Rotatable fixture

A rotatable fixture for use in a vibration or seismic test is capable of shortening the time for dismantling the fixture. The rotatable fixture of the present invention is aimed to obviate the non-universalness of the conventional fixture and remove the drawbacks that the conventional fixture has to be dismantled before rotating to a certain angle for test. The rotatable fixture of the present invention includes a base, a rotating disc, a fastening frame, and fixing plates. The rotatable fixture has a basic natural frequency which is distant from the test frequency band. Meanwhile, the drawbacks that the fixture has to be dismantled during the test process is eliminated by the special connection between the base and the rotating disc. Moreover, due to the versatile design of the fastening frame, the rotatable fixture can allow a variety of devices under test to be secured thereto to attain universalness.

Hybrid Monte Carlo and Deterministic Particle Transport Method Based on Transition Area

A hybrid Mote Carlo and deterministic particle transport method based on the transition area is provided. Firstly, the geometric complexity is analyzed based on the CAD model. Based on the geometric complexity and the physical characteristics, an area having complex geometry is divided as a Monte Carlo particle transport calculation area, an area having simple geometry is divided as a deterministic particle transport calculation area, and a transition area with a determined thickness is created between the two areas. In the particle transport calculation, the Monte Carlo particle transport calculation is performed in the Monte Carlo particle transport area and the transition area, and the deterministic calculation is performed in the deterministic area and the transition area. Basically consistent results of the transition area under the two calculations can be achieved through multiple iterations, thereby realizing seamless coupling of the two calculations.

Method and apparatus for suppressing flow-induced jet pump vibration in a boiling water reactor

Flow induced vibration (FIV) at the slip joint between a nuclear reactor jet pump mixer and diffuser is suppressed without installing additional parts or altering the jet pump construction. The disclosed method determines a relationship between reactor operating conditions that trigger FIV and the magnitude of a mixer/diffuser transverse contact load. A mathematical analysis on a representative jet pump configuration determines the quantitative relationship between mixer/diffuser cold positions and their positions when the reactor is operating. Thus, a prediction can be made as to whether an installed jet pump will experience FIV, and the mixer and diffuser can be positioned by a mixer adjustment tool when the reactor is cold to provide the necessary operational transverse contact load. Alternatively, a contact load measuring tool directly measures the magnitude and direction of the cold mixer/diffuser transverse contact load to determine if FIV will be suppressed when the reactor is operating.
