This paper addresses the vibration control problem of a nuclear refueling machine (RM) that transports fuel rods to given reactor locations in water. First, Hamilton's principle is used in developing a hybrid lumped-mass and distributed-parameter model of the RM to investigate the underwater vibrations of the fuel rods caused by the RM's movements. In deriving the control law, the hydrodynamic force...
This paper addresses a residual vibration control problem of the refueling machine (RM) that transports fuel rods in water to their desired locations in the nuclear reactor. A hybrid lumped-mass and distributed-parameter model of the RM is considered for investigation of the transverse vibrations (caused by trolley movement) of a fuel rod in water. Simulations and experiments reveal that the hydrodynamic...
This paper addresses the vibration control problem of a fuel transport system (FTS) in a nuclear power plant. The FTS transports the fuel rods in the nuclear reactor to desired locations within the fuel building. The fuel rods must be transported under water to avoid radiation leaks into the environment. It has been observed that a quick maneuver of the trolley can cause vibrations that can damage...
This paper addresses the vibration control problem of a fuel transport system (FTS) in a nuclear power plant. The FTS transports the fuel rods in the nuclear reactor to desired locations in the fuel building or vice versa. The fuel rods must be transported under water to avoid radiation leaks to the environment. It has been observed that a quick maneuver of the trolley can cause vibrations that can...
