Fluid‐structure coupling is the main cause for the vibration of fluid‐conveying pipelines, and
fluid‐solid coupling vibration of fluid‐conveying pipelines is a “typical dynamic problem.” …

Abstract MYRRHA (Multi-purpose hYbrid Research Reactor for High-tech Applications) is a
prototype of a Generation IV reactor that will be constructed in Mol, Belgium. It is a liquid …

Nuclear utilities are increasingly facing challenges meeting evolving regulatory
requirements of probabilistic structural assessments with existing tools. Probabilistic …

Fluctuating force induced by horizontal gas–liquid two-phase flow on 90 deg pipe bend at
atmospheric pressure condition is considered. Analysis was conducted to develop a model …

The effect of an initial pre-compressive stress load on the low-velocity impact wear behavior
of Inconel 690 alloy tubes was investigated. Interface dynamic response and damage …

The dynamic behaviors of a horizontal piping structure with an elbow due to the two-phase
flow excitation are experimentally investigated. The effects of flow patterns and superficial …

This work presents an analytical framework to model fully flexible fuel bundles. The model is
capable of predicting the vibration response of fuel bundles with a large number of elements …

The severe operation conditions in nuclear reactors, such as highly turbulent coolant flow,
high temperatures and excessive irradiation doses, can compromise the structural integrity …

Flow-induced vibrations (FIVs) are a major threat to the operation of nuclear steam
generators. Turbulence and fluidelastic instability are the two main excitation mechanisms …

The mechanical properties and microstructure of weldments are always an imperative
concern of researchers; therefore, the change from continuous gas tungsten arc welding …
