Lifetime analysis of plasma side components
A one-dimensional computer code (FLIP, Fusion Lifetime Prediction) has been developed to examine the lifetime of first wall and impurity control components. The code incorporates the operating and design parameters, the material characteristics, and the appropriate failure criteria for the individual components. The major emphasis of the modelling effort has been to calculate the temperature-stress-strain-radiation effects history of a component so that the synergistic effects between sputtering erosion, swelling, creep, fatigue, and crack growth can be examined. The general forms of the property equations are the same for all materials in order to provide the greatest flexibility for materials selection in the code. The code is capable of determining the behavior of a plate, composed of either a single or dual material structure, that is either totally constrained, or constrained from bending but not from expansion. The code has been utilized to analyze plasma side components for INTOR. 10 refs.
