Abstract

In this paper, a mathematical methodology was theoretically studied to obtain the impact force caused by the collision between rigid bodies. This theoretical methodology was applied to compute the impact force applied on the spent nuclear fuel disposal canister that accidentally drops and collides onto the ground. From this study, the impact force required to ensure a structurally safe canister design was theoretically formulated. The main content of the theoretical study concerns the rigid body kinematics and equation of motion during collision between two rigid bodies. On the basis of this study, a general impact theory to compute the impact force caused by the collision between two bodies was developed. This general impact theory was applied to theoretically formulate the approximate mathematical solution of the impact force that affects the spent nuclear fuel disposal canister that accidentally falls to the ground. Simultaneously, a numerical analysis was performed using the computer code to compute the numerical solution of the impact force, and the numerical result was compared with the approximate mathematical solution.

본 논문에서는 강체 간 충돌에 의해 발생하는 충격력을 얻는 수학적 방법이 이론적으로 연구되었다. 이 이론적 방법은 사고로 지면에 추락낙하 하는 고준위폐기물 처분용기에 가해지는 충격력을 구하는 데에 적용되었다. 이 연구로부터 고준위폐기물 처분용기의 구조 안전성 설계에 요구되는 충격력이 이론적으로 유도되었다. 이론연구의 주된 내용은 두 강체의 충돌 시 강체운동학과 운동방정식에 관한 것이다. 이를 토대로 두 물체 간 충돌 시 발생하는 충격력을 구하는 일반적인 충격이론이 개발되었다. 이 충격이론을 처분장에서 처분용기 운송 시 운반차량에서 사고로 추락낙하 하여 지면과 충돌하는 처분용기에 발생하는 충격력을 구하는 문제에 적용하여 충격력에 대한 수학적 근사해를 이론적으로 구하였다. 동시에 컴퓨터코드를 이용한 수치해석을 수행하여 구한 수치해를 수학적 근사해와 비교하였다.
