Description

In the dynamic analysis of nuclear power plants, it may be necessary to include sliding and lift-off in the mathematical model of the nuclear supply system. This is due to the fact that various equipment and components are generally not fastened to adjacent structural members or to the supporting foundation and, therefore, may slide or lift- off when subjected to extreme loads. This paper presents a nonlinear transient dynamic time history analysis of a pressurized water reactor (PWR) vessel and its internals subjected to seismic loads
