It has been reported that coating such porous ceramics with gelatin allows for an improved compressive strength. Little details regarding the influence of important gelatin parameters such as concentration, temperature and drying conditions as well as bloom number which is a measure of the gel rigidity, on this toughening effect are available. This paper investigates the influence of these parameters on compressive strength of gelatin coated porous hydroxyapatite ceramics. It was found that concentration in the gelatin sols has a marked impact whereas sol temperature, bloom number and differing conditions during subsequent drying have only little influence on the compressive strength of the coated ceramics.

Bei der Bewertung von Transportbehältern für radioaktive Stoffe im Rahmen der Bauartprüfung sowie für Risikoanalysen beim Transport radioaktiver Stoffe ist eine Simulation des Verhaltens holzgefüllter, stoßdämpfender Bauteile von Transportbehältern von großem Interesse, da diese in einer Unfallsituation einen Großteil der Aufprallenergie aufnehmen und damit die maximale Stoßkraft deutlich verringern. Damit haben die stoßdämpfenden Bauteile maßgeblichen Einfluss auf die Einhaltung der vom Versandstück zu gewährleistenden Schutzziele. Das Verhalten stoßdämpfender Bauteile wird von einer Vielzahl von Parametern wie Stoßdämpferkonstruktion, Materialeigenschaften und Beanspruchungsrandbedingungen beeinflusst. Es bestehen Unsicherheiten bei der Anwendung von vereinfachten numerischen Verfahren zur Berechnung derartiger Bauteile. Für die Simulation mit Hilfe von komplexen numerischen Verfahren wie dynamische Finite-Elemente-Methoden (FEM) ist bisher keine Modellbildung für die Kompression von Holz in axialer Richtung bei großen Deformationen erfolgt. Die in dieser Arbeit durchgeführten Untersuchungen haben sich daher auf die Modellbildung sowie die Untersuchung der Anwendbarkeit verschiedener Modellierungsformen konzentriert. Auf Basis von Erkenntnissen aus der Analyse stoßdämpfender Bauteile von Prototypen von Brennelementtransportbehältern nach einer 9-m-Fallprüfung auf ein unnachgiebiges Fundament und von in dieser Arbeit durchgeführten Stoßversuchen auf Holzproben wurde ein Modell für das Verhalten von Holz bei axialer Beanspruchung und großen Deformationen entwickelt. Das Modell beschreibt die bei der axialen Druckbeanspruchung von Holz auftretende Entfestigung als Funktion der seitlichen Dehnungsbehinderung. Die Energie, die vom Holz absorbiert werden kann, ist umso größer, je größer die seitliche Dehnungsbehinderung ist. Für das stoßdämpfende Bauteil resultiert daraus, dass die Energieabsorptionsfähigkeit des Stoßdämpfers von der Fähigkeit der äußeren Blechstruktur, ein Ausweichen der hoch belasteten Holzpakete zu verhindern, abhängt. Damit wurde ein Modell für das Verhalten von holzgefüllten Stoßdämpfern abgeleitet. Holz muss, um signifikant Energie zu absorbieren, durch starre Behälter- oder Stoßdämpferstrukturen lagestabilisierend abgedeckt sein. Für einen realistischen Vergleich zwischen gemessener und berechneter Stoßdämpferdeformation ist zu der gemessenen Verformung noch eine elastische Rückfederung des stoßdämpfenden Bauteils nach dem Aufprall zu addieren. Das optische, zur Vermessung von dreidimensionalen Objekten entwickelte Messverfahren der Streifenprojektion wurde erstmalig für die Vermessung von stoßdämpfenden Bauteilen von Transportbehältern für radioaktive Stoffe eingesetzt. Das Verfahren ermöglicht die Aufnahme der genauen Objektgeometrie vor und nach dem Versuch und eignet sich somit sehr gut für eine Schadens- und Verformungsdokumentation der stoßdämpfenden Bauteile von in Fallversuchen untersuchten Prüfmustern. Es wurde gezeigt, dass für Behälter mit großen, relativ zueinander beweglichen Massen das verbreitete Bewertungsschema der Begrenzung der Starrkörperverzögerung für eine Beanspruchungsermittlung an den Komponenten des Versandstücks nicht geeignet ist, da das System nicht mehr als Starrkörper aufgefasst werden kann. Es wurde das vereinfachte numerische Verfahren „ImpactCalc“', mit dem Starrkörperverzögerungen und Stoßdämpferdeformationen ermittelt werden können, entwickelt und bewertet. Das Verfahren kann für mechanische Nachweise der Einhaltung der Schutzziele für Versandstücke mit radioaktiven Stoffen in der Bauartprüfung zielführend eingesetzt werden, wenn das Versandstück exklusive der Stoßdämpfer als Starrkörper betrachtet werden kann und ein entsprechender Sicherheitsfaktor angewendet wird. Für die Risikoanalyse können auf einfache und kostengünstige Weise Beanspruchungen durch verschiedene Unfallsituationen, beispielsweise der Aufprall auf reale Fundamente, abgeschätzt und mit dem Aufprall auf das unnachgiebige Prüfstandsfundament verglichen werden. Für Finite-Elemente-Verfahren wurde aufbauend auf den Schlussfolgerungen zum Verhalten von Holz bei Kompression unter großen Deformationen ein kontinuumsmechanisches Ersatzmodell vorgeschlagen, das die seitliche Dehnungsbehinderung als Mehrachsigkeit des Spannungszustandes im Ersatzkontinuum in Betracht zieht. Mit Hilfe des kommerziellen Finite-Elemente-Programms LS-DYNA wurde die Anwendbarkeit verschiedener Materialmodelle auf dieses Ersatzmodell sowie weitere vorgeschlagene Modellierungsformen untersucht. Mit keiner der untersuchten Kombinationen ist es gelungen, global das Verhalten von Holz im Nachbruchbereich inkl. Entfestigung zu modellieren. Durch Simulation eines Fallversuchs mit einer behälterähnlichen Ersatzmasse und stoßdämpfenden Bauteilen wurden verschiedene Modellierungsformen und Detaillierungsgrade für stoßdämpfende Bauteile von Transportbehältern für radioaktive Stoffe untersucht und bewertet. Kann eine weitreichende Verifikation mit experimentellen Methoden vorausgesetzt werden, lässt sich die FEM in Bauartprüfung und Risikoanalyse zielführend für die Beanspruchungsermittlung anwenden. Durch eine experimentelle Verifikation muss das Simulationsmodell an die im Versuch herrschenden Randbedingungen bezüglich der seitlichen Stützung des Holzes angepasst werden. N2 - Transport casks for radioactive materials with a Type-B package certificate have to ensure that even under severe accident scenarios the radioactive content remains safely enclosed, in an undercritical arrangement and that ionising radiation is sufficiently shielded. The impact limiter absorbs in an accident scenario the major part of the impact energy and reduces the maximum force applied on the cask body. Therefore the simulation of the behaviour of impact limiting devices of transport casks for nuclear material is of great interest for the design assessment in the package approval as well as for risk analysis in the field of transport of radioactive materials. The behaviour of the impact limiter is influenced by a number of parameters like impact limiter construction, material properties and loading conditions. Uncertainties exist for the application of simplified numerical tools for calculations of impact limiting devices. Uncertainties exist when applying simplified numerical tools. A model describing the compression of wood in axial direction of wood under large deformations for simulation with complex numerical procedures like dynamic Finite Element Methods has not been developed yet. Therefore this thesis concentrates on deriving a physical model for the behaviour of wood and analysing the applicability of different modelling techniques. A model describing the compression of wood in axial direction under large deformations was developed on the basis of an analysis of impact limiter of prototypes of casks for radioactive materials after a 9-m-drop-test and impact tests with wooden specimens. The model describes the softening, which wood under large deformation exhibits, as a function of the lateral strain constraint. The larger the lateral strain restriction, the more energy wood can absorb. The energy absorption capacity of impact limiter depends therefore on the ability of the outer steel sheet structure to prevent wood from evading from the main absorption zone. This constitutes a model for the compression of impact limiters. In order to absorb significantly energy, wood must be stabilised by stiff cask or impact limiter structures. An elastic recovery has to be added to after the drop test measured deformations. The Projected Fringe Method for the 3-dimensional surface digitalisation was applied successfully for the first time. The method allows determining and charting the surface of the impact limiter in advance and after the test. Therefore it is suitable for a damage and deformation documentation of impact limiting devices subjected to a drop test. A simplified numerical tool for the calculation of rigid body decelerations and impact limiter deformations was developed. This tool can be applied purposefully in the design assessment of transport casks for radioactive materials under certain limitations. For a risk analysis different accident scenarios, for instance the impact on real targets, can be evaluated and compared to the regulatory impact in a simple and cost-efficient way. A full scale model of the CONSTOR V/TC was subjected to a 9-m-drop-test. The rigid-body- deceleration as an evaluation scheme, which is widely used up to now is not suited for an assessment of the loading of the package under accident conditions for casks like the CONSTOR V/TC with large, relative to each other movable masses. The cask can not be treated as a rigid body. A substitute model on the basis of conclusions from impact limiter analysis and wooden specimen impact tests was developed for the axial compression of wood. The substitute model takes the lateral strain constraint as triaxiality of the stress field into account. The applicability of different material formulations for the substitute model as well as further modelling techniques was analysed. Of the proposed combinations none could simulate the behaviour of wood under large deformations in an acceptable manner. Different modelling strategies for impact limiter of radioactive materials transport packages analysed and evaluated. The Finite Element Method can by applied purposeful in type assessment and in risk analysis. Prerequisite is an extensive verification with experimental methods, where the boundary conditions of the simulation have to be adjusted to the conditions in the impact limiter concerning lateral strain restriction.

The assessment includes a brittle fracture analysis of all relevant cask components. For cask bodies where a steel bottom is welded to a steel shell, specimens for testing of sufficient fracture resistance can normally not be extracted directly from the welding seam area of the cask. Therefore, a methodology has to be developed to ensure compliance with the safety analysis considerations and the approved design specification. This paper describes such a methodology including brittle fracture analysis and de-termination of required material properties as well as aspects of quality assurance during manufacturing.

The further development of state-of-the-art technology concerning assessment methods is essential for a qualified work of involved designers and authority experts. The paper gives an example of current development done to improve understanding and modeling capabilities of wood filled impact limiter. In order to reduce the loads applied to the package containment, which result from regulatory drop tests, most packages are protected by energy dissipating impact limiter. Wood, encapsulated by steel sheets, is one of the materials typically used for energy dissipation in these impact limiter. Very often, mechanical safety cases regarding the 9 m drop test are performed computationally, where it is essential to use reliable and verified computational methods and models. In this context, the paper presents an approach for a finite element material model for wood. Thereby, the mechanical behavior of wood under compression loading is the focus of the development work. Additionally, material orientation as well as strain rate, temperature and lateral constraint may vary. A large number of experiments, particularly compression tests, was designed and performed to establish an adequate experimental database for modeling verification. The experimental results enabled the derivation of necessary requirements: The material model has to take into account strain rate and temperature dependencies as well as the anisotropic characteristics of the material, a proper yield criterion, flow rule and hardening law. Such a material model is currently not available in established commercial dynamic finite element codes. Thus it is necessary to create a user-defined material model considering the mentioned requirements. A first step was done by determining a yield surface as well as detecting flow and hardening mechanisms from experimental force-deflection curves. In a next step the LS-DYNA material model MAT_75 was altered according to conclusions of former BAM development work, regarding the modeling of post-peak softening as a function of lateral constraint. Future research will contain the further development, implementation and verification of a material model for wood.

Material orientation, lateral constraint and loading rate were varied. Regarding material orientation, a reduction in the softening effect and the general force level was observed with a higher fiber-load angle. A comparison with characteristics gained by application of Hankinson's formula showed discrepancies in compression strength and the beginning of the hardening effect. Lateral constraint of the specimens caused a multiaxial stress state in the specimens, which was quantified with the applied measuring method. Further, a higher force level compared to specimens without lateral constraint and significant hardening effect at large deformations resulted. Thus, the influence of a multiaxial stress state on the force level could be determined. An increase in the loading rate led to higher force levels at any displacement value and material orientation.

Using wood as an energy absorber in impact limiter of packages for the transport of radioactive material, it is of particu-lar importance to ensure the moisture content and thus relevant mechanical properties to be in specified limits. The paper surveys the influence of wood moisture content on the mechanical properties of wood. Different measuring methods are discussed with respect to in-situ applicability, accuracy and effort. The results of an experimental ana-lysis of the accuracy of hand-held moisture meters using the electrical resistance method are discussed. Conclu-sions are drawn regarding the measurement of moisture content of wood upon delivery as well as of complete im-pact limiter assemblies. Requirements for quality surveillance during manufacturing of wood filled impact limiter are derived and it is exemplified how to meet them. Construction, manufacturing and inspection of impact limiter encapsulation with regard to leak-tightness are addressed.

Mass gain measurements served for studying the oxidation behavior of coated metal surfaces if exposed to 800°C and 900°C for up to 4000 h in static air. Itwas found, that alumina coatings significantly reduce the oxidation related mass gain of IN-718 even after heating to 900°C for 4000 h. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) studies revealed diffusion of elements from the metal substrate (IN-718) into the alumina coatings and — to a much lower degree — from the coating into the substrate. These diffusion processes are greatly influenced by the phase composition of the coatings, especially by the presence of alpha-alumina.

Papadrakakis, T1 - Simulation of the Crushing of Wood Filled Impact Limiters for Packages of Radioactive Material N2 - Mechanical and thermal safety assessment of packages for transport of radioactive material in Germany is carried out by the Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing (BAM). Both experimental and computational (analytical, numerical) methods combined with material and/or component tests are the basis for the state of the art safety assessment concept at BAM. The required mechanical tests according to IAEA regulations include, among others, a 9-m-drop-test on an unyielding target. Impact limiting components, which are attached to the cask at both ends, limit forces applied on the cask body and lid system by absorbing a major part of the impact energy. In Germany, impact limiters of packages for transport of radioactive materials are typically of steel-wood-sandwich construction, combining a relatively stiff steel structure bolted to the cask body, outer steel plates and different types of wood. By crushing the wood-steel-sandwich-structure between an unyielding target and the cask, the kinetic energy of a 9-m-free-fall is absorbed. The main energy absorber is wood under a high level of deformation. Wood under large deformations exhibits destruction of the fibre matrix.

Using wood as an energy absorber in impact limiters of packages for the transport of radioactive material, it is of particular importance to ensure the moisture content and thus relevant mechanical properties to be in specified limits. The paper surveys the influence of wood moisture content on the mechanical properties of wood. Different measuring methods are discussed with respect to in situ applicability, accuracy and effort. The results of an experimental analysis of the accuracy of hand held moisture metres using the electrical resistance method are discussed. Conclusions are drawn regarding the measurement of moisture content of wood upon delivery as well as of complete impact limiter assemblies. Requirements for quality surveillance during manufacturing of wood filled impact limiters are derived and it is exemplified how to meet them. Construction, manufacturing and inspection of impact limiter encapsulation with regard to leak tightness are addressed.

By crushing the wood-steel-sandwich-structure between unyielding target and cask, kinetic energy of 9-m-free-fall is absorbed. Main energy absorber is wood under a high level of deformation. Wood under large deformations exhibits destruction of the fibre matrix. By analysing compression of impact limiter wood after drop tests with prototype casks for radioactive material, underlying mechanisms of wood crushing and corresponding energy absorption under large deformations are identified.

Direct dynamic finite element method (FEM) calculations and combined two step analytical quasi-static finite element (FE) calculations are both applied for the simulation of a 9 m drop test. This paper gives a comparative example of both approaches for the 9 m side drop simulation of the spent fuel transport cask with wood filled impact limiter. The model for dynamic FEM consists of cask body and impact limiter. Detailed material properties and geometry descriptions from each component of the impact limiter are required. The results (stress fields in the cask body) are obtained directly from the calculation. The combined method provides as intermediate results the force-deformation characteristic of impact limiter. The maximum impact limiter force determined by the law of energy conservation during the drop is then - in a second step - applied on the cask body in a quasi-static FE model in order to calculate the stresses. In this paper, the rigid body deceleration and the maximum stress in the middle of the cask body are used for the comparison between the dynamic FEM and the combined method. Similar maximum rigid body deceleration-time curves were obtained by both methods for the horizontal 9 m free fall. Concerning the stress in the cask body the dynamic FEM results oscillate about values calculated by the combined quasi-static approach. If the combined quasi-static approach is used in the safety assessment of a cask, a suitable factor has to be applied on its results to take into account the additional dynamic effects.

Das Modell zieht für die Kompression von Holz die seitliche Dehnungsbehinderung – im kontinuumsmechanischen Zusammenhang wäre das die Mehrachsigkeit des Spannungszustandes im Kontinuum – in Betracht. Die Energie, die vom Holz absorbiert werden kann, ist umso größer, je größer die seitliche Dehnungsbehinderung ist. Für die Modellierung mit Finite Elemente Methoden wurden verschiedene Modellierungsstrategien untersucht, keine der vorgeschlagenen Modellierungsstrategien war in der Lage, dass Verhalten von Holz bei Druckbeanspruchung und großen Deformationen inkl. der Entfestigung zu modellieren. Bei Verwendung einer entfestigenden Fließkurve zeigt das Modell ausgeprägte Netzabhängigkeiten und numerischen Instabilitäten. Für die Modellierung der Entfestigung mit Hilfe einer von der Mehrachsigkeit des Spannungszustandes gesteuerten Fließflächenevolution ist kein geeignetes Materialmodell vorhanden. Anhand der Simulation eines Fallversuchs mit einem Behälterkörper und stoßdämpfenden Bauteilen im Maßstab 1:2 wurde gezeigt, dass zwar eine vollständige Modellierung des Stoßdämpferverhaltens inkl. Entfestigung nicht möglich war, aber das Stoßdämpferverhalten mit einer nicht-entfestigenden Fließkurve sinnvoll modelliert werden konnte. Eine Verifikation des Modellierungsansatzes am real zu modellierenden Bauteil ist zwingend erforderlich. Wenn signifikante Änderungen zwischen Verifikations- und Simulationsobjekt auftreten, ist die Zuverlässigkeit der Rechenergebnis als gering zu bewerten. Nur wenn die auftretenden Kompressionsmechanismen durch eine Analyse des Stoßdämpferholzes bestimmt werden können, ist eine zuverlässige Ermittlung von Stoßdämpferkräften- und verformungen möglich.

In this work the diffusion of Cr, Fe and Ti into an alumina coating applied to Inconel-718 is being investigated. Mass gain measurements, UV–vis spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy were applied in order to study the evolution of the diffusion process. It was found that mainly Cr as well as minor amounts of Fe and Ti are being incorporated into the alumina coating upon prolonged heat treatment at 700 °C. It could be shown that alumina coatings being void of Cr have the same oxidation related mass gain as uncoated samples. However, incorporation of Cr into the alumina coating decreased their mass gain below that of uncoated substrates forming a Cr oxide scale only.

The paper also concentrates on the question about how static mechanical approaches can be applied, and what their problems are in relation to dynamic calculation approaches. Under defined impact tests, which represent accident transport conditions, the package has to withstand impact loading, e.g. resulting from a 9 m free drop onto an unyielding target in sequence with a 1 m puncture drop test. Owing to the local character of the interaction between the puncture bar and the cask body, it is possible to develop a dynamic numerical model for the 1 m puncture drop which allows an appropriate simulation of the interaction area. Results from existing experimental drop tests with prototype or small scale cask models can be used for verification and validation of applied analysis codes and models. The link between analysis and experimental drop testing is described exemplarily by considering a regulatory 1 m puncture bar drop test onto the cask body of a recently approved German high level waste transport package. For the 9 m drop test of the package, it is difficult to develop a dynamic numerical model of the package due to the complexity of the interaction between cask body, impact limiters and unyielding target. Dynamic calculations require an extensive verification with experimental results. The simulation of a 9 m drop of a package with impact limiters is thereby often more complex than the simulation of a 1 m puncture drop onto the cask body. A different approximation method can be applied for the consideration of dynamic effects on the impact loading of the package. In a first step, maximum impact force and rigid body deceleration of the cask body during the impact process can be calculated with simplified numerical tools. This rigid body deceleration can subsequently be applied on a verified static numerical model. Dynamic effects, which cannot be covered by the static numerical analysis, have therefore to be considered by using an additional dynamic factor. The paper describes this approach exemplarily for a 9 m horizontal drop of a typical spent fuel cask design.

In addition, para 809(f) of SSR-6 [1] requires consideration of the effects of storage on ageing mechanisms, safety analyses and operation and maintenance instructions. German competent authorities Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und -prüfung (BAM) and Bundesamt für die Sicherheit der nuklearen Entsorgung (BASE) are considering the aspect of ageing in approval procedures. Ageing assessment is mainly focused on dual purpose casks (DPC) package designs which are long-term stored in interim storage facilities. For these package designs, the evaluation of ageing management is now mandatory for the maintenance of the package design approvals with a validity period of 5 years and beyond. The ageing management includes amongst others a gap analysis, the assessment of ageing effects and operational experiences during operation and interim storage. BAM works on the compilation of a guideline for implementation of paras 613A, 809(f) and 809(k) for packages requiring competent authority approval at the application procedure in Germany. The paper describes essential items of ageing mechanisms and will give a foresight to the ageing management evaluation by BAM.

Typical requirements focusing mechanical aspects are usually drop tests in accordance with IAEA regulations. The drop tests are usually carried out experimentally and, as an additional measure, finite element analyses (FEA) are performed. A specific part of the investigations presented is the evaluation of the welding seam connecting cask shell and cask bottom. Experimental results and FEA are presented and compared. The evaluation of the welding seam performed includes a variety of aspects. In addition to the experimental and analytical stresses determined, different standards are used to investigate a possible crack initiation. Several destructive and non-destructive tests are performed for quality assurance in the manufacturing process as well as for different input parameters. The necessary monitoring and non-destructive measurement methods to define the boundary conditions of the standards are introduced. Taking into account all required parameters, the welding seam is examined and evaluated using the failure assessment diagrams (FAD) of the respective standards. It can be shown under the given boundary conditions that considering the experimental data, the welding seam is in the context of crack initiation below the enveloping curve in the acceptable region. More critical drop tests to be conducted are proposed and need to be investigated in future work.

The certificate was issued by BfS, Federal Office for Radiation Protection, on 24th of July 2013. The package is designed as a dual purpose cask for transport and storage of up to 21 PWR spent fuel assemblies from German NPPs. BAM is the German competent authority responsible for the design assessment of RAM packages regarding mechanical and thermal safety cases, activity release analysis and all issues of quality assurance during manufacturing and operation of packages. Certain assessment experiences as well as new developments resulting from the BAM TN®24E approval procedure are presented. The mechanical safety case of the TN®24E is based mainly on finite element calculations, which were verified by the TN®81 1/3 scale drop test program performed at BAM. Thermal analyses rely upon calculations, while the activity release criterion is based upon leakage rate results of TN®81 drop tests. The BAM-GGR 012 guideline for the analysis of bolted lid and trunnion systems has been fully implemented. Due to requirements by BAM, AREVA TN developed a new assessment strategy for fracture mechanical evaluation of welding seams. The material qualification and documentation is also an important aspect of BAM assessment; the qualification of borated aluminum basket material, the determination of strength values for thermal aged hardened aluminum alloys for the basket or consideration of high burn-up fuel assemblies are remarkable issues in this context. In addition, the consideration of the material compatibility, especially taking into account a transport after 40 years of dry interim storage in German facilities, has gained significant importance in the licensing process of the TN®24E. Next to obvious mechanical issues such as the assessment of shell ovalization under 9 m drop test scenario and its impact on basket load, thermo-mechanical interactions had to be addressed in the safety case. Due to BAM requirements, AREVA TN performed a full thermo-mechanical analysis of the cask behavior under fire test conditions.

A common impact limiter design in Germany is a welded steel sheet structure filled with wood. The material wood is the main energy absorber, while the steel sheet provides the integrity of the impact limiter. The IAEA allows mechanical safety cases of transport packages to be carried out computationally, as long as the models used are reliable. In this context, a Finite Element (FE) modeling approach for wood and its application to impact limiters in the calculation of a 9 m drop test is presented. A user material model for wood was developed for the dynamic FE-Code LS-DYNA. Its features are based on a series of crush tests with spruce wood specimens. The model considers wood as a material with transversely isotropic properties, i.e. in the directions parallel and perpendicular to the fiber. The plastic material behavior depends on the state of stress. This has shown to be important to account for the lateral constraint of wood in impact limiters resulting from steel sheet encapsulation. Lateral constraint or respectively, a multiaxial stress state, increases the compression strength level of wood, limits the softening effect and increases the hardening effect. Lateral constraint also increases volumetric and reduces deviatoric deformation. The wood material model considers various hardening and softening characteristics via input flow curves. It considers effects of temperature and strain rate on strength as well. The development of a multi-surface yield criterion and a plastic potential that enables the user input of plastic Poisson's ratios were the challenges during the development of material model. A dynamic FE calculation of a horizontal drop test with an 18,000 kg test package was performed. The wood material model was used to model the wooden impact limiter inlays. The impact limiter deformation and the package deceleration were compared to the experimental drop test results to rate the performance of the wood material model.

T1 - Compressive behaviour of axially loaded spruce wood under large deformations at different strain rates N2 - Impact limiting components of packages for the transport of radioactivematerials are often designed as wood filled steel constructions. Wood absorbs major part of the impact energy in order to minimise the impact load acting upon the containment. Dynamic impact experiments with wood filled impact limiters showed different crushing mechanisms for axially loaded wood depending on their lateral constraint. Tests on spruce wood samples (Picea abies) were performed in order to clarify the influence of strain rate from static to 30 s-1 on a) compression strength, b) stress at a global strain level of 50%, and c) energy absorption capacity at 50% deformation, including statistical evaluation of the results. Results were as follows: strain rate increase led to significantly higher compression strength, stress and strain energy at a strain level of 50%. Lateral strain restriction had no effect on compression strength; it had a significant effect on stress and strain energy at strain level of 50%. Therefore, the definition of a general yield curve for wood under large deformations is not possible, the yield curve has to be chosen taking into account lateral constraints.

N2 - In the course of research project ENREA (development of numerical methods for analyzing impact limiters subjected to impact or drop scenarios), BAM is systematically investigating impact limiting materials, e. g. spruce wood. Goal of these investigations is to establish and parameterize a finite element (FE) material model which enables the modeling of wood filled impact limiting devices of transport casks for radioactive materials. Using results of the first test stage, the effect of loading rate and fiber orientation on the force-deflection characteristics of spruce wood will be presented. Following, computational modeling of spruce wood including requirements for a material model will be discussed. T2 - KONTEC 2011 - 10.

T1 - Safety Evaluation of a Package for Radioactive Waste by Full-Scale Drop Testing N2 - As part of the evaluation of a package for the safe transport of radioactive waste the regulations of the IAEA International Atomic Energy Agency shall be fulfilled. The regulations define requirements for the package and specify mechanical and thermal test conditions. Different methods are allowed for the test performance to demonstrate compliance with the regulations. Next to calculational approaches and the use of models of an appropriate scale, the performance of full-scale testing with prototype packages respectively full-scale models is applied. The use of full-scale models has several advantages within the complete safety assessment procedure for a transport package approval. Scaling and corresponding similarity questions don’t have to be considered, additional material investigations can be limited and analyses to transfer test results to the original package design are reduced in number and complexity. Additionally, experience for future serial design procedures can be built up during manufacturing and assembling of the test model. BAM operates different drop and fire test facilities south of Berlin, Germany. BAM has started to perform a drop test campaign with a full-scale model of 120 metric tons weight for a transport package approval procedure. The paper describes experience with test preparation, drop performance and additional analyses. The measurement concept is explained and test goals regarding the package safety assessment and evaluation of safety margins are introduced.

Our platform, the so-called Unmanned Aerial Vehicle for Remote Gas Sensing (UAV-REGAS), combines a lightweight Tunable Diode Laser Absorption Spectroscopy (TDLAS) gas sensor with a 3-axis aerial stabilization gimbal for aiming at a versatile octocopter. While the TDLAS sensor provides integral gas concentration measurements, it does not measure the distance traveled by the laser diode’s beam nor the distribution of gas along the optical path. Thus, we complement the set-up with a laser rangefinder and apply principles of Computed Tomography (CT) to create a model of the spatial gas distribution from a set of integral concentration measurements. To allow for a fundamental ground truth evaluation of the applied gas tomography algorithm, we set up a unique outdoor test environment based on two 3D ultrasonic anemometers and a distributed array of 10 infrared gas transmitters. We present results showing its performance characteristics and 2D plume reconstruction capabilities under realistic conditions. The proposed system can be deployed in scenarios that cannot be addressed by currently available robots and thus constitutes a significant step forward for the field of Mobile Robot Olfaction (MRO).

Furthermore, those cylinders are equipped with safety devices like pressure relief valves (PRV). Despite these regulations and safety measures, a failure of the Container is possible if exposed to an intense fire. The result of this is severe hazard for users, rescue forces and infrastructure. Within the framework of a destructive test series, 15 identical propane cylinders, without pressure relief devices, were exposed to an intensive fire in horizontal Position until failure. Each cylinder was filled with a mass of m =11 kg of liquid propane. Three different fire sources were used (wood, petrol, propane). The experiments revealed the failure of all cylinders in a time period t < 155 s. The failure lead to a fragmentation into several major parts with throwing distances of up to l =262 m. In all trials, the temperature of the cylinder wall (top, side, bottom), of the liquid phase inside and of the surrounding fire (top, side, bottom) was recorded. In addition, the inner cylinder pressure and the induced overpressure of the blast wave after the failure were recorded. Overpressures of up to p=0.27 bar were recorded close to the cylinder (l =5 m). AM tests were documented hy video from several positions (general view, close-up, high-speed 5000 fps). This test series creates the basis for further experimental studies in the field of alternative fuels for vehicles. The aim of this test series is to assess and analyse the consequences of the failure of gas vessels (for LPG, CNG, CGH2) in the aftermath of severe incidents.

B. LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas), CNG (Compressed Natural Gas)) ausgerüstet sind. In zahlreichen Großversuchsserien untersucht die Bundesanstalt für Materialforschung und -prüfung (BAM) im Rahmen des internen Forschungsprojekts CoFi-ABV (Complex Fires – Auswirkungen von Behälterversagen) die Auswirkungen beim Versagen der Treibstoffbehälter dieser alternativen Antriebe. Ziel dieser Untersuchungen ist eine ganzheitliche Auswirkungsbetrachtung, um die Risiken für Feuerwehren und Rettungskräfte besser abschätzen zu können. Im Vorfeld zu den Versuchen für LPG- und CNG-Tanks wurden in einer weiteren Versuchsserie 15handelsübliche 11-kg-Propangasflaschen ohne Sicherheitseinrichtung unterfeuert. Alle 15 Behälter haben – wie zu erwarten war – versagt. Neben den Zustandsdaten des Behälters zum Versagenszeitpunkt (Temperatur des Behältermantels, Innendruck und -temperatur) wurden die Auswirkungen auf die Umgebung hinsichtlich Druckwirkung und Fragmentierung (Anzahl, Masse, Distanz, Richtung) dokumentiert.

Furthermore, those cylinders are equipped with safety devices like pressure relief valves (PRV). Despite these regulations and safety measures, a failure of the container is possible if exposed to an intense fire. The result of this is severe hazard for users, rescue forces and infrastructure. Within the framework of a destructive test series, 15 identical propane cylinders, without pressure relief devices, were exposed to an intensive fire in horizontal position until failure. Each cylinder was filled with a mass of m =11 kg of liquid propane. Three different fire sources were used (wood, petrol, propane). The experiments revealed the failure of all cylinders in a time period t < 155 s. The failure lead to a fragmentation into several major parts with throwing distances of up to l =262 m. In all trials, the temperature of the cylinder wall (top, side, bottom), of the liquid phase inside and of the surrounding fire (top, side, bottom) was recorded. In addition, the inner cylinder pressure and the induced overpressure of the blast wave after the failure were recorded. Overpressures of up to p=0.27 bar were recorded close to the cylinder (l =5 m). All tests were documented by video from several positions (general view, close-up, high-speed 5000 fps). This test series creates the basis for further experimental studies in the field of alternative fuels for vehicles. The aim of this test series is to assess and analyse the consequences of the failure of gas vessels (for LPG, CNG, CGH2) in the aftermath of severe incidents.

Spectroscopic measurement methods for remote sensing of selected gases lend themselves for use on mini-copters, which offer a number of advantages for inspection and surveillance. No direct contact with the target gas is needed and thus the influence of the aerial platform on the measured gas plume can be kept to a minimum. This allows to overcome one of the major issues with gas-sensitive mini-copters. On the other hand, remote gas sensors, most prominently Tunable Diode Laser Absorption Spectroscopy (TDLAS) sensors have been too bulky given the payload and energy restrictions of mini-copters. Here, we introduce and present the Unmanned Aerial Vehicle for Remote Gas Sensing (UAV-REGAS), which combines a novel lightweight TDLAS sensor with a 3-axis aerial stabilization gimbal for aiming on a versatile hexacopter. The proposed system can be deployed in scenarios that cannot be addressed by currently available robots and thus constitutes a significant step forward for the field of Mobile Robot Olfaction (MRO). It enables tomographic reconstruction of gas plumes and a localization of gas sources. We also present first results showing the gas sensing and aiming capabilities under realistic conditions.

In case of a vehicle fire where the safety device also malfunctions, a failure of the CNG automotive cylinder could occur. Such a cylinder failure is associated with severe hazards for the surrounding environment. Firstly, a comprehensive analysis is given below, summarizing various accidents involving CNG automotive cylinders and their consequences. In an extensive experimental program, 21 CNG automotive cylinders with no safety device were tested. Of the 21, burst tests were carried out on 5 Type III and 5 Type IV cylinders. Furthermore, fire tests with 8 Type III and 3 Type IV cylinders were conducted. Apart from cylinder pressure, inner temperature and cylinder mantle temperature, the periphery consequences, such as nearfield blast pressure and fragmentation are documented. The maximum measured overpressure due to a Type III cylinder failure was p = 0.41 bar. Each traceable fragment was georeferenced. All-in-all, fragment throw distances of d > 300 m could be observed. As one key result, it can be stated that the tested Type IV CNG cylinders showed less critical failure behavior then the Type III cylinders under fire impingement.

N2 - In this paper, we present an autonomous aerial robot to reconstruct tomographic 2D slices of gas plumes in outdoor environments. Our platform, the so-called Unmanned Aerial Vehicle for Remote Gas Sensing (UAV-REGAS) combines a lightweight Tunable Diode Laser Absorption Spectroscopy (TDLAS) sensor with a 3-axis aerial stabilization gimbal for aiming on a versatile octocopter. The TDLAS sensor provides integral gas concentration measurements but no information regarding the distance traveled by the laser diode's beam or the distribution of the gas along the optical path. We complemented the set-up with a laser rangefinder and apply principles of Computed Tomography (CT) to create a model of the spatial gas distribution from these integral concentration measurements. To allow for a rudimentary ground truth evaluation of the applied gas tomography algorithm, we set up a unique outdoor test environment based on two 3D ultrasonic anemometers and a distributed array of 10 infrared gas transmitters. We present first results showing the 2D plume reconstruction capabilities of the system under realistic conditions.

In this paper we give an overview of the latest status regarding the development of a finite element material model for the crush of spruce wood. Although the crush of wood – mainly in longitudinal direction – is a phenomenon governed by macroscopic fracture and failure of wood fibres we smear fracture and failure mechanisms over the continuous voume. In first step we altered an existing LS-DYNA material model for foams, which considers an ellipse shaped yield surface written in terms of the first two stress invariants. The evolution of the yield surface in the existing model depends on the volumetric strain only. For the use with spruce wood, we modified the existing material model to consider the deviatoric strain for the evolution of the yield surface as well. This is in accordance with the results of crush tests with spruce wood specimens, where the crushing deformation was rather deviatoric for uniaxial stress states and rather volumetric for multiaxial stress states We rate the basic idea of this approach to be reasonable, though other problems exist regarding the shape of the yield surface and the assumption of isotropic material properties. Therefore we developed a new transversal isotropic material model with two main directions, which considers different yield curves according to the multiaxiality of the stress state via a multi-surface yield criterion and a non-associated flow rule. The results show the ability to reproduce the basic strength characteristics of spruce wood. Nevertheless, problems with regularization etc. show that additional investigations are necessary.

To investigate the consequences in case of tank failure, we conducted 16 tests with toroidal shaped LPG vehicle tanks. Three tanks were used for a Hydraulic Burst Test under standard conditions. Another three tanks were equipped with a statutory safety device and were subjected to a gasoline pool fire. The safety device prevented tank failure, as intended. To generate a statistically valid dataset on tank failure, ten tanks without safety devices were exposed to a gasoline pool fire. Five tanks were filled to a level of 20 %; the re-maining five were filled to a level of 100 %. In order to gain information on the heating process, three tem-perature readings at the tank surface, and three nearby flame temperatures were recorded. At distances of l = (7; 9; 11) m to the tank, the overpressure of the shock wave induced by the tank failure and the unsteady tem-peratures were measured. All ten tanks failed within a time of t < 5 min in a BLEVE (boiling liquid expanding vapor explosion). Seven of these resulted directly in a catastrophic failure. The other three resulted in partial failure followed by catastrophic failure. A near field overpressure at a distance of l = 7 m of up to p = 0.27 bar was measured. All ten tests showed massive fragmentation of the tank mantle. In total, 50 fragments were found. These 50 fragments make-up 88.6 % of the original tank mass. Each fragment was georeferenced and weighed. Fragment throwing distances of l > 250 m occurred. For the tanks with a fill level of 20 %, the average number of fragments was twice as high as it was for the tanks that were filled completely.

The tanks were installed in the space normally reserved for the spare tyre, in the car boot. No safety device was installed on the tank, in order to force critical failure of the cylinder. Two of the cars were equipped with a tank filled with liquefied propane to a level of 20 % (5.3 kg), the third one was filled completely (25.5 kg). The partially filled tanks failed critically within a time period of more than 20 min after the initiation of the fire. The fully-filled tank did not rupture; the propane was released continuously through a small leak that appeared during the fire. Comprehensive equipment was used to procure measurement data, enabling an analysis of potential consequences and hazards to humans and infrastructure within the vehicle surroundings. The inner status of the tank (pressure, temperature of the liquid phase and the steel casing), the development of the fire (temperature inside and around the vehicle) and the pressure induced in the near-field in case of tank rupture were recorded. The results were analysed in detail and compared against the data gained in tests involving sole, but identical LPG tanks.

The requirements define mechanical and thermal test conditions including criteria ensuring the package design’s ability to withstand severe accidents and provide a high level of technical safety. Different methods can be used for safety demonstration showing compliance with the regulations. The central part of a safety demonstration which is presented in this paper was a comprehensive drop test program with a full-scale model of a transport package accompanied by pre- and post-test FE analyses. Using full-scale drop test models allow the benefit that similarity and scaling issues become a significant smaller issue, additional material investigations can be limited and analyses for transferring test results to the original package design are reduced. Additionally, experience for the future serial packaging manufacturing and handling procedures can be collected in a very early state of the design approval process. The pre-test finite element analyses derived and justified the drop test program consisting of several drop sequences with different drop orientations of the specimen. The performance and the results of the drop test sequences shows the manageability and the advantage e.g., in view of the direct availability of test results for the package licensing. On the other hand, the drop test performance shows the difficulties during handling and the need for additional equipment during preparation of the specimen. The package presented was intended for the transport and storage of compacted radioactive waste from reprocessing of spent nuclear fuel assemblies - designed and applied for approval by the AGC consortium. The project ended in 2021. The package design was characterized by a cask body made of a forged thick stainless-steel shell, a bolted double lid system with metallic gaskets and wood filled shock absorbers at both ends. The total mass of the entire transport package including content was 120,000 kg, the total length was about 7000 mm and the diameter approximately 3000 mm, both measures include the shock absorbers. The paper provides an insight into the performance of a full-scale drop testing campaign within the package safety evaluation and shows some selected test results.

In addition, para 809(f) requires for packages intended to be used for shipment after storage the consideration of the effects of ageing mechanisms during storage in safety analyses and the implementation of corresponding instructions for operation and maintenance. Para 503(e) requires that all packaging components and radioactive contents have been maintained during storage in a manner that all requirements specified in IAEA SSR-6 (Rev.1) and in the applicable certificates of approval have been fulfilled. The evaluation of ageing mechanisms and their effects including monitoring are part of BAM’s authority assessment tasks related to the mechanical and thermal package design and quality assurance aspects. BAM has compiled a guideline for the implementation of ageing assessment and of the measures for ageing management of the approval procedure based on requirements of IAEA SSR-6 (Rev.1). The guideline is applicable only for packages requiring a competent authority approval. The paper aims to describe the structure of the guideline and the general approach for ageing management requirements. The type and amount of measures for ageing management depend mainly on the use of the package and on the ageing effects for the component, which result from relevant ageing mechanisms during package operation time. The implementation of measures for ageing management is divided into three levels – systemic measures, package design related measures and documentation. The systemic measures are attributed to the general management system and define the whole activities for organization of ageing management like structure, responsibilities, documentation, reports and evaluation. The package design related measures are defined in an ageing management plan (AMP). These measures shall ensure that the anticipated changes of the package design under consideration of ageing effects still complies with the design approval specification. Therefore, an ageing surveillance program (ASP) and, if necessary, a gap analysis program shall be developed. The ageing management documentation (AMD) ensures the continuous documentation of the compliance of a specific package to the approved package design, comprising mainly records resulting from operation and surveillance.

While experiments are performed in accordance with the IAEA regulations for selected drop scenarios, Finite-Element-Method (FEM) simulations are used to predict the most damaging case and to investigate additional drop positions. BAM as competent authority in Germany has performed different investigations of a welding seam for a typical large transport package made of A508 forged steel, where the bottom plate is welded to the cylindrical shell. The package has a mass of approx. 120 t. Results of physical drop tests with a full-scale model and accompanying preliminary FEM simulations are presented to determine the decisive stresses in the welding seam. A drop test only represents one set of a package and test parameters. A further parameter analysis is considered to account for allowable variations of packaging properties (e.g. resulting from the manufacturing process) and, based on IAEA requirements, the temperature dependence of the material behaviour. The results of the stress analyses from the drop test and the simulation form the basis and provide the input parameters for a fracture mechanics analysis. In addition to the IAEA specifications, further standards are taken into account for an in-depth investigation, see R6, BS 7910 and API 579-1/ASME FFS1. All the above-mentioned standards require a manufacturer-specific defect analysis with respect to size and position. Both result from the welding process and the following heat treatment regime. The maximum defect sizes are ensured with non-destructive test methods (such as ultrasonic or particle methods) as integral part of the manufacturing process of the welding seam. Another important parameter in the welding process is the residual stress (secondary stress). The combination of the primary and secondary stress determines the total stress in the welding seam. The most damaging case of the welding seam is determined and evaluated with help of the above-mentioned standards and taking into account the IAEA requirements with respect to defect sizes, material properties, primary and residual stress, yield strength etc. T2 - PATRAM 22 - The International Symposium on the Packaging and Transportation of Radioactive Materials CY - Juan-Les-Pins, Antibes, France DA - 11.06.2023 KW - Transport Package KW - Welding KW - Fracture Mechanics PY - 2023 SP - 1 EP - 10 AN - OPUS4-57696 LA - eng AD - Bundesanstalt fuer Materialforschung und -pruefung (BAM), Berlin, Germany ER - TY - CONF A1 - Neumann, Martin A1 - Gleim, Tobias A1 - Gradt, Thomas A1 - Wille, Frank T1 - Friction coefficients for wood-wood and wood-steel interfaces in impact limiters for transport casks N2 - Wood is widely used in impact limiters of transport casks for radioactive material. Encapsulated by an outer and inner steel structure, spruce wood is often applied in layers of alternating direction. The friction at the interfaces between these layers is of crucial importance for the impact and energy absorption e.g., at an accidental impact of a cask against a hard target. In order to get detailed information for corresponding numerical calculations, in this study the friction coefficient for the combinations wood-wood and wood-steel was measured in the temperature range between -40°C and 90°C according to the relevant stress conditions for such casks. Results show decreasing friction with increasing temperature, ranging from 0.43 at -40°C to 0.22 for 90°C for wood-steel combinations and from 0.3 at -40°C to 0.24 at 90°C to for a wood-wood combination.

These encompass – in accordance with the IAEA SSR-6 regulations – packages of the classification excepted, Industrial packages Type 1, 2 and 3 and Type A packages. Currently an upsurge in number and variation of these package designs can be seen in Germany, resulting from the phase out of nuclear energy in Germany as well as e. g. increased use of radioactive material for medical purposes. A design assessment regarding the package safety is required in the international IAEA SSR-6 regulations. BAM operates facilities for the performance of all regulatory tests required such as drop towers for a wide range of package masses and dimensions, fire test, leak tightness measurements and pressure test facilities. Experiences with several package types are shown. Additionally, IAEA SSR-6 requires the establishment of a management system for design, manufacture, maintenance, and repair of the packaging as well as for the preparation, consigning, loading, carriage, unloading and receipt of the package. Relevant for Germany, BAM has published guidance material on the process of management system acceptance in the technical guide BAM-GGR 016. The requirements encompass quality management plans for the manufacturing of packages including independent manufacturing surveillance and specific instructions for operation, maintenance, and repair of packagings. Examples for management system specifics and requirements are given. Since the latest edition of the IAEA SSR-6 regulations an ageing evaluation including systematic ageing management measures are required for all kind of package types. BAM is going to update the guidance material BAM-GGR 016 to support the stakeholders with relevant information to fulfil the ageing aspect for packages not requiring competent authority approval. The paper explains how the ageing aspect may be included in the safety evaluation process and the management system measures and will give an outlook for the future guidance material.

A design assessment regarding the package safety is required in the international IAEA SSR-6 [1] regulations. BAM operates facilities for the performance of all regulatory tests required such as drop towers for a wide range of package masses and dimensions, fire test, leak tightness measurements and pressure test facilities. Experiences with several package types are shown. Additionally, IAEA SSR-6 [1] requires the establishment of a management system for design, manufacture, maintenance, and repair of the packaging as well as for the preparation, consigning, loading, carriage, unloading and receipt of the package. Relevant for Germany, BAM has published guidance material on the process of management system acceptance in the technical guide BAM-GGR 016 [2]. The requirements encompass quality management plans for the manufacturing of packages including independent manufacturing surveillance and specific instructions for operation, maintenance, and repair of packagings. Examples for management system specifics and requirements are given. Since the latest edition of the IAEA SSR-6 [1] regulations an ageing evaluation including systematic ageing management measures are required for all kind of package types. BAM is going to update the guidance material BAM-GGR 016 [2] to support the stakeholders with relevant information to fulfil the ageing aspect for packages not requiring competent authority approval. The paper explains how the ageing aspect may be included in the safety evaluation process and the management system measures and will give an outlook for the future guidance material.

T1 - System of Quality Assurance Measures in Manufacturing and Operation of Dual Purpose Casks for Spent Nuclear Fuel and High Level Waste in Germany N2 - German spent nuclear fuel and high level waste is stored in dry conditions in interim storage facilities until a final repository will be ready for operation in the future. Dual purpose casks are used for the packaging of the materials to ensure transportability at any time during long-term interim storage and fulfilling both requirements from interim storage as well as transport. Germany’s 2011 decision to phase out utilization of nuclear energy has led to a high demand for casks for decommissioning power plants as quickly as possible. Cask serial production will continue at a high level for the next few years. In the process, a system of quality assurance measures ensures that every cask reliably complies with design specification according the transport approval certificate and storage license. When the first casks were manufactured in Germany about 40 years ago, quality assurance was oriented towards pressure vessel and general nuclear manufacturing. The system was continuously adapted to the state of the art. In particular serial production, globalization of manufacturing and deep supplier chains had to be taken into account. The system of quality assurance measures applied today for cask manufacturing shall be presented here. The quality assurance measures can be categorized as system-related and design-related. With respect to transport regulations for example, they are independently approved and monitored by the competent authority BAM and its authorized inspection experts. The qualification of the applicant is reviewed first in the context of the design approval procedure and then periodically. The qualification of component and cask manufacturers is also checked at the start of manufacturing and then periodically. Before the start of manufacturing documents such as quality plans are pre-assessed. Manufacturing and inspection are then performed according to the pre-assessed documents. Cask manufacturing is completed by a final inspection before commissioning. Periodic inspections during operation ensure preservation of the properties specified in the approval certificate over package life time. The type and the time interval of periodic inspections depend on the use of the package. For transport after interim storage a system of specific tests and inspections is prescribed.

The friction at the interfaces between these layers is of crucial importance for the impact and energy absorption e.g., at an accidental impact of a cask against a hard target.

Results show decreasing friction with increasing temperature, ranging from 0.43 at -40°C to 0.22 for 90°C for wood-steel combinations and from 0.3 at -40°C to 0.24 at 90°C to for a wood-wood combination.

While experiments are performed in accordance with the IAEA regulations for selected drop scenarios, Finite-Element-Method (FEM) simulations are used to predict the most damaging case and to investigate additional drop positions. BAM as competent authority in Germany has performed different investigations of a welding seam for a typical large transport package made of A508 forged steel, where the bottom plate is welded to the cylindrical shell. The package has a mass of approx. 120 t. Results of physical drop tests with a full-scale model and accompanying preliminary FEM simulations are presented to determine the decisive stresses in the welding seam. A drop test only represents one set of a package and test parameters. A further parameter analysis is considered to account for allowable variations of packaging properties (e.g. resulting from the manufacturing process) and, based on IAEA requirements, the temperature dependence of the material behaviour. The results of the stress analyses from the drop test and the simulation form the basis and provide the input parameters for a fracture mechanics analysis. In addition to the IAEA specifications, further standards are taken into account for an in-depth investigation, see R6 [1], BS 7910 [2] and API 579-1/ASME FFS1 [3]. All the above-mentioned standards require a manufacturer-specific defect analysis with respect to size and position. Both result from the welding process and the following heat treatment regime. The maximum defect sizes are ensured with non-destructive test methods (such as ultrasonic or particle methods) as integral part of the manufacturing process of the welding seam. Another important parameter in the welding process is the residual stress (secondary stress). The combination of the primary and secondary stress determines the total stress in the welding seam. The most damaging case of the welding seam is determined and evaluated with help of the abovementioned standards and taking into account the IAEA requirements with respect to defect sizes, material properties, primary and residual stress, yield strength etc. T2 - PATRAM 22 - The International Symposium on the Packaging and Transportation of Radioactive Materials CY - Juan-Les-Pins, Antibes DA - 11.06.2023 KW - Welding KW - Transport Package KW - Fracture Mechanics PY - 2023 SP - 1 EP - 11 AN - OPUS4-59421 LA - eng AD - Bundesanstalt fuer Materialforschung und -pruefung (BAM), Berlin, Germany ER - TY - GEN A1 - Neumann, Martin T1 - Maßnahmen zum Qualitäts- und Alterungsmanagement nicht zulassungspflichtiger Bauarten von Versandstücken zur Beförderung radioaktiver Stoffe N2 - Die BAM-GGR 016 erläutert die Anforderungen des ADR, RID, ADN und IMDG hinsichtlich notwendiger Maßnahmen zum Qualitäts- und Alterungsmanagement bei der Auslegung, Herstellung, Prüfung, Dokumentation, Gebrauch, Wartung und Inspektion von nicht-zulassungspflichtigen Versandstücken für radioaktive Stoffe für alle Bauarten von freigestellten Versandstücken, Industrieversandstücken des Typs IP-1, IP-2 und IP-3 und Versandstücken des Typs A.
