Abstract: Accurate parameterizations for calculating solar radiation absorption in the atmospheric column due to water vapor lines and continuum are proposed for use in broadband shortwave radiative transfer codes. The error in the ...

Abstract: This paper presents the development and validation of a cyberinfrastructure architecture for research in nondestructive evaluation (NDE) using acoustic emission (AE) data. Existing cyberinfrastructures for civil engineering ...

Abstract: This paper presents a structural health monitoring methodology that uses acoustic emission (AE) features to predict crack growth in structural elements subjected to fatigue. This allows for the prediction of the failure ...

Abstract: Molten salt reactors (MSRs) are promising advanced nuclear reactors for closure of the fuel cycle. This paper discusses the core design of graphitemoderated MSRs, thanks to a parametric study of the fuel and moderator ...
