Elastic-plastic finite element analysis was performed for low cycle fatigue behavior of stainless steel/alumina-dispersion-strengthened copper (DS Cu) joint in order to investigate the fatigue life and the fracture behavior of the joint. As the results, a strain concentration was occurred near the interface of DS Cu for small strain range, however, in the DS Cu for large strain range. The fatigue life and fracture point were evaluated taking account for the strain concentration. The fatigue life and fracture point were consistent with those of the low cycle fatigue test.

A 1-MW spallation neutron source aiming at materials and life science researches will be constructed under the JAERI-KEK Proton Accelerator Project(J-PARC). The proton beam window functions as a boundary wall between a high vacuum area and a helium atmosphere and it is cooled by light water because high heat-density is generated in the window material by interactions with the proton beam. Then, uniformity of the water flow is requested at the window to suppress a hot-spot that causes excessive thermal stress and cooling water boiling. Also, the window has to be strong enough in its structure for inner stress due to water pressure and thermal stress due to heat generation. In this report, we propose two types of proton beam windows, flat-type and curved-type. We evaluated the strength of structure and thermal hydraulic analysis. As a result, it was found that sufficient heat removal was assured with uniform water flow at the window, and the stress could be maintained below allowable stress values. Accordingly, it was confirmed that the proton beam window designs were feasible.

Buckling evaluation methods capable of evaluating elasto-plastic buckling under axial compression, bending, and shear loads are required for cylindrical vessels of fast reactors in order to cope with thinning due to the increase in diameter, adoption of new materials, and adoption of seismic isolation design due to the increase in the standard seismic ground motion. Buckling evaluation methods corresponding to the above are being considered in the fast reactor standards of the Japan Society of Mechanical Engineers. In this study, in order to examine the applicability of the proposed buckling evaluation equation, Monte Carlo simulation was carried out using material properties and initial imperfections, which are the fluctuation factors of buckling strength, as parameters, and the effect of the fluctuation of these factors on buckling load was evaluated. When the buckling load was normalized by the buckling critical value according to the proposed formula using the longitudinal elastic modulus and the design yield stress of JSME S NC2-2013, the 95% lower confidence limit exceeded the threshold of the proposed formula for both the vertical single load condition and the horizontal and vertical combined load condition. The results show that the buckling critical value calculated by using the design yield stress in the proposed equation is more conservative than the 95% lower confidence limit of the actual buckling load affected by the scatter of material properties and others.
