Inelastic response of nuclear piping subjected to rupture forces

  • 1. Univ of South Calif, Los Angeles

Description

A numerical procedure which can be used to evaluate the inelastic dynamic response of piping systems subjected to blow-down forces is described. The following finite elements are used to represent the piping system: bilinear beam element, bilinear curved beam element, and bilinear support element with an initial gap. The method is then used to evaluate the dynamic response of two typical segments of a main steamline. 6 refs
