Behavior of spherical PWR-containments close to reinforced sections under excessive internal pressure
Description
It is assumed that the pressure inside the containment is growing montonically. The response, including the failure of the containment shell at zones located close to reinforced sections, must be investigated. For this purpose a computer program has been developed and checked with several membrane experiments. It turns out that membrane failure is controlled by plastic instability. Some shortcomings in modelling the necking regions which occur around reinforced sections still need to be resolved
