Jacques Heyman’s 1966 article “The Stone Skeleton” has been influential in the assessment of masonry arches in general, including masonry bridges and gothic architecture. Heyman’s article relies on limiting assumptions about arch behavior, an

MCNP6 is simply and accurately described as the merger of MCNP5 and MCNPX capabilities, but it is much more than the sum of those two computer codes. MCNP6 is the result of five years of effort by ...

Improvements incorporated into MCNP variance reduction methodology and code releases since 2000 are discussed. Some of the improvements are modifications or generalizations of older techniques, and...

Particle fluxes on surfaces are difficult to calculate with Monte Carlo codes because the score requires a division by the surface-crossing angle cosine, and grazing angles lead to inaccuracies. We revisit the standard practice of dividing by half of

The usual Monte Carlo approach to the thermal radiative transfer problem is to view Monte Carlo as a solution technique for the nonlinear thermal radiative transfer equations. The equations contain time derivatives which are approximated by introduci

Recently, we proposed a modified power iteration method that simultaneously determines the dominant and subdominant eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of a matrix or a continuous operator. One advantag...
