A Study on the Mechanical Characteristics of a Fiberglass Bed Formed During a Loss-of-Coolant-Accident at a PWR Nuclear Facility
Following a Loss-of-Coolant-Accident (LOCA) in one of the primary coolant lines in the containment building of a PWR Facility, it is possible that fiberglass pipe insulation could be dislodged and washed down to the sump pool. This fiberglass could collect into a bed' and cause blockage on the sump …

Robust Parameter Design for Automatically Controlled Systems and Nanostructure Synthesis
… systems with automatic control and for synthesis of nanostructures. In many automatically controlled dynamic processes, the optimal feedback control law depends on the parameter design solution and vice versa and therefore an integrated approach is necessary. A parameter design methodology in the …
