Transactions of the 12. international conference on structural mechanics in reactor technology. Volume B: Computational mechanics

This volume includes papers dealing with computational methods for modeling stress analysis, strains, crack propagation, fluid-structure interactions, failure propagation of reactor components. The structures mentioned are containment shells, cooling systems, control element drives, pressure vessels. Most frequently used method in this field is the finite element model, sometimes compared to boundary element method. Different approximation are proposed for solving most frequently non-linear problems of structural mechanics
