Proposal for maintenance optimization scheme based on system based code concept

open access: yesMechanical Engineering Journal, 2023
To develop rationalized maintenance plans for nuclear power plants, the characteristics of each plant must be considered. For sodium-cooled fast reactor (SFR) plants, constraints on inspections exist due to the specialty that equipment retaining sodium ...

Thermal conductance of the Fermi-Pasta-Ulam chains: Atomic to mesoscopic transition [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
We demonstrate that in the atomic-scale limit the thermal conductance $\mathcal K$ of the FPU model and its variants strongly deviates from the mesoscopic behavior due to the relevance of contact resistance.
