Abstract: The state of the vessel steel embrittlement as a result of neutron irradiation can be measured by its increase in ductile-brittle transition temperature (DBTT) for fracture, often denoted by ...

Abstract: The probability of fracture (or the fracture fragility) for a range of internal pressure-pulses for the HFIR pressure vessel is obtained. The fracture is assumed to be caused by randomly ...

Abstract: The optimal design of rotating pretwisted blades subject to dynamic behavior constraints is studied. The restrictions on multiple blade natural frequencies and on maximum blade dynamic deflections are considered the dynamic ...
