International Journal of Energy Research, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.With the advantages of high inherent safety, simple design, and small volume, the heat pipe reactor (HPR) is considered one of the nuclear power systems suitable for the distributed electricity generation market. The HPR transfers heat generated from the reactor core through heat pipes to an intermediate heat exchanger (IHX) connected to power ...

Breathing Phenomenon of Soil Desiccation Cracking: Insights From Novel Geophysical Observations
Journal of Geophysical Research: Earth Surface, Volume 129, Issue 1, January 2024.Abstract Drought‐induced soil desiccation cracking is a common natural phenomenon on the earth surface, which plays a significant role in influencing the hydro‐mechanical behavior of soils across various earthen engineering applications. However, there is still a scarcity of related studies investigating how field soil desiccation cracking responds to ...

Structural Control and Health Monitoring, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.Nanoparticle‐ (NP‐) doped optical fibres show the potential to increase the signal‐to‐noise ratio and thus the sensitivity of optical fibre strain detection for structural health monitoring. In this paper, our previous experimental/simulation study is extended to a design study for strain monitoring.

Structural Control and Health Monitoring, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.Structural health monitoring is essential for the lifecycle maintenance of tunnel infrastructure. Distributed fiber‐optic sensor (DFOS) technology, which is capable of distributed strain measurement and long‐range sensing, is an ideal nondestructive testing (NDT) approach for monitoring linear infrastructures.

Optics ExpressA compact high-resolution distributed liquid refractive index (RI) sensor based on the side-polished D-shaped fiber (DSF) that needs no post-fabrication modifications is presented. Since phase demodulation can offer better sensing resolution than most traditional amplitude cross-correlation algorithms, for what we believe to be the first time, we ...
