RISK-INFORMED STRENGTH DESIGN OF HOT MOLTEN SALT STORAGE TANK FOR CSP PLANTS by ZENG Xin, CAI Jun, ZHENG WeiDong, LI FangYa, YE DongTing, HU JingDong, LIU ChangJun

“…The results show that when the equivalent friction coefficient of bottom plate is greater than 0.65, the tank could have ratchet damage during heat-up stage. When the thickness of sand layer is greater than 60 mm, the sidewall of the storage tank could be instantaneously fractured. …”

Local time statistics and permeable barrier crossing: From Poisson to birth-death diffusion equations by Toby Kay, Luca Giuggioli

“…As the asymmetric permeabilities act akin to localized ratchet potentials that break spatial symmetry and detailed balance, the proposed arrangement of asymmetric barriers provides an example of a noise-induced drift without the need to time modulate any external force or create temporal correlations on the motion of a diffusing particle. …”

Evaluation of osseointegration of dental implant with and without primary stability: An experimental study on sheep by Diyar M. Kheder, Ahmed A. Hayder

“…Forty implants were inserted, 20 implants in the study group (3.3 mm diameter and 8 mm length) and 20 implants in the control group (4.3 mm diameter and 8 mm length), after 3 months the 4 sheep were sacrificed and the universal torque ratchet and Periotest was used to measure the stability of the dental implants clinically. …”

Near tip strain evolution of a growing fatigue crack by M.-L. Zhu, Y.-W. Lu, C. Lupton, J. Tong

“…A method for the determination of crack tip location is proposed for the DIC analysis. Strain ratchetting is observed ahead of the growing fatigue crack tip and found to be dependent on the distance to the crack tip; whilst normal strains appear to stabilise behind the crack tip.…”

Procedural Policy Tools and the Temporal Dimensions of Policy Design by Michael Howlett

“…This ignores the important issue of the intentional sequencing of tools as part of a mix design, either in terms of controlling spillovers which emerge as implementation proceeds, ratcheting up (or down) specific tool effects like stringency of implementation and public consultation as time passes. …”

Numerical analysis of hydrogen-assisted rolling-contact fatigue of wind turbine bearings by J. Toribio, M. Lorenzo, D. Vergara, V. Kharin

“…Three important aspects linked with bearing failures are being extensively researched: (i) rolling contact fatigue (RCF), (ii) influence of carbide particles on fatigue life, and (iii) local microplastic strain accumulation via ratcheting. However, there is no reference related to bearing failure in harsh environment. …”
