Intensity Measures for Short‐Period Structures and Their Non‐structural Components
ABSTRACT Selecting (near) optimal intensity measures (IMs) for seismic fragility assessment is fundamental for the accurate and unbiased assessment of risk. While moderate/long‐period structures benefit from a variety of well‐established options, short‐period structures and their non‐structural components (NSCs) present a more ambiguous scenario ...

Impact loading of a space nuclear powerplant
Preferred formulation of the problem in two space dimensions are described for solving the three fundamental equations of mechanics (conservation of mass, conservation of momentum, and conservation of energy). Models of the behavior of materials provide the closure to the three fundamentals equations for applications to problems in compressible fluid ...

Traditional soiling models assume complete cleaning of PV panels after rain reaches a threshold, but in‐field testing shows this assumption is flawed. Improved Kimber and HSU models were developed to more accurately represent postrainfall soiling recovery, achieving RMSE reductions of up to 23% and MAPE under 1%.

Nuclear powerplants for mobile applications [PDF]
Mobile nuclear powerplants for applications other than large ships and submarines will require compact, lightweight reactors with especially stringent impact-safety design. This paper examines the technical and economic feasibility that the broadening role of civilian nuclear power, in general, (land-based nuclear electric generating plants and nuclear
