Inelastic finite element cyclic analysis of a nozzle-to-cylinder intersection

Creators

Description

A finite element elastic-plastic and creep analysis of a nozzle-to-cylinder intersection subject to cyclic thermal shock, internal pressure, and mechanical loads is presented. The nozzle configuration is that of the intermediate heat exchanger (IHX) for the Fast Flux Test Facility (FFTF). The analysis was performed using the general purpose program MARC. Both the elastic and inelastic results of the analysis are presented. The intention of this study to analytically investigate the applicability of simplified ratchetting and creep-fatigue rules for LMFBR components, as a part of a program covering various geometries and loadings
