Comparison of linear and nonlinear seismic analysis of piping

  • 1. Westinghouse Electr Corp, Madison, Pa

Description

Mechanical snubbers with gaps as large as 1.5 mm (0.060 inches) are used on LMFBR primary piping. Therefore, linear response spectrum analysis for this application would require technical justification. This paper takes a typical LMFBR primary crossover leg and performs both nonlinear time history and response spectrum analyses. Comparisons are made between the methods. Some parameters are investigated and some conclusions and recommendations are made. 5 refs
