TY - JOUR A1 - Kasparek, Eva Maria A1 - Völzke, Holger A1 - Scheidemann, Robert T1 - Simulation of shock absorbing materials loaded by drop weights T2 - Atw N2 - The numerical Simulation of transport and storage casks for radioactive waste in accidental scenarios requires adequate material models and input parameters for all relevant structural cask elements, the Impact foundation as well as possibly further components involved in the incident. They form the basis for reliable analysis of different loading situations allowing substituting, at least in parts, experimental investigations that are needed in safety Reports submitted for nuclear licensing procedures. Hereby, the efficiency of the energy absorbing components, such as cask Impact limiters or equivalent structures placed onto or into the foundation of storage buildings, determine to a large extend the performance and thus the design of the casks. The limiters, which are usually made of wood, polyurethane foam (PUF) or damping concrete, are subjected to Major plastic deformations, whose Distribution and magnitude strongly depend on loading speed, course and temperature. Consequently, it is necessary to establish a systematic data basis and implement this information in advanced numerical material formulations in Order to enable finite element simulations to account for all relevant factors.
