Particle damping has emerged as an effective passive method to suppress unwanted vibrations in a range of engineering applications. By utilising the inelastic collisions and friction between granular ...

Ankit Saxena wants to protect nuclear reactors and other infrastructure from future seismic activity. And he sees particle dampers, a vibration-damping technology, as the key to success. To further ...

Both spatially and financially, nuclear reactors are costly projects — especially when deterred by natural earthly causes. In particular, nuclear infrastructure can easily be disrupted by seismic ...
