RISComputationally Efficient Reliability Analysis of Mechanisms Based on a Multiplicative Dimensional Reduction Method
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The paper presents a computationally efficient method for system reliability analysis of mechanisms. The reliability is defined as the probability that the output error remains within a specified limit in the entire target ...
Estimation of Flow-Accelerated Corrosion Rate in Nuclear Piping System
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Flow-accelerated corrosion (FAC) is a life-limiting factor for the piping network of the primary heat transport system (PHTS) in CANDU® reactors. The pipe wall thinning caused by FAC is monitored by carrying out periodic ...
Best-Estimate Plus Uncertainty Analysis of CANDU Fuel Reliability Using Manufacturing and Simulated Core Data
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: A novel method of assessing the reliability of 37-element Canada deuterium uranium (reactor) (CANDU) fuel bundle was explored. The method implements a “best-estimate plus uncertainty” (BEPU) approach where a probabilistic ...
