Free Vibration Analysis of the Partial Fuel Assembly Under Water Using Substructure Method
부분구조법을 이용한 부분핵연료 집합체의 수중 자유진동해석
Abstract
Finite element vibration analysis of the trial 5x5 partial fuel assembly in the still water was performed using the substructure method. ANSYS software was used as a finite element modeling and modal analysis tool. The calculated natural frequencies of the partial fuel assembly were more consistent with the experimental results for the identical test model compared to the much larger solid model. This modeling technique can be utilized for the fuel assembly dynamic behavior analysis under normal operation, seismic and loss-of-coolant-accident analysis.
