Design by analysis of ductile failure and buckling in torispherical pressure vessel heads [PDF]
, 2008 Thin shell torispherical pressure vessel heads are known to exhibit complex elastic-plastic deformation and buckling behaviour under static pressure. In pressure vessel Design by Analysis, the designer is required to assess both of these behaviour modes ...

Two- and three-dimensional experiments for oxide pool in in-vessel retention of core melts
Nuclear Engineering and Technology, 2017 To investigate the heat loads imposed on a reactor vessel through the natural convection of core melts in severe accidents, mass transfer experiments were performed based on the heat transfer/mass transfer analogy, using two- (2-D) and three-dimensional (
