SHOCK AND VIBRATION IN NAVAL REACTORS

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/4322693· OSTI ID:4322693
The problem of designing a reactor to withstand the shocks and vibration incident to shipboard service in Naval craft consists of three principal parts. First the loads must be defined in some rational manner, then the responses of the various reactor structures to these loads must be predicted, and finally the responses must be compared to some damage criteria to determine whether the design is adequate or not. A brief discussion of each of these major parts is given, and then a specific example is worked through to illustrate what is involved in the whole process. (auth)
