AbstractAbstract
[en] The function of fuel channel fastener assembly is to keep enough clearance between fuel channels, allowing the insertion of control rod and fixing the channel on the fuel bundle. The assembly device is not safety related component, however, in case of the screw breaking, it may cause loose parts, which might adversely affect the normal operation of inserting and pulling fuel assemblies, and/or the movement of the control rods. In this paper, the possible loading conditions applied to the fuel channel fastener assembly are considered to analyze the stress state in screw. In order to assess the improper positioning of fuel channel, explicit finite element procedures is employed to simulate the complex contact/impact behaviors occurring between the fastener assembly and the neighboring fuel channel or the fuel rack, in which the effects of dynamic impact on the screw and initial contact speed are the main concern. The analysis results reveal that the reduced neck close to the screw head has the highest stress. If the external loads drive the stress up to the yielding limit, crack initiation will occur on the screw neck and thereby, under the tensile loadings and reactor core environment, initiating intergranular stress corrosion cracking (IGSCC) on the screw

AbstractAbstract
[en] This paper presented results on ductile fracture analysis by strain energy density functions. They applied the strain energy density approach to a C(T) specimen used in a past Battelle/NRC finite element round robin. They found that the strain energy density function can be used to predict the stable crack growth in ductile fracture analysis, that the approach is easily extended to three-dimensional geometries, and that only the stress-strain curve is needed in the input

AbstractAbstract
[en] Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging has emerged as an important noninvasive diagnostic imaging technique for assessment of foot pathology. This modality, owing to its multiplanar imaging capability and inherent superiority in contrast, has been shown to be more accurate and sensitive for detection of plantar fascia pathology than any other imaging method. One of the most important and recognizable causes of heel pain is plantar fasciitis. With the exception of plantar fasciitis, there has been little emphasis on imaging other conditions that affect this important structure. The objective of this review is to demonstrate, from a perspective of MR imaging, the many different pathologic conditions that affect the plantar fascia. Included in this review will be a discussion of normal anatomy as well as entities such as acute plantar fasciitis, chronic plantar fasciitis, traumatic rupture, normal post-surgical changes, pathologic post-fasciotomy conditions, infection, and fibromatosis.

AbstractAbstract
[en] Structural, magnetic, and transport properties of (La1-xNdx)0.75Na0.25MnO3 (0≤x≤1) are studied. The system exhibits a rhombohedrally distorted perovskite structure for x≤0.2 and it convert to an orthorhombic structure for x≥0.4. Re-entrant ferromagnetic type charge ordering transitions are observed in the narrow bandwidth samples (x≥0.6), while charge ordering transition is not observed for these samples with rhombohedral structure. Combining with the published results related to the charge ordering transition, we argue that the rhombohedral structure likely favor double exchange interaction and suppress charge ordering interaction. The compounds show metal to insulator transitions except Nd0.75Na0.25MnO3. The resistivity data above the metal to insulator transition temperature for the charge ordered sample are discussed in the frame work of variable-range hopping model

AbstractAbstract
[en] An overpressurizing analysis of a BWR MARK-I steel containment structure has been performed to give better understanding of its behavior under severe accidents. Since the actual response, instead of a conservative one, is desired in the analysis, structural details were considered in the analysis and modelling details were described. A global analysis determines the possible rupture location and the corresponding pressure. Possible leakage locations were investigated. Drywell head flange seems to be the only possible location to have leakage before rupture pressure is reached. Factors affecting this leakage pressure were discussed. (author). 3 refs., 4 figs

AbstractAbstract
[en] Meniscal ossicles are rare. Radiographically, these ossicles often are mistaken for intra-articular bodies. We evaluated the application of magnetic resonance imaging to determine whether this technique is efficacious in differentiating meniscal ossicles from intra-articular bodies. (orig.)

AbstractAbstract
[en] Objective. To determine the postoperative appearance of the plantar fascia on MR imaging after a fasciotomy has been performed, and to compare the postsurgical appearance of the fascia after an open and endoscopic procedure.< rate at head-abs-p1.lf>Design and patients. Fifteen asymptomatic volunteers (12 women, 3 men; age range 22-49 years, mean age 33 years) with prior fasciotomies for treatment of longstanding plantar fasciitis were studied. Fourteen volunteers had a unilateral release and one volunteer had bilateral releases, allowing for assessment of 16 ankles. Eight fasciotomies were performed through an open incision and eight were performed endoscopically. The average time between surgery and imaging was 24 months (range 11-46 months). The site of surgery was established from the operative reports. Proton density (PD)-weighted and T2-weighted images in three orthogonal planes were obtained on a 1.5-T magnet. In eight studies, T1-weighted sagittal and STIR sagittal images were included. The fascia in each ankle was assessed for morphology and signal intensity. Perifascial soft tissues and bone marrow were assessed for edema. Preoperative MR studies were available in five volunteers.< rate at head-abs-p1.lf>Results. There was no apparent difference in the postoperative appearance of the ankle after an open or endoscopic procedure except for scar formation in the subcutaneous fat which was common after an open procedure (P<0.05). Three ankles had a gap in the fascia (one open, two endoscopic). The plantar fascia measured a mean of 7.0 mm (range 5-10 mm) at the fasciotomy, and 8.3 mm (range 6-12 mm) at the enthesis. At the fasciotomy, 11 of 13 ankles had an indistinct deep contour and 9 of 13 had an indistinct superficial contour. At the enthesis, 13 of 16 ankles had an indistinct deep contour and 6 of 16 had an indistinct superficial contour. Compared with preoperative MR studies there was an average reduction in the fascial thickness at the enthesis of 14% (range 9-20%), but the thickness at the fasciotomy nearly doubled. No edema was evident in the fascia, perifascial tissues, deep plantar muscles, or calcaneal bone marrow.< rate at head-abs-p1.lf>Conclusions. The average thickness of the plantar fascia in asymptomatic volunteers after surgery is nearly 2-3 times that of normal. While there is increased thickness at the site of surgery, the changes in morphology and signal intensity were most prominent at the enthesis. The key observation was absence of edema in the fascia and perifascial soft tissues. This baseline information may be of value when assessing MR studies of symptomatic patients. (orig.)

AbstractAbstract
[en] Background: Characterization of small nodules in the cirrhotic liver is always challenging in clinical practice. In the differential diagnosis of small hypervascular lesions, it has been reported that portal venous or delayed hypointensity is a useful sign to characterize hepatocellular carcinomas (HCCs) during dynamic magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. However, few studies have assessed the diagnostic value of this sign. Purpose: To determine the diagnostic value of portal-phase (PP) and delayed-phase (DP) images for the diagnosis of small hypervascular HCCs during intravenous (IV) contrast-enhanced dynamic MR imaging of cirrhotic liver. Material and Methods: A total of 69 small (6-20 mm) hypervascular HCCs in 53 cirrhotic patients were subjected to a retrospective analysis of the signal intensities (hypo-, iso-, or hyperintense) and rim enhancement on PP and 5-min DP images from three-phased dynamic MR imaging according to the pre-contrast T1- and T2-weighted imaging features. After exclusion of 33 subcapsular wedge-shaped pseudolesions and three hemangiomas by typical imaging features, 74 centrally located small hypervascular benign or pseudolesions were used as a control group for comparative analyses. Results: The sensitivities of PP hypointensity, DP hypointensity, and rim enhancement in the diagnosis were 11%, 29%, and 18%, respectively, for 6-10-mm hypervascular HCCs, and 42%, 63%, and 58%, respectively, for 16-20-mm lesions. After exclusion of the 48 lesions showing T2-weighted hyperintensity (HCCs, n=39; benign lesions, n=9), the overall sensitivity for diagnosis of small hypervascular HCCs decreased (8.3%, 25.0%, and 8.3%, respectively). Conclusion: Although DP provides a better sensitivity than PP, both PP and DP have very limited diagnostic value for diagnosis of small hypervascular HCCs during dynamic MR imaging of the cirrhotic liver
