(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)In order to significantly increase the power density of Light Water Reactors (LWRs), the helical-cruciform (HC) fuel rod assembly has been proposed as an alternative to traditional fuel geometry. The HC assembly is a ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)The economic advantages of longer fuel cycle, improved fuel utilization and reduced spent fuel storage have been driving the nuclear industry to pursue higher discharge burnup of Light Water Reactor (LWR) fuel. A design ...

(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)An investigation into the properties and performance of a novel silicon carbide-based fuel rod cladding under PWR conditions was conducted. The novel design is a triplex, with the inner and outermost layers consisting of ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2001)Dislocation is a line defect in crystalline materials, and a microscopic carrier of plastic deformation. Because dislocation has both a localized core and a long-range stress field, linking atomistic and meso scales is ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2001)This thesis is a study of atomistic measures of strength and deformation of ceramic materials, utilizing molecular dynamics (MD) simulation that incorporates newly developed theoretical models and computational algorithms ...
-
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)Multiscale materials modeling has emerged in recent years as a significant concept and the only viable approach to understand the mechanical response of materials by linking modeling research at different length scales and ...
