In the present work, the Bayesian ensemble approach to model decomposition of time series, originally developed for remote sensing of the earth, is applied to various global measurements routinely available in tokamak devices. Among the competitive advantages of the methodology, particularly relevant are its holistic view of the data and the independence from the details of the statistical algorithms and models.

The approach proves to be very reliable in modelling trends and determining the time locations of abrupt changes even of strongly oscillatory components, such as ELMs and sawteeth. Deployment to assess small drifts confirms the lack of stationarity in tokamak high performance discharges. The difficulties of modelling the details of the sawteeth and irregular ELMs indicate the need to improve the method to deal with seasonal components of complex harmonic content and/or varying frequency.

Pebble beds, composed of assembled particles, are employed in blanket models to achieve neutron multiplication and tritium breeding using different materials. However, electromagnetic (EM) forces induced by plasma events can disturb the pebble bed, potentially altering its internal structure and the initial packing characteristics. These structural changes can significantly affect the physical properties and stability of the pebble beds. Despite its importance, studies investigating the structural behavior of pebble beds under the influence of EM force disturbances remain limited. This paper investigates the structural evolution of the Be pebble beds under the EM force perturbations in the fusion reactors. Using a coupled approach of Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and Discrete Element Method (DEM), the multiscale characteristics of the pebble bed are analyzed at mesoscopic and microscopic levels. Key factors, including the local packing factor, particle slip, force transmission, force chains, fabric anisotropy, wall forces, and energy dissipation, are systematically evaluated. The results indicate that EM force generated during plasma instability events significantly influence the pebble bed structure. EM force perturbations notably affect particle slip, fabric anisotropy, wall forces, and local packing factors, while the changes for the force chains are minimal. The force transmission within the pebble bed primarily aligns with the direction of the applied EM force. Additionally, the perturbation energy is mainly dissipated as frictional and strain energy. These findings provide valuable insights into the structural evolution of pebble beds under EM disturbances, offering guidance for improving the design and structural stability of pebble beds in fusion reactors.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55133,"journal":{"name":"Fusion Engineering and Design","volume":"220 ","pages":"Article 115354"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2025-07-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144679772","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, the SPTAs/V/CLAM steel joints were produced by the spark plasma diffusion bonding (SPDB) technique. Investigation of the roles of current direction on the atomic diffusion behavior at interfaces by a scanning electron microscopy and an equipped energy dispersive spectrometer. It is found that the thickness of the diffusion layer at the SPTAs/V interface is independent on the current direction. However, there shows a thicker diffusion layer (σ and vanadium carbide phases) at the V/CLAM steel interface when the current flows through from CLAM steel side to SPTAs side. It is owing to the direction of the electron wind force coincides with the diffusion direction of dominated atom (V). The produced SPTAs/V/CLAM steel joints show good shear strength (201±24 MPa) and thermal cycling performance (35 cycles). In addition, a skillful method was proposed to quantify the directional effect of current on the interdiffusion between Fe and V, accounting for 36.7 %. This study provides a practical and theoretical support on joining dissimilar materials by designing current direction using SPDB technique.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":55133,"journal":{"name":"Fusion Engineering and Design","volume":"220 ","pages":"Article 115350"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2025-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144654006","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
