Lattice structures and thin-walled tubes are two types of energy-absorbers widely studied applied in engineering practice. In this study, a new type lattice-structure filled tube (LFT) was proposed by combining these energy absorbers designed via explainable data mining method. LFT, BCC-Z (Body- centred cubic unit cell with vertical struts) lattice structure into square tube. Then, the LFT para...

This paper presents the results of reliability analyses load-carrying capacity circular concrete filled steel tubes (CFST) using different codes. Four parameters that govern CFST were considered as variables. These variables include yield strength steel, concrete, diameter CFST, and thickness tube. The Monte Carlo technique was used for simulation. Simulations conducted, obtained capacities ana...

In this paper, a new sacrificial cladding with foam concrete-filled square tubes (FCFST cladding) was developed for dissipating impact energy. The experiment conducted on the FCFST claddings using drop hammer system, and finite element simulation analysis performed explicit nonlinear program LS-DYNA. deformation modes, force–displacement responses energy absorption performances of were discusse...

SNO+ is a multi-purpose neutrino detector, which will primarily study neutrinoless double beta decay. Preparations are underway for the first phase of physics data-taking, with a water-filled detector. In terms of hardware, recent electronics repairs are described, as well as the programme which has shown to be ∼90% effective in repairing failed photomultiplier tubes. Testing of Data Quality ha...
