Recently, as the number of years of operation has increased for more than 30 years, interest in evaluating the remaining life of major power facilities such as transformers and ultra-high voltage cables is increasing. In particular, the risk of failure is increasing because the underground transmission XLPE cable has been built since 1980 and has been operating in excess of 30 years of design life or close proximity. Therefore, it is necessary to develop an algorithm to evaluate the residual life of the XLPE cable considering the load to determine the risk of failure. Since load data is large amount of data, it is necessary to make the variable load information equivalent to the time unit first in order to calculate the remaining life of the system quickly. In overseas literature, transformers are reported to be standardized for variable load equivalent conversion formulas, but they have not been reported for ultra-high voltage cables. Therefore, in this paper, whether the equivalent conversion formula of a transformer can be applied to XLPE cables was reviewed through accelerated degradation tests under equivalent and variable temperature conditions, and considerations were studied when evaluating the remaining operating life of XLPE cables based on the experimental results.

In this paper, the vibration characteristics of the trapezoidally corrugated plate are investigated by the analytical method. The corrugated plate is widely used as the structural elements because of its high stiffness and light weight. Because the corrugated plate is flexible in the corrugation direction and stiff in the transverse direction, it is treated as an equivalent orthotropic plate to analyze the corrugated plate simply. This equivalent plate must include both extensional and flexural effect to obtain the precise solution. The effective extensional and flexural stiffness of the equivalent plate are derived to consider these effects in the analysis. To demonstrate the validity of the proposed approach, the comparison is made with the previously published results and ANSYS solutions. Some numerical results are presented to check the effect of the geometric properties.

The refractory-lined pipe is used to protect the system from high-temperature of the internal flow. The property of the refractory has an effect upon the stress analysis for fluid catalytic cracking(FCC) unit piping design. The equivalent elastic modulus and density considering steel and refractory must be applied in the stress analysis of the system. In the research, the theoretical method to obtain the value of the equivalent property is introduced and then the parametric analysis is carried out to understand the characteristic of the material properties, and the stress analysis is performed with reactor, the part of FCC unit.

In this paper, the bending characteristics of the corrugated plates is analyzed. The trapezoidally, triangularlly and sinusoidally corrugated plates are considered. The corrugated plate is treated as an orthotropic plate that has different flexural properties in two perpendicular directions. The equivalent bending and twisting rigidities for the equivalent orthotropic plates are derived. The equivalent flexural rigidities are estimated under the following postulations: (1) The angle of continuously corrugated plate is not changed after the deformation. (2) When the pure bending moment is applied in corrugated direction of the plate, the its plane is in pure bending. Several numerical examples are analyzed with the proposed method and compared with published results.

Among many structural dynamics modification methods for plate and shell vibration problems, embedding an emboss to the surface is very efficient. But deciding an optimal position and shape using optimization algorithm needs defining geometry and remeshing the model for every iteration step to implement the method, which takes much numerical cost. An equivalent element produced here lessen the cost by representing the geometrical characteristics of an emboss using the element's material properties and thickness becoming a geometrically homogenous element of the base plate or shell. Some efficient factors which let the equivalent system have the same dynamical response as the original system embedded with emboss will be shown and the degree of equivalence will be tested in terms of natural frequency matching.

The acoustic power reduction method can be used to design a quiet structure. To calculate the acoustic power radiated from a vibrating structure, the dynamic responses have to be determined. It is not easy to analyse the structure composed of the corrugated panels because of the structural complexity and the long analysing time. To make up for these defects, the equivalent orthotropic panel is presented. Also the acoustic power prediction method of the vibrating structures is proposed. As examples, the equivalent material properties of the corrugated plates are obtained and the acoustic powers of the floor structure are calculated at several frequency regions for the Korean High Speed Train.

An equivalent linearization technique based on Rayleigh peak distribution for friction damper and brace system (FDBS) under stochastic excitation is proposed. For verification, shaking table test of a small scale 3-story building model with the FDBS is conducted for various slip moment levels. Using experimental result, equivalent linearization of the FDBS is conducted based on Rayleigh peak distribution, which is compared with measured peak distribution. For comparative study, model updating technique is applied based on identified modal properties. Finally, complex modal analysis and time history analysis for the obtained equivalent linear systems are conducted and compared with experimental result.

In this study capacitance and dielectric loss tan${\delta}$were measured with frequency changes for commercial $Z_nO$ varistors with pin-type leads and equivalent circuit simulation was proposed. The leakage inductance in pin leads and the stray caoacitance could be seperated from the dielectric characteristics of $Z_nO$ varistors by the simulation of equivalent circuit. The equivalent circuit model considered semiconduction layer, dielectric layer and depletion layer as the grain boundary structure of varistor is well fitted to the observed data.

Masonry-infilled walls have been used in reinforced concrete(RC) frame structures as interior and exterior partition walls. Since these walls are considered as nonstructural elements, they were only considered as additional mass. However, infill walls tend to interact with the structure's overall strength, rigidity, and energy dissipation. Infill walls have been analyzed by finite element method or transposed as equivalent strut model. The equivalent strut model is a typical method to evaluate masonry-infilled structure to avoid the burden of complex finite element model. This study compares different strut models to identify their properties and applicability with regard to the characteristics of the structure and various material models.

The purpose of this paper is to study the some properties of fuzzy quasi-semiprime ideal, fuzzy prime ideals and to prove some fundamental properties of semigroups. In particular, we will establish a relation between fuzzy prime ideals and weakly completely semiprime ideals by using the some equivalent conditions of fuzzy semiprime ideals.
