Ermittlung dynamischer Kennwerte von Dämpferbeton für die Simulation des Beanspruchungsverhaltens
(2016)
Die Sicherheit und Integrität von Verpackungen radioaktiver Stoffe wird anhand von numerischen Berechnungen bewertet. Bei einem Anprall oder Absturz sind die mechanischen Beanspruchungen auf die Behälter auch von den Eigenschaften des Untergrunds abhängig. Um potentielle Gefahren während der Verladung zu minimieren, wird energieabsorbierender Dämpferbeton in den Handhabungsbereichen nuklearer Lager eingesetzt.
Zu einer umfassenden sicherheitstechnischen Analyse und Bewertung gehört die Berücksichtigung des Beanspruchungsverhaltens von Dämpferbeton. Hierfür ist ein numerisches Materialmodell notwendig, das in der Literatur bisher nicht vorlag. Die dafür notwendigen dynamischen Kennwerte sind in verschiedenen Druck- und Eindringversuchen ermittelt worden. Dazu wurden dynamische Druckversuche an würfelförmigen Prüfkörpern durchgeführt, sowie Eindringversuche mit unterschiedlichen Eindringkörpern und Dämpferbetonproben. Die experimentell ermittelten Kennwerte wurden verwendet, um ein Materialmodell für Dämpferbeton zu entwickeln und kritische Beanspruchungsszenarien numerisch zu berechnen. Um die Qualität des Materialmodells zu überprüfen, wurde ein realitätsnaher Fallversuch eines Behälters in Originalgröße auf ein lagertypisches Dämpferbetonfundament durchgeführt.
In dem Beitrag sollen die unterschiedlichen Untersuchungen zur Ermittlung dynamischer Kennwerte sowie deren Ergebnisse dargestellt werden. Gezeigt werden ebenso numerische Nachberechnungen einzelner Versuche sowie die ausführliche Berechnung des Fallversuchs im Originalmaßstab. Experimentelle und numerische Ergebnisse aus der Simulation werden hier gegenübergestellt.
The safety and integrity of casks for radioactive waste in accidental scenarios is analysed by BAM Federal institute tor Materials Research and Testing. An accidental scenario in German interim storage facilities is the drop from a crane during the handling operation. To reduce the mechanical loads to the cask a shock absorbing footing with high energy absorption capability is used in these areas. In order to analyse and evaluate such impact scenarios of casks, numerical simulations are performed. For a comprehensive simulation of an accidental scenario the behaviour of the damping concrete footing has to be taken into account as well and therefor a material model is needed. Material parameters under different loading conditions are the basis for a numerical model. For that reason a government funded research project (Kasparek, 2012) was conducted to characterise damping concrete under quasi-static as well as highly dynamic impact loading conditions. The performed tests include compression tests with and without lateral constraint small-scale and midscale penetration tests with different indenters, and finally a full-scale drop test onto a damping concrete footing.
Damping concrete with high energy absorption capability consists of a cement matrix with embedded small polystyrene balls and is investigated experimentally and numerically under high static compression with and without clamping. A material model is derived which describes the fundamental effects of damping concrete like non-linear elastic-plastic behaviour, volume change, volume strain dependent hardening as well as shear failure with an adequate description of damage initiation and evolution. The suggested material model is validated by simulation of penetration tests.
The safety assessment of casks for radioactive material at interim storage facilities or in final repositories includes the investigation of possible handling accidents if clearly defined test conditions are not available from the regulations. Specific handling accidents usually are the drop of a cask onto the transport vehicle or the floor as well as the collision with the wall of the storage building or another cask. For such load cases an experimental demonstration of cask safety would be difficult. Therefore, numerical analyses of the entire load scenario are preferred. The lessons learnt from dynamic finite element analyses of accident scenarios with thick-walled cubical containers or cylindrical casks are presented. The dependency of calculation results on initial and boundary conditions, material models, and contact conditions is discussed. Parameter sets used should be verified by numerical simulation of experimentally investigated similar test scenarios. On the other hand, decisions have to be made whether a parameter or property is modeled in a realistic or conservative manner. For example, a very small variation of the initial impact angle of a container can cause significantly different stresses and strains. In sophisticated cases an investigation of simpler limit load scenarios could be advantageous instead of analyzing a very complicated load scenario.
Metal gaskets in the lid system of transport and storage casks for radioactive material have to guarantee leak-tightness and safe enclosure of the radioactive inventory under normal and accident conditions during transport, in case of accidents and for the longterm interim storage. For safety assessments by nurnerical simulation of the thermomechanical behaviour of a lid system with metal gaskets, the finite element method offers three options to use: i) special gasket elements, ii) complex three-dimensional modeHing with solid elements, and iii) a simplified axisymmetric approach. Gasket elements can be adjusted by many parameters, but they give only a global representation of the experimentally observed gasket behaviour. For calculations of the entire cask including the lid system with gaskets, nonetheless this approach is recommended. To investigate the hardly measurable impact behaviour in detail or to extrapolate the long-term behaviour, a local modeHing of all parts of a gasket and their interactions with effects like elastic-plastic deformation, creep, relaxation, and friction is necessary. The three-dimensional model can describe the change of contact area between outer jacket of the gasket and flange dependent on the load conditions, what overcomes an essential limitation of special gasket elements. To simplify the problern of investigating the underlying physical effects, an axisymmetric lid system can be modelled with axisymmetric finite elements. Usually an approximation is only necessary for the helical spring of a metal gasket. This paper explains basic ideas for an adequate finite element simulation of cask lid systems with metal gaskets and their thermo-mechanical behaviour under specific load scenarios.
The deformation and damage behaviour of damping concrete under impact loading conditions is investigated experimentally and numerically. The material model is based on the assumption of crushable foam with volumetric or isotropic hardening combined with ductile and shear damage criteria. Model parameters are determined in static and dynamic compression tests of confined cubic specimens. The derived material model is validated by numerical simulation of penetration tests. The static and dynamic penetration of indenters into uniform as well as assembled bricks made of damping concrete is discussed. Finally, the successful calculation of a large-scale drop test with a heavy cask-like test object onto a realistic damping concrete foundation is demonstrated.
