THERMAL BUCKLING OF CRUCIFORM CONTROL RODS

Journal Article · · Nuclear Sci. and Eng.
OSTI ID:4254892
A criterion is derived for thermal torsional buckling of a cruciform bar subjected to transverse temperature gradients, and a numerical procedure for the evaluation of this criterion is presented. The problem is of interest in connection with the design and selection of control rods for nuclear reactors. (auth)
