BUCKLE; creep buckling of initially oval tube. [CDC6600; FORTRAN IV]

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6346409
BUCKLE is a one-dimensional computer code compiled to calculate the change in ovality, of an initially oval, closed-end finite length tube, as a function of time, temperature, neutron flux and uniform external pressure. The basic concept employed in BUCKLE is that a tube, which is slightly out-of-round, tends to become more out-of-round with time when subjected to net uniform external pressure. The timewise change in ovality occurs as a consequence of creep deformations arising from tangential compressive and tangential bending stresses produced by uniform external pressures acting on an initially oval tube.CDC6600; FORTRAN IV; SCOPE 4.2; 54K words addressable core storage are required.
