에 의해 미국의 인가 갱신 제도가 발전소의 고경년화 대응에 유효하게 기능하고 있다고 생각되어, 동등한 제도를 운용하고 있는 일본의 고경년화 대책의 유효성을 시사하는 것이었다.

그 동안 열화학 기상 증착법으로 고결정의 그래핀을 합성하는 연구가 많이 진행되었다. 더불어 그래핀을 소자로 이용하기 위해서는 합성하는 과정에서 그래핀의 모양 및 형태를 제어하는 방법이 필요하기 때문에 이와 관련된 연구들 또한 진행되었다. 일반적으로 그래핀의 모양은 촉매의 모양에 의존하기 때문에 촉매 금속의 패터닝에 관심이 집중되었고, 보다 작은 크기의 구조를 완성하기 위해 포토리소그래피(photolithography)법을 이용하는 것이 보편화 되었다. 본 연구에서는 촉매 금속을 이용하여 그래핀을 합성시, 촉매 표면에 잔여하는 유기물(포토리소공정으로 인해 발생하는 잔여물)이 열화학 기상 증착법으로 그래핀을 합성하는 방법에 문제를 야기한다는 것을 확인하였다. 이를 해결하기 위해 플라즈마를 이용하여 잔여 유기물을 제거하였고, 그에 따라 합성된 그래핀의 결정성이 향상되는 것을 확인하였다.

3상 PWM 컨버터에서 LCL필터 필름 커패시터는 Self-healing 메커니즘에 의해 열화가 진행되며, 이는 시스템의 필터성능과 역률 저하로 이어진다. 따라서 계통측 커패시터의 고장을 판단하고 교체시기를 결정하는 것이 필요하다. 본 논문에서는 정전용량의 80%에 해당하는 공진주파수를 한 주기 동안 주입하였을 때 나타나는 응답의 변화를 통해 커패시터의 열화고장진단 알고리즘을 제안하였다.

The rectangular waveguide technique can be used to measure the complex permittivity of dielectric material of various thickness and cross section. This paper presents the analysis system of engine oil permittivity at which deterioration of engine oil is measured at the X-band(8-12.5 GHz). The middle of the rectangular waveguide has engine oil case and is connected with VNA(Vector Network Analyzer) for the measurement of the transmission$(S_{21})$ and reflection$(S_11)$ and then the permittivity is extracted. The deterioration of engine oil is proved by the comparison with both the extracted data and reference data. As the additional research, This paper suggest that an accurate permittivity is considered by not only the wave guide length but the air gap between oil case and the waveguide.

In order to establish the speech transmission quality of networks, a series of subjective tests for loudness rating(LR) and sidetone masking rating(STMR) among transmission impairments were carried out. As a result of subjective tests, relationships of mean opinion score(MOS) with LR and STMR, respectively, were obtained. Also, we obtained the cumulative MOS characteristics which represent the percentage of scores that subjects voted. Thus it is easy to achieve a strategic objective of customer satisfaction for present networks and new services.

Although many waterproofing materials and techniques have been developed and applied, there is still a leakage in concrete structures. The main reason for the failure of waterproofing is due to the lack of consideration of the environmental conditions and the inconsistent performance requirement of the waterproofing materials in response to the complexity of the environmental conditions., and materials that are unsuitable to the environment are still being selected for usage due to their low price. Moreover, there is no valid test assessment for waterproofing materials to be used prior to actual application in the construction site. The development of a testing method and apparatus that can evaluate the composite waterproofing method is proposed in this paper and an interpretation method that can analyze the results of the evaluation.

One of the important trends for condition monitoring in the 21st century is the development of smart sensors that will permit the cost-effective continuous monitoring of key machine equipments. In this study, an integrated in-line oil monitoring sensor assigned for continuous in situ monitoring multiple parameters of oil performance is presented. The sensor estimates oil deterioration based on the information about chemical degradation, total contamination, water content of oil and oil temperature. The oil oxidation is estimated by "chromatic ratio", total contamination is measured by the changes in optical density of oil in three optical wave-bands ('Red', 'Green' and 'Blue') and water content is evaluated as relative saturation of oil by water. In order to evaluate the sensor's effectiveness, the sensor was applied to several used oil samples in steel making industry and the results were compared with those measured by standard test methods.

This study proposed a new non-destructive evaluation method for concrete bridge deck deterioration using ground penetrating radar (GPR). To calculate dielectric constant of the concrete bridge deck, an extended common mid-point (XCMP) method was developed for a two-layered structure using an air-coupled GPR antenna setup. The deterioration conditions of the concrete bridge deck such as deterioration depth was evaluated based on the dielectric constant and surface-to-average dielectric constant ratio of the concrete bridge deck. A GPR field test was conducted on an old concrete bridge with asphalt concrete surfacing to validate the new evaluation method. The test results showed that the newly proposed method estimated pavement thickness and deterioration depth of the concrete deck in a reasonable level.

In this work, a simple and low cost sensor technique is proposed to test oil color in real time using in-line sensor. It is presented to use a ratio of intensity in red wavelength range to intensities of green and blue wavelength ranges (defined as a 'chromatic ratio') in order to estimate the oil color change. The proposed sensor technique is realized by irradiating a white LED as light source and a RGB color sensor as photoreceiver, and the chromatic ratio of various types of used oils are measured. The results show that chromatic ratio generally reflects chemical deterioration of oil, including oil oxidation and thermal degradation. It is concluded that the proposed sensor could be used for an effective oil monitoring technology.

In this study, we tried to develop a method of accelerated degradation of the electrode by simply using a electronic loader without using a potentiostat to evaluate the durability of the electrode catalyst. To this end, the durability of the electrode was evaluated by repeating the stepwise voltage change using the self-generated voltage by introducing oxygen without introducing nitrogen into the cathode. For accurate electrode durability evaluation, that is, in order not to deteriorate the polymer membrane, the high voltage was lowered to 0.9 V in stepwise voltage change and the relative humidity was 100% to suppress degradation of the polymer membrane due to radicals. After 30,000 cycles (50 hours) of voltage change, the electrode active area decreased by 41.4%. It was confirmed that the electrode was deteriorated, but the polymer membrane was not deteriorated, that there was no increase in hydrogen permeability, no decrease in membrane thickness, and no increase in HFR(High Frequency Resistance).
