Finds documents with both search terms (e.g. sales AND bonus).
Finds documents with one or the other search term (e.g. porsche OR volkswagen).
Finds documents with all search terms. Blank space is understood as AND (e.g. man robot production).
Finds documents with no appearance of the word behind NOT (e.g. ford NOT "harrison ford").
Finds documents where the search term is mentioned at least "n" times."n" may be any number (e.g. COUNT(gear)>8).
Finds documents with both search terms in any word order, permitting "n" words as a maximum distance between them. Best choose between 15 and 30 (e.g. NEAR(recruit, professionals, 20)).
Finds documents with the search term in word versions or composites. The asterisk * marks whether you wish them BEFORE, BEHIND, or BEFORE and BEHIND the search term (e.g. lightweight*, *lightweight, *lightweight*).
Finds documents with the search term in different spellings. "?" allows only one character (e.g. organi?ation).
Special characters are understood as AND (e.g. Miller Bros. & Sons).

Abstract

This chapter delves into the seismic safety analysis of small modular reactors (SMRs) using a hybrid Boundary Element Method (BEM) and Finite Element Method (FEM) approach. The study emphasizes the critical role of terrain effects and soil-structure interaction in ensuring the safety of nuclear power plants. By combining BEM for far-field topographical effects and FEM for near-field soil-structure interaction, the authors provide a comprehensive analysis of seismic responses. The research includes detailed parametric studies and validates the method through simulations of nuclear power plant structures in a valley with hilly terrain. Key findings highlight the differences in seismic responses due to terrain effects and the direction of the wavefield, underscoring the need for site-specific characterization and analysis. The chapter concludes with insights into the decision-making process for nuclear reactor construction sites, emphasizing the importance of topography, incident wavefield, and soil-structure interaction in nuclear power plant clusters.
