The PERP benchmark comprises 21,976 imprecisely known (uncertain) model parameters. Previous works have used the adjoint sensitivity analysis methodology to compute exactly and efficiently all of the 21,976 first-order and (21,976)<sup>2</sup> second-order sensitivities of the PERP benchmark’s leakage response to all of the benchmark’s uncertain parameters, showing that the largest and most consequential 1<sup>st</sup>- and 2<sup>nd</sup>-order response sensitivities are with respect to the total microscopic cross sections. These results have motivated extending the previous adjoint-based derivations to third-order, leading to the derivation, in this work, of the exact mathematical expressions of the (180)<sup>3</sup> third-order sensitivities of the PERP leakage response with respect to these total microscopic cross sections. The formulas derived in this work are valid not only for the PERP benchmark but can also be used for computing the 3<sup>rd</sup>-order sensitivities of the leakage response of any nuclear system involving fissionable material and internal or external neutron sources. Subsequent works will use the adjoint-based mathematical expressions obtained in this work to compute exactly and efficiently the numerical values of these (180)<sup>3</sup> third-order sensitivities (which turned out to be very large and consequential) and use them for a third-order uncertainty analysis of the PERP benchmark’s leakage response.展开更多

This computation was made possible by applying the Third-Order Adjoint Sensitivity Analysis Methodology developed by Cacuci. The numerical results obtained in this work revealed that many of the 3<sup>rd</sup>-order sensitivities are significantly larger than their corresponding 1<sup>st</sup>- and 2<sup>nd</sup>-order ones, which is contrary to the widely held belief that higher-order sensitivities are all much smaller and hence less important than the first-order ones, for reactor physics systems. In particular, the largest 3<sup>rd</sup>-order relative sensitivity is the mixed sensitivity <img src="Edit_754b8437-dfdf-487d-af68-c78c637e6d4e.png" width="180" height="24" alt="" />of the PERP leakage response with respect to the lowest energy-group (30) total cross sections of <sup>1</sup>H (“isotope 6”) and <sup>239</sup>Pu (“isotope 1”). These two isotopes are shown in this work to be the two most important parameters affecting the PERP benchmark’s leakage response. By comparison, the largest 1<sup>st</sup>-order sensitivity is that of the PERP leakage response with respect to the lowest energy-group total cross section of isotope <sup>1</sup>H, having the value <img src="Edit_a5cfcc11-6a99-41ee-b844-a5ee84b454b3.png" width="100" height="24" alt="" />, while the largest 2<sup>nd</sup>-order sensitivity is <img src="Edit_05166a2b-97f7-43f1-98ff-b21368c00228.png" width="120" height="22" alt="" />. The 3<sup>rd</sup>-order sensitivity analysis presented in this work is the first ever such analysis in the field of reactor physics. The consequences of the results presented in this work on the uncertainty analysis of the PERP benchmark’s leakage response will be presented in a subsequent work.展开更多

Attention focuses on minimum failure load amplitudes and failure locations, von Mises' equivalent stress along the plate thickness is also addressed. Several distributed and localized loading conditions are considered. Loads act on the top of the plate. Bi-sinusoidal and uniform loads are taken into account for distributed loadings, while stepwise constant centric and off-centric loadings are addressed in the case of localized loadings. Analysis is performed considering plates whose length-to-thickness ratio a/h can be as high as 100 (thin plates) and as low as 2 (very thick plates). Results are obtained via several 2D plate models. Classical theories (CTs) and higher order models are applied. Those theories are based on polynomial approximation of the displacement field. Among the higher order theories (HOTs) HOTsa models account for the transverse shear deformations, while HOTs models account for both transverse shear and transverse normal deformations. LHOTs represent a local application of the higher order theories. A layerwise approach is thus assumed: by means of mathematical interfaces, the plate is considered to be made of several fictitious layers. The exact 3D solution is presented in order to determine the accuracy of the results obtained via the 2D models. In this way a hierarchy among the 2D theories is established. CTs provide highly accurate results for a/h greater than 10 in the case of distributed loadings and greater than 20 for localized loadings. Results obtained via HOTs are highly accurate in the case of very thick plates for bi-sinusoidal and centric loadings. In the case of uniform and off-centric loadings a high gradient is present in the neighborhood of the plate top. In those cases, LHOTs yield results that match the exact solution.展开更多

The PERP benchmark comprises 7477 imprecisely known (uncertain) model parameters which have nonzero values. These parameters are as follows: 180 microscopic total cross sections;7101 microscopic scattering sections;60 microscopic fission cross sections;60 parameters that characterize the average number of neutrons per fission;60 parameters that characterize the fission spectrum;10 parameters that characterize the fission source;and 6 parameters that characterize the isotope number densities. Previous works have used the adjoint sensitivity analysis methodology to compute exactly and efficiently all of the 7477 first-order and 27,956,503 second-order sensitivities of the PERP benchmark’s leakage response to all of the benchmark’s uncertain parameters. These works showed that largest response sensitivities involve the total microscopic cross sections, which motivated the recent computation of all of the (180)<sup>3</sup> third-order sensitivities of the PERP leakage response with respect to these total microscopic cross sections. It turned out that some of these 3<sup>rd</sup>-order cross sections were far larger than the corresponding 2<sup>nd</sup>-order ones, thereby having the largest impact on the uncertainties induced in the PERP benchmark’s response. This finding has motivated the development of the original 4<sup>th</sup>-order formulas presented in this work, which are valid not only for the PERP benchmark but can also be used for computing the 4<sup>th</sup>-order sensitivities of response of any nuclear system involving fissionable material and internal or external neutron sources. Subsequent works will use the adjoint-based mathematical expressions obtained in this work to compute exactly and efficiently the numerical values of the largest fourth-order sensitivities of the PERP benchmark’s response to the total microscopic cross section and use them for a pioneering fourth-order uncertainty analysis of the PERP benchmark’s response.展开更多

Recently, the author showed that Wn(x) = ∫M QndM is a conformal invariant under conformal group of R^n+1 and called it the nth Willmore functional of x. An extremal hypersurface of conformal invariant functional Wn is called an nth order Willmore hypersurface. The purpose of this paper is to construct concrete examples of the 3rd order Willmore hypersurfaces in Ra which have good geometric behaviors. The ordinary differential equation characterizing the revolutionary 3rd Willmore hypersurfaces is established and some interesting explicit examples are found in this paper.展开更多

A slow beam extraction system using the RF-Knock Out method and 3rd-order resonance is adopted in the synchrotron of this facility. Eight sextupoles are used, four of them are for correcting the chromaticity and the rest for driving the 3rd-order resonance. In order to save the aperture of vacuum chamber, a 3-magnet bump is adopted during the extraction process. The extraction phase space map and the last 3 turns’ particle trajectory before extraction are given. The matching betatron functions with HEBT (high energy beam transport) are also presented.展开更多
