RISFurther Details of a Numerical Analysis on the Thermal Hydraulic Effect of Wrapped Wire Spacers in Fuel Bundle
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The application of relatively simple and cheap wrapped wire spacer in the European supercritical water-cooled reactor (SCWR) (high-performance light water reactor (HPLWR)) has been proposed in order to provide enhanced ...
Numerical Stability Analysis of a Forced Two-D.O.F. Oscillator With Bilinear Damping
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The current paper investigates the nonlinear stationary oscillations of a quarter vehicle model with two degrees of freedom subjected to a vertical road excitation. The damping of the wheel ...
Vehicle-Guideway Interaction in Maglev Systems Using a Continuously Coupled, Deformable Model
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Magnetic levitation (maglev)-based high-speed trains are one of the most promising means of transport for the near future. To optimize the relatively high investment cost of these networks, engineers need to develop accurate ...
Approximate Analysis of Bridges for the Routing and Permitting Procedures of Overweight Vehicles
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: The paper presents a method for comparing the mechanical effects of overweight and design load vehicles on bridges. There is no restriction on the arrangement of the axles and on the size of the axle loads. The bridge may ...
Routing and Permitting Techniques of Overweight Vehicles
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Overweight vehicles require permits to cross the highway bridges, which are designed for “design load vehicles” (prescribed in the national standards). A new, fast, and robust method is presented for the verification of ...
Effect of Quarls on the Blowout Stability and Emission of Pollutants of a Liquid-Fueled Swirl Burner
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Stringent emissions standards for NOx and carbon monoxide (CO) prompt lean combustor development. With this motivation, combustion stability issues emerge since the desired operating point approaches the lean blowout limit. ...
Effect of Subsurface Microstructures on Adhesion of Highly Confined Elastic Films
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Polymer adhesive films sandwiched between two rigid solids are a common bonding strategy. The mechanics and consequently the adhesion of such geometrically confined films depend mainly on their thickness, Young's modulus, ...
About the Thermal Hydraulic Analysis Part of a Coupled Study on a Thorium-Fueled SCWR Concept
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Inherently poorer moderation in supercritical water-cooled reactors (SCWRs) due to average density lower than in light water reactors and the resulted spectral shift can be useful when we apply thorium fuel-cycle instead ...
Development of Delphi-Type Compact Thermal Models for Opto-Electronic Packages
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In the current study, a network-based resistor model has been developed for thermal analysis of a complex opto-electronic package called small form-factor pluggable device (SFP). This is done ...
Relation between Global Damage Indices and Local Stiffness Degradation
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Global damage indices based on equivalent modal parameters are defined using the vibrational parameters of an equivalent linear structure. In continuum mechanics‐based damage models, effects of the growth and coalescence ...
