Dynamic benchmark solution for a hypothetical reactor system

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5569619
This report is the second volume of a collection of benchmark problems for verifying the validity of structural computer programs used in the nuclear industry to perform static and dynamic analyses of piping systems. It describes the analysis of a hypothetical two-loop reactor system consisting of an elastically supported reactor vessel, steam generator, and pumps connected by three- and four-foot diameter piping. Using a forcing function, the El-Centro earthquake of 1940, the response of the system was determined by the Response Spectrum Method, the Modal Superposition Method, and the Direct Time Integration Method through application of the BNL Computer Program EPIPE. This report contains a complete listing of the input data required to perform the analysis as well as the listings of the output stress and deflection results of the three solutions.
