A rehomogenization-based approach to model spectral effects of local nuclide density changes in nodal calculations

In reactor core nodal analysis, the dependence of few-group, homogenized cross sections on the local physical conditions (i.e., the thermal-hydraulic state and material composition) is commonly represented via multivariate interpolation in parameterized libraries. In this paper, we propose a novel approach to model the spectral effects of...

Vibration-based Identification of Hydrodynamic Loads and System Parameters for Offshore Wind Turbine Support Structures

For reliable structural health monitoring and possible lifetime extension of offshore wind turbine support structures, accurate predictions of the response of these structures at all critical locations are required. Response predictions in offshore wind applications are, however, affected by large uncertainties on environmental (wind/wave...
