A fluid-structure finite element method for the analysis of reactor safety problems
A method is presented for the safety analysis of reactor containment structures by means of finite elements. The finite element equations of both fluid and structural elements for arbitrarily large, non-linear response are developed and the way in which they are combined is indicated. Both explicit...

| Zusammenfassung: | A method is presented for the safety analysis of reactor containment structures by means of finite elements. The finite element equations of both fluid and structural elements for arbitrarily large, non-linear response are developed and the way in which they are combined is indicated. Both explicit and implicit integration of the equations in time is considered. Three examples of the application of these methods to the analyses of reactor safety problems are described. |
