ReportDOI
Advanced Reactors-Intermediate Heat Exchanger (IHX) Coupling: Theoretical Modeling and Experimental Validation
TL;DR: In this article, the authors developed mathematical models to describe the advanced nuclear reactor-IHX-Chemical process coupling during normal and off-normal operations, and simulate the models using a multiphysics software such as Comsol.
Journal ArticleDOI
Proof of the Splitting Mode of Compressive Brittle Failure and Integration With General Failure Theory
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors give a full theoretical treatment and proof for the splitting mode of failure in uniaxial compression at the brittle limit, based on the general failure theory of Christensen for isotropic materials.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of a simple nonlinear elastic constitutive form
TL;DR: In this paper, a nonlinear, two constant stress-deformation model for elastic materials was proposed and evaluated under both uniaxial and bi-axial stress conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Three Controlling Modes of Failure in Homogeneous and Isotropic Materials With Proof Thereof Through Critical Plane Stress Conditions
TL;DR: The Mises criterion has one mode of failure, not two, not four, purely three as discussed by the authors, and it is verified that these modes of failure under plane stress conditions are exactly the same as those operative in the three-dimensional case.
