NUBOW; structural analysis bowed reactor cores. [IBM360,370/195; FORTRAN IV]

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6212228
NUBOW performs a two-dimensional elastic analysis of reactor core systems subjected to thermal and/or mechanical bowing. Reactor assemblies are considered to be elastic beam members which may have variable geometry. Equilibrium forces and positions are calculated along with the shapes of individual rows. Clearance and local flexibility are allowed at all contacts.IBM360,370/195; FORTRAN IV; OS/360,370; 240K words of memory are required to compile, 130K to execute..
