Experimental dynamic analysis of a manipulator crane and analytical prediction of results

Creators

Description

The governing loads taken into consideration in the design of the manipulator crane (i.e. the fuel loading machine) of a pressurized water reactor are seismic loads. Such loads are derived from a response spectrum analysis using a finite element model of the manipulator crane in a fuel loading position above the reactor vessel. In order to qualify the mathematical model of the manipulator crane used in this analysis, FRAMATOME and REEL have performed an experimental modal analysis of the crane for a four loop reactor. Experimental results are compared to calculated frequencies and mode shapes
