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 ...

Policy Capacity Matters Differently Over Time: The Emergence and Persistence of Participatory Budgeting in China

open access: yesPublic Administration and Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The persistence of participatory budgeting (PB) in selected Chinese localities challenges the conventional wisdom that deliberative democratic practices can only take root in liberal political environments. Yet, existing literature has not sufficiently elucidated the factors underpinning the rise and sustained operation of PB in this seemingly

The Role of Interfacial Shear Strength in Composite Performance

open access: yesPolymer Composites, EarlyView.
Plasma‐modified fibre interfaces: effects on interfacial shear strength and composite fracture behaviour. ABSTRACT This study investigates the role of interfacial shear strength (ISS) in governing the mechanical behavior of fiber‐reinforced composites through an experimental approach.

Assimilation of solar‐induced fluorescence satellite observations in the European Centre for Medium‐Range Weather Forecasts integrated forecast system

open access: yesQuarterly Journal of the Royal Meteorological Society, EarlyView.
This work demonstrates the potential of the assimilation of satellite solar‐induced fluorescence (SIF) retrievals at eight‐day and 0.1° resolutions in the integrated forecast system (IFS), developed at the European Centre for Medium‐Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF), at global scale, to provide a more realistic representation of the vegetation temporal ...
