Finite element analysis of irradiation-induced dilation of the fuel subassembly duct in LMFBR
Background: The calculation of irradiation-induced dilation of the fuel subassembly duct in LMFBR is important for fast reactor core design.Purpose: To investigate how to calculate the dilation by using finite element method(FEM).Methods: First
irradiation-induced creep and swelling material models are introduced.Then
a theoretical solution based on a simplified bending plate model is briefly given.Finally
a stress update scheme for the adopted material models is presented and furthermore embedded into ABAQUS user interface UMAT to conduct finite element analysis.Both solutions are compared and discussed.Results: FEM successfully predicts the duct dilation and its solution agrees well with theoretical one in small deformation.Conclusions: The proposed stress update scheme is effective.The accuracy of the theory solution declines when dilation becomes larger.The maximum stress occurs at the duct corner point
