Possible handling accidents of casks at interim storage sites or in a final repository are typically analyzed by dynamic finite element computations. In each case the investigated load scenario must be transferred into a mathematical model. Secondly the mathematical model must be transferred into a numerical model. Reliable finite element models should be developed by assembling verified sub-models of components. The finite element mesh, material modeling, initial and boundary conditions, contact definitions, and time integration as well as the benefit of pre- and post-calculations are discussed. The paper presents lessons learnt from modeling dynamic test scenarios for finite element analyses over the years.

Both, experimental and computational methods (Finite Element Analysis) are involved. Among electrical sensor techniques optical measurement methods capable of dynamic and static 3D deformation analysis are applied. On the one hand this includes the Projected Fringes Method which provides a virtual digital round-about model of the actual package surface shape. On the other hand there is the Stereo Photogrammetry used for high speed imaging of points rich in contrast and permanently fixed to the container while dropping. Technical features of both methods are discussed. Diverse measurement results are compared with those of alternative experimental techniques as well as numerical simula-tions.

The assessment procedure applied by BAM is based on a series of full-scale drop tests with different drop heights and Container Orientations. In parallel dynamic FEM calculations are performed. The Container behaviour is monitored during the drop test by a large number of simultaneously triggered biaxial electrical strain gauges and uniaxial accelerometers in order to measure local strains at selected positions and to determine the kinematic behaviour and Orientation of the Container during the impact. Within a research project a dynamic Stereo photogrammetry approach was applied in a high-speed camera configuration to investigate the kinematic rigid body behaviour, relative local movements of the Container or its structural parts in 3D, respectively. In the following the results of this approach are presented. A comprehensive description how to use optica) methods in drop tests can be found in.
