Rock-Arch Instability Characteristics of the Sandstone Plate under Different Loading Conditions by Shuren Wang, Paul Hagan, Baowen Hu, Kanchana Gamage, Cheng Yan, Dianfu Xu

“…Under the concentrated loading and the uniform loading, the tests on the brittle fracture and the hinged arching until the rock-arch instability of the sandstone plate were conducted using self-developed loading device, and the sensitivity of influent factors on the rock-arch failure was analyzed by numerical test based on the particle flow code (PFC). The results showed that sandstone plate instability presented four phases: small deformation elastic stage, brittle fracture arching stage, rock-arch bearing stage, and rock-arch instability stage. …”

A Hybrid Particle Swarm Optimization-Tuning Algorithm for the Prediction of Nanoparticle Morphology from Microscopic Images by Abhishek Singh, Thaseem Thajudeen

“…In this study, we propose a combination of evolutionary algorithm and forward tuning model to predict the best fit 3-dimensional structures of aggregates from their projection images. 2-dimensional features from a projection image are compared to the candidate projections generated using FracVAL code and optimized using Particle Swarm Optimization to obtain the 3-dimensional structure of the aggregate. …”

A Conceptual Approach to Eliminate Bypass Release of Fission Products by In-Containment Relief Valve under SGTR Accident by Taeseok Kim, Wonjun Choi, Joongoo Jeon, Nam Kyung Kim, Hoichul Jung, Sung Joong Kim

“…To mitigate the consequence of the SGTR accident, this study was conducted to devise a conceptual approach of installing In-Containment Relief Valve (ICRV) from steam generator (SG) to the free space in the containment building and it was simulated by MELCOR code for numerical analysis. Simulation results show that the radioactive nuclides were not released to the environment in the ICRV case. …”

Analysis for the Effect of Spatial Discretization Method on AP1000 Reactor Pressure Vessel Fluence Calculation by Junxiao Zheng, Bin Zhang, Shengchun Shi, Yixue Chen

“…In this paper, the deviations introduced by different differencing schemes and mesh sizes on the AP1000 RPV fast neutron fluence have been studied, which are based on new discrete ordinates code ARES. The analysis shows that the differencing scheme (diamond difference with or without linear zero fix-up, theta weighted, directional theta weighted, and exponential directional weighted) introduces a deviation within 4%. …”
