Comparison of thermomechanical calculations for highly non-linear quasistatic drift deformations

Creators

Description

Results of code calculations for the November 14, 1979, Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) Code Benchmark Workshop are compared. The results from five different codes (COUPLEFLO, JAC, SANCHO, SPECTROM, and STEALTH) are given for a problem involving the creep closure of an underground drift. The basic features of the codes are summarized and the codes are evaluated in terms of their applicability to WIPP problems. The codes predicted essentially the same response for this problem, and they appear to be nearly equally applicable to problems of this type. Also, a new benchmark problem is suggested along with a more realistic creep model for bedded salt
