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.

System condensation technique improves the efficiency of the inverse perturbation method of damage detection developed in the previous work. The technique is applied to transform the unmeasured DOFs to the measured DOFs. This approach makes it possible to eliminate the unmeasured DOFs, which accelerates the computational efficiency. The numerical instability problems due to the system condensation technique are also resolved by updating the transformation matrix for each step, and also by adopting the accelerated improved reduced system(AIRS) condensation method.

A selection method of primary degrees of freedom in dynamic condensation for nonproportional damping structures is proposed. Recently, many dynamic condensation schemes for complex eigenanalysis have been applied to reduce the number of degrees of freedom. Among them, iterative scheme is widely used because accurate eigenproperties can be obtained by updating the transformation matrix in every iteration. However, a number of iteration to enhance the accuracy of the eigensolutions may have a possibility to make the computation cost expensive. This burden can be alleviated by applying properly selected primary degrees of freedom. In this study, which method for selection of primary degrees of freedom is best fit for the iterative dynamic condensation scheme is presented through the results of a numerical experiment. The results of eigenanalysis of the proposed method is also compared to those of other selection schemes to discuss a computational effectiveness.

A theoretical model for laminar filmwise condensation along an isothermal vertical wall at constant pressure has been formulated on the basis of conservation laws and other fundamental physical principles. The model was applied to the prediction of the influences of variable thermophysical properties of liquid and vapor layers in the filmwise condensation of superheated vapor of Rl2, R134a, R142b and R152a. The dimensionless velocity component method was employed in the transformation of the governing equations and their boundary conditions, and the polynomial method was used for treating variable thermophysical properties of liquid and vapor. Physical quantities, such as the dimensionless thickness of the liquid layer, local heat transfer rate and mean heat transfer coefficient, were investigated for different values of the superheated temperature of the stagnant vapor far from the wall. It was found that the value of mean heat transfer coefficient of R134a was higher than other refrigerants for the change of the superheated temperature.

For digital image compression, various fractal image coding schemes using the self-similarity of image have been studied extensively. This paper discusses the problem that occurs during the calculating process of adaptive orthogonal transformation and provides improvements of LIFS coding scheme using the transformation. This proposed scheme has a better performance than JPEG for a wide range of compression ratio. This research also proposes an image composition method consisting of all domains of the transformation. The results show that the arithmetic operation processes of the encoder and the decoder become much smaller even without the distortion of the coding performance.

Fe-Ni alloy nanoparticles were prepared by ERC (Evaporation and Rapid Condensation) method, and the crystal structure and the behavior of martensite for the nanosized alloy particles were investigated by X-ray diffraction analysis. The relation between the rate of martensite transformation and the internal strain of austenite was discussed. The lattice spaces of austenite and martensite for the nanoparticles agreed with those of the bulk materials. The rate of martensite transformation from austenite and the internal strain of austenite was reduced with decreasing the average size of Fe-Ni nanoparticles. It was thought that the residual austenite in the Ni content range of 11∼l5at% was caused by the internal strain, and the residual martensite in the Ni content range of 32∼36at% had its origin in the high surface energy of nanoparticles.

The chemistry background of the Maillard reaction focused on pyrazines and factors affecting the reaction products were reviewed. The Maillard reaction, also called a non-enzymatic browning reaction, is quite complex and generates numerous reaction products. In processed foods, it is generally accepted as a key reaction to produce flavor components. Specially, pyrazines possess an important impact character on the roasted foods with other heterocyclic compounds. The Maillard reaction is initiated by condensation between reducing sugar and amino group, and N-glycosylamines are produced via Schiff base with dehydration of water. After the rearrangement of the N-glycosylamines, they follow transformation into deoxyhexosones which are reactive intermediates. Degradation and fragmentation are facilitated by rearranged compounds. By condensation, pyrazine, one of the final Maillard products, is generated as a relatively stable form to provide specific aromas. During the processes of the reaction, chemical or physical environmental parameters affect the formation of the products.

The systematic method to construct equivalent static load from the given dynamic load is proposed in the present study. Previously reported works to construct equivalent static load were based on ad hoc methods. They may results in unreliable structural design. The present study proposes a selection scheme of degrees of freedom(d.o.f) for imposing the equivalent static loads. The d.o.fs are selected by Two-level condensation scheme(TLCS). TLCS consists of two two-steps. The first step is the energy estimation in element-level and the second step consists of the traditional sequential elimination precudure. Through several numerical examples, the efficiency and reliability of proposed scheme is verified.

In the present study of IGC (Inert Gas Condensation) evaporation-condensation processing study, the effects of IGC convection gas on the crystallographic structure, size and shape of tin oxide nanoparticles were investigated. In addition, the phase transformation of tin oxide nanoparticles was studied after heat treatment. IGC processing was conducted at 1000℃ for 1 hr. The mixture gas of oxygen and helium was used as a convection gas. Metastable tetragonal SnO nanoparticles were obtained at a lower convection gas pressure, whereas amorphous tin oxide nanoparticles were obtained at a higher one. The formation of amorphous phase could be explained by the rapid quenching of the vaporized atoms. The resultant nanoparticles size was about 10 nm with a rounded shape. The tin oxide nanoparticles prepared by IGC were almost transformed to the stable tetragonal SnO₂ after heat treatment.

Using the residence time calculated by computer simulation for temperature and gas velocity distribution in CVC reactor, the kinetics on the formation of $TiO_2$ nano powder was analyzed for coagulation process, After abrupt increase of particle size at initial growth stage (< 0.2 $\mus$ ), the particle grew in proportion of cubic root to time. The numerically calculated particle sizes well agreed with the experimental results. However, the coarse rutile $TiO_2$ powders having the particle size of over 40 nm were formed on the surface of quratz rod in the reactor. it is thought that the fine anatase particles condensed on quratz rod were sintered in a heated CVC reactor to grow and transform to coarse rutile phase, and the critical size for phase transformation anstase-to-rutile was around 25 nm tn this study.
