Abstract

In this paper, the two-dimensional(2D) and three-dimensional(3D) analyses have been performed in order to evaluate the structural integrities and compare 2D and 3D results for nozzles attached to cylindrical shells. Three nozzles, which are currently used in the nuclear power plant, are chosen to evaluate the structural integrities, and each nozzle is subjected to internal pressure, temperature variation and external loads. It is found that the 2D analysis for internal pressure should be performed with a factor of more than 1.5 or a stress concentration factor; 2D and 3D analysis results for temperature variation are almost similar to each other regardless of cladding; and the analysis results for external loads by WRC Bulletin 297 are more conservative than the 3D analysis results.

본 논문에서는 원통형 쉘에 부착된 노즐의 구조 건전성평가를 수행하고 그 결과를 비교하기 위해 2차원(2D)과 3차원(3D) 해석이 수행되었다. 현재 원자력 발전소에서 사용되는 3개의 노즐을 구조 건전성평가를 위해 선정하였고, 각각 노즐은 내부압력, 온도변화 및 외부하중을 받는다. 내부압력에 대한 2D 해석은 1.5이상의 계수 값을 이용하거나 응력집중 계수를 적용하여야 하고, 온도변화에 대한 2D와 3D 해석결과는 피복재의 유무와 상관없이 서로 거의 비슷하며, 외부하중에 대한 WRC Bulletin 297에 의한 해석결과는 3D 해석결과보다 더 보수적임을 확인할 수 있었다.
