Numerical simulation of decay heat scattering out of AP1000 nuclear reactor spent fuel cask based on finite element method

Modal Analysis of Spent Fuel Cask for WWER-1000 Reactors

The Spent Fuel Assemblies (SFAs) of WWER-1000 reactors are planned to be transported by special containers which are supposed to be designed in a manner to stand against vibrations and impacts in order to protect the spent fuel from any possible damage. The vibration opposition of these containers shall be far beyond the critical resonance, because the resonances about the natural frequency of ...

A Super - Element Based on Finite Element Method for Latticed Columns Computational Aspect and Numerical Results

This paper presents a new super-element with twelve degrees of freedom for latticed columns. This elements is developed such that it behaves, with an acceptable approximation, in the same manner as a reference model does. The reference model is constructed by using many Solid elements. The cross section area, moments of inertia, shear coefficient and torsoinal rigidity of the developed new elem...

Tensile behavior simulation of woven fabric with different weave pattern based on finite element method

Simulation of a Microgripper with Electrothermal Actuator Using COMSOL Software Based on the Finite Element Method

Micro-electro-mechanical systems (MEMs) are Combination of electrical and mechanical components in Micron dimensions. In recent years, holding, actuating methods and handling of MEMs components such as microgripper, microsensors and etc. have been deeply studied. Microgrippers for handling, positioning and assembling of micro components are very useful so that for clamping need actuation create...
