High Temperature Reactor

The spent nuclear fuel of HTR-PM (High Temperature Reactor–Pebblebed Modules) will be dry stored in wells. In the mouth of each well, there is a cover weighing 11 tons. A lifting appliance with three hooks is used to open and close the covers. The hooks are L-shaped with fillet at the inside corner. The stress concentration at the corner has a significant impact on the strength and fatigue life of hooks. For optimizing the structure of the hook, the stress concentration factor related to the radius of fillet is calculated by both theoretical and numerical methods. The theoretical calculation is based on the Saint-Venant’s Principle and the analytical solution of a curved beam. The result is consistent with the numerical calculation performed by the finite element method.

Method Of Calculation

The paper analyzes stresses in an area of tension-type with geometric discontinuity concentrator. The geometric discontinuity is a hole located in a thin plate of finite dimension. The stresses and their variations were determined using the finite element method (FEM). Stresses values obtained with FEM, were used as basic data on the method of least squares to determine an analytical relationship, for calculating the coefficient of stress concentration. Relationship obtained by this method of calculation is compared with those in the technical literature.

Element Method

The procedure for solving the plane problem of the linear theory of viscoelasticity by the finite element method is described. Based on the virtual work principle and the assumption of the constancy of the strain rate at small intervals of time, the matrix form of the equilibrium equations of the finite-element approximation of a body is written. The solution procedure is described for the constitutive relations in the Boltzmann—Volterra integral form. This integral is transformed into an incremental form on a time mesh, at each interval of which the problem is solved by the finite element method with unknown increments of displacements. The numerical procedure is constructed by ununiformly dividing the time interval, at which the study is conducted. In this case, the stiffness matrix requires recalculation at each time step. The relaxation functions of the moduli of a viscoelastic orthotropic material are described in the form of the Proni—Dirichlet series. The solution to the problem of determining the change over time of the stress concentration in a body with a round hole in a viscoelastic orthotropic plate is presented. To construct a numerical solution, the three moduli of orthotropic material were written using one exponent with the same relaxation time. For these initial data, an analytic expression for the viscoelastic components of the stiffness matrix of an orthotropic plate under plain stress conditions is constructed. Numerical examples are presented for several ratios of the hole radius to the size of the plate. These results are compared with the solution obtained for an infinite plate by inverse transformation by a numerical method of the well-known analytic elastic solution.

The stress concentration around a circular hole in a plate can be reduced by up to 21 per cent by introducing auxiliary holes on either side of the original hole. But this approach of auxiliary holes creates two more regions of stress concentration in the plate. In the present study, the hole geometry has been modified to effect stress reductions as high as 22 per cent. The problem has been analysed numerically by the finite element method and experimentally by two-dimensional photoelasticity. It has been observed that by making the hole oblong in the direction of loading, a high order of reduction in stress concentration around the hole can be obtained.

Two Factors

In this study, equations of the maximum bending stress (MBS) on the root of driving tine of the space-curve meshing-wheel (SCMW) are deduced. Four factors have an impact on stress concentration of the driving tines, the helix angle, the fillet, the diameter of driving tines and the radius of the spiral curve for driving tine. They have been studied by Finite Element Method (FEM). Results show the former two factors have great impact on stress concentration while the last two could be ignored. Then the method to gain the stress concentration factor is proposed. It makes the theoretical result of the MBS on the root of driving tine match the actual result.
