Development of retention plate which holds spent fuel cask
Nihon Kikai Gakkai ronbunshu, 2021 A method to retain a cask by a retention plate has been developed. In this method, a small fitting gap between the bottom of the cask and the circular hollow of the retention plate controls movement of the cask in the range of the circular hollow area at

Geotechnical design with apparent seismic safety factors well-bellow 1 [PDF]
, 2014 The paper demonstrates that whereas often in seismic geotechnical design it is not realistically feasible to design with ample factor of safety against failure as is done in static design, an "engineering" apparent seismic factor of safety less than 1 ...

Rocking Revisited 1. Rocking of a Single Cube on a Breakwater Slope [PDF]
, 2016 Prototype single layer armour units on a breakwater slope are observed to break. To predict when breakage occurs, the objective of this research project is to obtain knowledge on, and measurements of the rocking behaviour and failure mode of single layer

Fuzzy Multivariate Regression Models for Seismic Assessment of Rocking Structures
Applied Sciences, 2023 The assessment of rocking response is a challenging task due to its high nonlinearity. The present study investigates two methodologies to evaluate finite rocking rotations and overturn of three typical rocking systems.

Structural Displacement Ratios for Seismic Evaluation of Structures on Rocking Shallow Foundations
Buildings, 2022 Rocking shallow foundations can be used as an effective seismic isolation means to reduce earthquake-induced damage to structures by utilizing nonlinearities arising from base uplifting and soil yielding.

Treatment of the Mal de Debarquement Syndrome: A 1-Year Follow-up
Frontiers in Neurology, 2017 The mal de debarquement syndrome (MdDS) is a movement disorder, occurring predominantly in women, is most often induced by passive transport on water or in the air (classic MdDS), or can occur spontaneously.
