Modelling deformation and fracture of Gilsocarbon graphite subject to service environments

Commercial graphites are used for a wide range of applications. For example, Gilsocarbon graphite is used within the reactor core of advanced gas-cooled reactors (AGRs, UK) as a moderator. In service, the mechanical properties of the graphite are changed as a result of neutron irradiation induced defects and porosity arising from radiolytic...

Spatial distribution of overtopping

The scope of this research is to find an empirical formula to describe the distribution of wave overtopping in the region behind the crest. A physical model was set up in which irregular waves were generated. In order to find a formula which adequately describes the test observations, the influence of several parameters has been analysed. The...

AmWaj Island development, Bahrain: Physical modelling of submerged breakwaters

The Am Waj Islands Project involves the development of a new island off the north coast of Muharraq Island in Bahrain (see Figure 1). To protect this new island from wave attack, a scheme of submerged breakwaters has been planned, which should also function as the anchor for a sandy beach, preventing the sand from being washed out into the sea....

Open taludbekledingen: Stabiliteit van blokken op klei. Analyse van Deltagootmetingen

Het onderhavige verslag geeft een diepgaande analyse van de metingen in Deltagoot met blokken op klei. De analyse van de gemeten blokbeweging en stijghoogtes op en onder de toplaag heeft geleid tot kwantificering van de leklengte van de constructie. Deze blijkt goed overeen te komen met de berekende leklengte op basis van formules voor...

Comparison of Stationary and Oscillatory Flow through Porous Media

Rapport is incomplete. Only Chapter 2: Porous Media Flow is included in the PDF. This chapter begins with a general overview of the concepts of porous flow followed by a brief review of Darcy's law, including a description of the parameters comprising this law, its upper limit of vallidity and the reasons for its failure after this limit. Next,...
