Analytical and experimental stiffness estimation of heat pipe supporter for nuclear power plant through a homogenization process

This article aims to study the in-plane stiffness estimation of heat pipe supporter (a large lattice structure) using experimental and numerical methods. The in-plane stiffness of heat pipe supporter for nuclear power plant is very important because of the safety against natural disasters, such as s...
