Annotation Papers from an August 2002 conference describe the application of novel analytical and experimental methods in fracture mechanics to assess the structural integrity of pressure vessels and piping. Cracking of reactor components in nuclear power plants is also discussed. Some specific topics include validation of constraint based methodology in structural integrity, code based failure avoidance assessments of the NESC-1 large scale pressurized thermal shock experiment, and limit load solutions for surface cracks in plates under different loading types. Other subjects include cracking alloy 600/182 reactor vessel head penetrations, and root cause evaluation and repair of alloy 82/182 J-groove weld cracking of reactor vessel head penetrations. There is no subject index. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com).
Vols. 8-10 of the 1965-1984 master cumulation constitute a title index.
This comprehensive work thoroughly introduces and reviews the set of results from Belle and BaBar - after more than two decades of independent and complementary work - all the way from the detectors and the analysis tools used, up to the physics results, and the interpretation of these results. The world’s two giant B Factory collaborations, Belle at KEK and BaBar at SLAC, have successfully completed their main mission to discover and quantify CP violation in the decays of B mesons. CP violation is a necessary requirement to distinguish unambiguously between matter and antimatter. The shared primary objective of the two B Factory experiments was to determine the shape of the so-called unitarity triangle, an abstract triangle representing interactions of quarks, the elementary constituents of matter. The area of the triangle is a measure of the amount of CP violation associated with the weak force. Many other measurements have been performed by the B Factories and are also discussed in this work.
