In this paper, we introduce an efficient new model reduction method, named the automated static condensation method, which is developed for the local analysis of large finite element models. The algebraic multilevel substructuring procedure is modified appropriately, and then applied to the original static condensation method. The retained substructure, which is the local finite element model to be analyzed, is defined, and then the remaining part of the global model is automatically partitioned into many omitted substructures in an algebraic perspective. For an efficient condensation procedure, a substructural tree diagram and substructural sets are established. Using these, the omitted substructures are sequentially condensed into the retained substructure to construct the reduced model. Using several large practical engineering problems, the performance of the proposed method is demonstrated in terms of its solution accuracy and computational efficiency, compared to the original static condensation method and the superelement technique.

자유도 수가 많은 고층 구조물의 해석하기 위해 모든 층에 sensors를 설치하는 것은 비 실용적이다. 따라서 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 "reduced-order control" 방법이 소개되었다. 본 논문은 동적압축법(dynamic condensation method)이 제안되었다. 이 압축법은 반복법으로 "Guyan condensation"의 initial approximation을 적용하였다. 본 논문에서 제시된 동적압축법(dynamic condensation)은 원하는 값을 얻을 때까지 지속적으로 updated가 되며, 결과는 기존의 "Guyan condensation"보다 정확한 결과를 나타내었다. 또한 "eigenvalue shifting technique"을 적용하여 iteration으로 계산되는 시간을 크게 단축하였다. "Reduced-order system"을 도입하기 위한 두가지 schemes이 토의되었다. 제시된 동적압축법 효과의 증명을 위해 능동 동조질량감쇠 고층빌딩의 수치 해석이 토의되었고, 단지 두 번의 반복(iterations)을 통한 결과는 매우 정확한 것으로 나타났다.

In the previous study, the inverse perturbation method was used to identify structural damages. Because all unmeasured DOFs were considered as unknown variables, considerable computational effort was required to obtain reliable results. Thus, in the present study, a system condensation method is used to transform the unmeasured DOFs into the measured DOFs, which eliminates the remaining unmeasured DOFs to improve computational efficiency. However, there may still arise a numerically ill-conditioned problem, if the system condensation is not adequate for numerical Programming or if the system condensation is not recalibrated with respect to the structural changes. This numerical problem is resolved in the present study by adopting more accurate accelerated improved reduced system (AIRS) as well as by updating the transformation matrix at every step. The criterion on the required accuracy of the condensation method is also proposed. Finally, numerical verification results of the present accelerated inverse perturbation method (AIPM) are presented.

In order to compare the accessory canal filling effects of the three root canal filling methods with gutta-percha, the author fabricated artificial root canal mold with the first and second accessory canals of chrome-cobalt alloy. After the artificial root canal was filled with gutta-percha by lateral condensation, vertical condensation and low-temperature thermoplasticized gutta-percha injection-molded method, twenty five times respectively, the gutta-percha forced into the first and second accessory canals were measured with caliper for length. The results were as follows: 1. The filling in both accessory canals was most effective in low-temperature thermoplasticized gutta-percha injection-melded method followed in such order as: vertical condensation method and lateral condensation method (p < 0.01). 2. The filling effect of the second accessory canal was more or less higher than that of the first one (p < 0.05). 3. Low-temperature thermoplasticized gutta-percha injection-molded method was fastest in time needed for root canal filling followed by lateral condensation method and vertical condensation method.

본 연구에서는 역섭동법을 이용한 손상탐지의 효율을 개선하는 목적으로 시스템 축소기법을 사용하였다. 이 방법은 손상탐지의 미측정 자유도를 측정된 자유도로 변환하여 역섭동법의 계산효율이 향상되는 장점이 있으나, 부정확한 자유도의 변환으로 수치적인 안정성이 저하될 수 있다. 따라서 자유도 변환식을 수치해법 과정에서 반복적으로 개선하는 방법과, 매우 정확한 accelerated improved reduced system (AIRS) 축소법의 사용으로 역섭동법의 수치적 불안정성을 해결하였다.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the apical sealing ability of lateral condensation method, vertical condensation method, and MicroSeal obturation system. Sixty-four extracted anterior teeth were instrumented to #40 using Profile. Three groups of 20 teeth were obturated by lateral condensation technique, vertical condensation technique, and and MicroSeal obturation system. Control group were not obturated. Teeth were immersed in resorcinol-formaldehyde resin for 5 days at $4^{\circ}C$, and the resin was allowed to polymerize completely for 4 days at room temperature. Teeth were ground horizontally at 1,5mm(level 1), 2.5mm(level 2), and 3.5mm(level 3) from the anatomic apex and examined with a stereomicroscope at X40 magnification. The photographs were taken a at X40 magnification of the filling in each level and scanned. The leakage area, which was filled with the resin, was measured at each of the three levels. Each ratio of leakage was evaluated by calculating the ratio of thearea of the resin to the total area of the canal and was analyzed statistically. The results were as followed: 1. Vertical condensation group had significantly higher percentage of the area which was obturated by gutta percha than other two technique at each level. 2. At the level 1, there was the greatest leakage in the lateral condensation group, but there was no statistically significant(P>0.05) 3. At the level 2, there was the least leakage in the MicroSeal group, and the most leakage in the lateral condensation group. There was statistically significant difference between the MicroSeal group and the lateral condensation group(P<0.05). 4. At the level 3, there was least leakage in the vertical condensation group, and the most leakage in the lateral condensation group. There was statistically significant difference between the vertical condensation group and the lateral condensation group(P<0.05).

Water repellent surfaces may enhance the condensation by efficiently removing the condensed droplets. However, such surfaces may lose their original performance as they are exposed to external mechanical stresses. In this work, we fabricated spray-coated mechanically robust superhydrophobic surfaces using treated titanium dioxide (Type 1) or silica particles (Type 2). Then we compared the mechanical robustness of such surfaces with the silane-coated superhydrophobic surface and PEEK coated surface using a controlled-sand blasting method. The results show that the spray-coated samples can maintain the same level of the contact angle hysteresis than silane-coated superhydorphobic surface after sand blasting at 2 bar. The spray-coating method was applied to the tube type condenser and the condensation behaviors were observed within the environmental chamber with controlled pressure, humidity and non-condensable gas. Previously-reported droplet jumping was observed in the early stage of the condensation event, but soon the droplet jumping stopped and only dropwise condensation was observed since the condensed droplets were pinned on the cracks at spray-coated surfaces. The static contact angle decreases from $158.0^{\circ}$ to $133.2^{\circ}$, and hysteresis increases from $3.0^{\circ}$ to $23.5^{\circ}$ when active condensation occurs on such surfaces. This work suggests the benefits and limitation of spray-coated superhydrophobic condensers and help develop advanced condensers for practical use.

For the pleasant dwelling place, the most of apartments are designed with the increased green area ratio in ground space and the underground parking lot. However, the condensation in underground space has occasionally occurred due to the insufficient ventilation and insulation treatment. Despite reinforcement of the insulation treatment and mechanical ventilation for the preventing method of condensation. It seems difficult to expect preventing effects for the condensation without consideration of the thermal characteristic of structures. Furthermore, no fundamental measure has been established because maintenance work for these defects incurs a lot of costs and these defects could be occurred again. This study suggests a new method for preventing floor surface condensation through analyzing the reasons of condensation which occurred in the underground floor.

A solver for icing and condensation of water has been developed. The phase change process was solved by the enthalpy method. For the code validation, the temperature and the phase change from water to ice of the driven cavity were calculated. Also, the melting process of the frost on the windshield glass of an automobile has been simulated. The calculation showed a good agreement with analytical solution and other numerical results. Using the present validated code, the condensation of water vapor has been first tried. The computed results provided some physical features of condensation phenomena even though experimental data and other numerical data were not available. For future work, it is recommended to throughly investigate the effects of boundary conditions on the solution.

Ozone is a strong and useful oxidizing gas for the fabrication of oxide thin films. In order to obtain high quality oxide thin films, higher ozone concentration is necessary. In this paper an ozone condensation system was evaluated from the viewpoint of an ozone supplier for oxide thin film growth. Ozone was condensed by an adsorption method and the ozone concentration reached 8.5 mol% in 2.5 h after the beginning of the ozone condensation process, indicating high effectiveness of the condensation process. Ozone was continuously desorbed from the silica gel by the negative pressure. We found the decomposition in the ozone concentration negligible if the condensed ozone is transferred from the ozone condensation system to the film growth chamber within a few minutes.
