Seismic isolation can mitigate earthquake demands on safety-class equipment and is being considered for application to some advanced nuclear reactors. For tall, slender vessels that …
Seismic design, qualification, and risk assessment of nuclear safety-related vessels filled with liquid will have to consider the interaction between the vessel (tank), the contained …
Purpose This study investigates the impact of two-way fluid–structure interactions (FSIs) on the dynamic behavior of flexible liquid storage tanks. A hybrid approach, integrating the finite …

Seismic design and qualification of a liquid-filled advanced nuclear reactor will have to account for fluid-structure interaction (FSI). Interaction between the tank, internal …
ABSTRACT A liquid-filled advanced reactor vessel is generally cylindrical, filled with a coolant, and closed by a head. In a number of proposed designs, the vessel is supported at …
