Abstract: This paper reports the three-dimensional (3D) nonlinear dynamic analysis of floating pile groups subjected to seismic loading. For the nonlinear dynamic analysis of foundations in general, and pile foundations in particular, ...

Abstract: Empirical/semi-empirical correlations are available in the literature to quantify the effect of several major parameters, like bulk pressure, non-condensable gas mass fraction, and wall subcooling, on condensation heat ...

Abstract: A significant amount of hydrogen may be released inside the containment of water-cooled nuclear power reactor under postulated accident conditions. Its distribution in the multicompartment containment geometry must be known ...

Abstract: The goal of current research is to compare the data clustering techniques and cluster validity indices for geometrical feature extraction using point cloud. Here, the point clouds are generated by slicing of the computer-aided ...

Abstract: Heat transfer coefficient (HTC) relations developed using steady-state experimental data are used for capturing the complete heat transport characteristic in a severe nuclear accident. It is important to verify the ...
