Finite Element Modeling and Analysis of Nonlinear Impact and Frictional Motion Responses Including Fluid—Structure Coupling Effects
A nonlinear three dimensional (3D) single rack model and a nonlinear 3D whole pool multi-rack model are developed for the spent fuel storage racks of a nuclear power plant (NPP) to determine impacts and frictional motion responses when subjected to 3D excitations from the supporting building floor....
