APPLICATION OF LAYOUT OPTIMIZATION TECHNIQUE TO LARGE-SCALE FRAME STRUCTURES CONSIDERING CROSS-SECTIONAL AREAS OF FRAME MEMBERS

Application of layout optimization technique to large-scale frame structures considering cross-sectional areas of frame members

To design economical frame structures, it is necessary to determine the optimum frame layout and optimum cross-sectional area of each frame member.Although previous studies have proposed a variety of optimization methods, they can be applicable to small-scale frame structures and have been verified only for simple frame structures with a small numb

The impacts of lithium and silicon coating on the W source in EAST

Application of lithium (Li) or silicon (Si) wall coating in the Experimental Advanced Superconducting Tokamak (EAST) has proven to be an effective method to reduce fuel recycling and control impurity level, and also to improve the plasma performance.In 2014, the upper graphite divertor in EAST was upgraded into a full tungsten (W) one with ITER-lik
