On the Flow-Induced Vibration of Solitary Wire-Wrapped Cylinders in Axial Flow

Creator:

Nixon, Chad A.

Abstract:

Vibration of nuclear power plant components can cause fretting wear and fatigue that can eventually lead to component failure. Flexible, high-aspect ratio components under flow, such as the wire-wrapped cylindrical fuel elements in a liquid metal-cooled fast reactor (LMFR) core, are particularly susceptible to vibration due to their low natural...
