Current status of Japanese detectors

open access: yes, 2007
Current status of TAMA and CLIO detectors in Japan is reported in this article. These two interferometric gravitational-wave detectors are being developed for the large cryogenic gravitational wave telescope (LCGT) which is a future plan for detecting ...

Design and analysis of a three-dimensional seismic isolation device for small modular reactor building

open access: yesNuclear Engineering and Technology
Seismic isolation in nuclear power plant (NPP) buildings has been infrequently applied using a rubber-based horizontal seismic isolation system (SIS) without vertical isolation under a peak ground acceleration (PGA) of 0.3 g as the seismic design ...

Seismic Response Analysis of Small Modular Reactor Containment Based on LRB and FPS Isolation Strategies

open access: yesYuanzineng kexue jishu
Small modular reactor (SMR) refers to a new generation of reactors with a unit power output of less than 300 MW. These reactors utilize innovative technologies for modular design and rapid on-site assembly.

Stabilization of a Fabry-Perot interferometer using a suspension-point interferometer

open access: yes, 2004
A suspension-point interferometer (SPI) is an auxiliary interferometer for active vibration isolation, implemented at the suspension points of the mirrors of an interferometric gravitational wave detector.

Advancements and reflections on the implementation of seismic isolation technology in rural buildings

open access: yesDiscover Civil Engineering
Earthquakes are very common, and once they occur, they cause economic losses and casualties. To advance earthquake resistance and disaster mitigation, isolation is employed to decouple the transmission of seismic energy within structures, thereby ...

Development of three-dimensional seismic isolation system realizing horizontal periodicity by air levitation

open access: yesNihon Kikai Gakkai ronbunshu, 2018
Research on seismic isolation technology was also a question of how much restoring force can be reduced. The seismic isolation rubber with thin film like rubber and metal plates stacked in multiple stages to reduce the restoring force has achieved great ...

Suspending test masses in terrestrial millihertz gravitational-wave detectors: a case study with a magnetic assisted torsion pendulum

open access: yes, 2017
Current terrestrial gravitational-wave detectors operate at frequencies above 10 Hz. There is strong astrophysical motivation to construct low-frequency gravitational-wave detectors capable of observing 10 mHz - 10Hz signals.
