3D FEA elastoplastic structural analysis of hypothetically cracked Monju FBR core support structures

Garcia Rodriguez, D.; Matsubara, Shinichiro

Structural reliability of the circumferentially cracked core support mount of Monju FBR is analyzed using FEA. The 3D shell model employed was derived after detailed evaluation of the core support mount behavior with a specific 3D solid model. 1st, elastoplastic static analysis shows that, under nominal operating conditions, the overall structure would be able to survive a total loss of the core support mount. 2nd, using the double elastic slope method it was inferred that earthquake loading integrity could be warranted up to a crack representing over 50% of the total circumference.
