An overview of R and D work performed in France concerning the risk of brittle fracture of transport casks

Abstract

An overview is given of the methodology followed in France to evaluate the risk of brittle fracture in transport casks. Various aspects are considered in this evaluation. First; the material characterisation: effect of strain rate and temperature on tensile properties and toughness. Secondly: evaluation of applied stress under dynamic loading and criteria to define worst cases (time, distribution). Thirdly: the global validation is presented to demonstrate that the whole methodology is conservative; consideration of representative analytical cases where initiation is obtained under controlled conditions. Results are presented concerning cast ductile iron and carbon steel materials. (author).
