DAMAGE DETECTION OF COMPOSITE PLATE BASED ON LOCAL DEFECT RESONANCE INTER-MODULATION EFFECT by CHEN WenJian, QU WenZhong, XIAO Li

“…In this paper, a single degree of freedom nonlinear model for damage local resonance effect was constructed, considering both quadratic and cubic stiffness nonlinearity, and analyzed using multi-scale method to explain the mechanism of local resonance modulation effect. Experiment of a carbon fiber composite plate with impact damage was carried out to verify the results of theoretical model analysis and the feasibility of the damage local resonance internal modulation method applying to nonlinear damage detection. …”

Investigating the influence of divertor baffles on nitrogen-seeded detachment in TCV with SOLPS-ITER simulations and TCV experiments by G. Sun, H. Reimerdes, C. Theiler, B.P. Duval, M. Carpita, C. Colandrea, R. Ducker, O. Février, S. Gorno, L. Simons, E. Tonello, the EUROfusion Tokamak Exploitation Team, the TCV Team

“…At the same outboard mid-plane separatrix plasma density, the nitrogen retention with baffles is lower than the unbaffled retention at low seeding levels and is higher at high seeding levels, which is explained by the changes of nitrogen ion and neutral transport with baffles and seeding. The baffled carbon retention is higher than the unbaffled retention due to lower divertor to main chamber carbon neutral conductance. …”
