A code for structural analysis of fuel assemblies

Description

It's presented the code ELCOM for the matrix analysis of tubular structures coupled by rigid spacers, typical of PWR's fuel elements. The code ELCOM makes a static structural analysis, where the displacements and internal forces are obtained for each tubular structure at the joints with the spacers, and also, the natural frequencies and vibrational modes of an equilavent integrated structure are obtained. The ELCOM result is compared to a PWR fuel element structural analysis obtained in published paper. (author)

Abstract (Portuguese)

E apresentado do programa computacional ELCOM, para analise matricial de estruturas formadas por conjunto de tubos acoplados por espacadores rigidos, tipicas de elementos combustiveis de reatores nucleares PWR. O programa ELCOM executa analise estatica, onde sao obtidos esforcos e deslocabilidades para cada tubo nos pontos de ligacao com os espacadores, e tambem, fornece as frequencias e modos de vibracao naturais para uma estrutura integrada equivalente. E comparado o resultado do ELCOM com um exemplo de literatura sobre elemento combustivel de PWR. (autor)
