A new Monte Carlo method to calculate two types of kinetics parameters, the effective delayed neutron fraction (eff) and the prompt neutron generation time (), is proposed in this paper. The new method uses perturbation techniques in which extra delayed neutrons or a fictitious 1/v absorber is added to the unperturbed system to calculate the eff or , respectively. In the new method, the per...

We use a meshless numerical method to analyze the eigenanalysis of thin circular membranes with degenerate boundary conditions, composed by different orientations and structures of stringers. The membrane eigenproblem is studied by solving the two-dimensional Helmholtz equation utilizing the method of fundamental solutions and domain decomposition technique as well. The method of singular value...

In this technical report, the problem of Simultaneous Fault Detection and Control (SFDC) is considered. This problem is reduced to a multiobjective optimization problem. We show that there exists a fundamental separation theorem allowing us to seperate this multiobjective problem into a control problem and a fault detection problem. Moreover, the SFDC problem is modeled in terms of a mixed opti...
