Solution based synthesis of mixed phase materials in the Li2TiO3 - Li4SiO4 system
Dorian A. H. Hanaor, Matthias H. H. Kolb, Yixiang Gan +2
As candidate tritium breeder materials for use in the ITER helium cooled pebble bed, ceramic multiphasic compounds lying in the region of the quasi-binary lithium metatitanate- lit…
Measurement of normal contact stiffness of fractal rough surfaces
Chongpu Zhai, Sébastien Bevand, Yixiang Gan +4
We investigate the effects of roughness and fractality on the normal contact stiffness of rough surfaces. Samples of isotropically roughened aluminium surfaces are considered. The…
A Thermal Discrete Element Analysis of EU Solid Breeder Blanket subjected to Neutron Irradiation
Yixiang Gan, Francisco Hernandez, Dorian Hanaor +3
Due to neutron irradiation, solid breeder blankets are subjected to complex thermo-mechanical conditions. Within one breeder unit, the ceramic breeder bed is composed of spherical-…
Experimental and numerical determination of mechanical properties of polygonal wood particles and their flow analysis in silos
Fernando Alonso-Marroquín, Álvaro Ramírez-Gómez, Carlos González-Montellano +6
Responding to a lack in the literature, mechanical properties of polygonal wood particles are determined for use in a discrete element model (DEM) for flow analysis in silos, and s…
