| Abstract | This Engineering Research Initiation (ERI) award supports research that focuses on the development of a novel, location-independent seismic protection system (SPS) for nuclear power plants (NPPs) called the Globally Responsive Absolute Seismic Protection (GRASP). GRASP seeks to utilize locally resonant particle dampers (PDs), a passive vibration control technology composed of a particle-filled cavity that dissipates energy through particle-particle collisions and friction, as the SPS The GRASP s |
