Abstract: Cumulative radiation embrittlement is one of the main causes for the degradation of pressurized water reactor (PWR) reactor pressure vessels (RPVs) over their longterm operations. To assess structural reliability of degraded ...

Abstract: Various synoptic variables are related to satellite radiation data. It is shown that: (1) Vertical motion is related jointly to window radiation and water vapor radiation. (2) Surface relative humidity can be estimated ...

Abstract: The reactor pressure vessel (RPV) welds unavoidably degrade with the long time operation because of the fast neutron fluence exposure. Thus, the structural integrity of the axial and circumferential welds at the beltline ...

Abstract: Prior to the development of sophisticated computer numerical control (CNC), both face milling (FM) and face hobbing (FH), the two most popular technologies for bevel gear production, required cradle-type machines with ...
