Description

The stress analyses of a small PWR research pressure vessel for prospective construction in Brazil are presented. Actually the stress analyses of the vessel were concluded for the design conditions and for some dynamic postulated loads. Axisymmetric shell 3-D shell, and beam finite element models were used. The obtained results were compared to the allowable limits established by the Section III of the ASME code. (author). 7 refs., 7 figs
