Characterization of Fuel Rods Supported by Dimple‐Less Spacer Grids and Subjected to Nonlinear Vibrations

open access: yesInternational Journal of Mechanical System Dynamics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT An experimental campaign was undertaken to demonstrate the applicability of the Bouc–Wen hysteretic model to describe the hysteretic system of the recent Framatome dimple‐less spacer grid design for Pressurized Water Reactors. The experimental setup subjected a reduced‐length fuel rod, supported at both ends by dimple‐less grids, to forced ...

Explicit‐Implicit Material Point Method for Dense Granular Flows With a Novel Regularized µ(I) Model

open access: yesInternational Journal for Numerical and Analytical Methods in Geomechanics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The material point method (MPM) is widely employed to simulate granular flows. Although explicit time integration is favored in most current MPM implementations for its simplicity, it cannot rigorously incorporate the incompressible µ(I)‐rheology, an efficient model ubiquitously adopted in other particle‐based numerical methods. While operator‐

Reflections on Comparative Teaching in Public Administration

open access: yesPublic Administration and Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This article integrates our scholarly experience of teaching comparative public administration. In doing so, we offer a unique perspective as the co‐authors carry several diverse attributes, among them their countries of origin, current country in which they are teaching, and their academic experience.

Considering Intermediaries as Relational Localizers: A Case Study of Localization in the Thai–Southeast Myanmar Border Humanitarian Response

open access: yesPublic Administration and Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Two conceptualizations of pathways to moderating power asymmetries in humanitarian practice have emerged in localization discourse—one emphasizing procedural reforms and the other highlighting relational transformation. Dominant Global North‐mediated localization frameworks emphasize procedural approaches with a focus on shifting to a direct ...

‘Should’ and ‘can’ active restoration be used in biodiversity offsets? Stakeholder perspectives from New South Wales, Australia

open access: yesPeople and Nature, EarlyView.
Abstract Despite their controversial nature, biodiversity offsets are often used as a regulatory tool to counterbalance the impacts of land clearing on biodiversity. Offsets usually aim to achieve no net loss (NNL) of biodiversity through protection and/or restoration of habitat.
