The extended finite element method (X-FEM), in conjunction with the level set method, is applied to sloshing analysis of a rigid container filled with liquid. The governing equations for liquid with a free surface based on the potential flow theor...
In order to evaluate fatigue crack propagation behavior at J-welding portions of Bottom Mounted Instrumentation (BMI) in Reactor Pressure Vessel (RPV), crack propagation crossing dissimilar material interface between base metal and clad should be ...
