Polyurethane foam used as impact limiter material undergoes high plastic deformations, whereat the resulting stress-strain relations strongly depend on loading speed and temperature. This paper discusses the efforts necessary to develop a reliable numerical foam simulation model focussing on generation and implementation of temperature- dependent yield curves
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.
The shock absorbing material damping concrete is for the foundation in dry interim storage facilities for radioactive waste in Germany. In case of a potential cask drop damping concrete minimizes the mechanical loads to the cask. In course of safety analyzes this accident scenario is considered by numerical simulations using the finite element method. To get reliable results of numerical simulations a suitable material model is needed to take the characteristics of damping concrete into account. Due to the lack of sufficient material knowledge a research project was started to characterize the material’s behavior under different load conditions. This paper presents the test program to analyze the material behavior of damping concrete which is characterized by large volume change and
strain rate hardening dependence. The determined Parameters were used to adapt an existing material model of the FE-code ABAQUS®. This model has to handle the mechanical damage behavior of damping concrete which occurs under compression and shear loads during a potential cask drop. To verify the material model numerical simulations are compared with dynamic penetration tests, which were conducted with specimens assembled similar to the real application of the damping concrete footings. The transferability of the material
model to a real accident scenario was verified by a drop test with a full-scale cask on a damping concrete footing.
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.
Mechanical loading conditions of transport and storage casks for radioactive materials in accidental scenarios are highly affected by the behavior of both: the impact limiters and the footing materials. To minimize potential damages during the handling of casks, a so called damping concrete is frequently used for the footings in interim nuclear facilities. It obtains its shock absorbing properties through admixing of polymer cells. For a comprehensive mechanical evaluation of casks, advanced material models are also needed for damping concrete. In order to characterize the mechanical properties and to develop numerical material models, penetration tests were carried out at different test facilities of BAM. The tests contain static and dynamic penetration tests on cubic specimen with an edge length of 100 mm as well as mortared specimen with a size of 240 x 240 x 50 cm³. Indenters with different geometries and diameters were used for these model-sized penetration tests. Subsequently a full-scale cylindrical cast-iron indenter with a diameter of 110 cm was dropped of 5 m height on a realistic damping concrete footing.
The paper focuses on the preliminary determination of the bar length and the experimental performance of the 1m-puncture test in compliance with the guidelines of the IAEA under the given boundary conditions. Following aspects have to be considered concerning the determination of an appropriate length of the bar to obtain maximum damage to the specimen: the design of the package, its drop orientation and the impact point as well as a pre-damage of the package resulting from a previous 9m drop test. According to the Regulations the minimum length of the bar is defined as 20 cm, which has to be adapted to the outer surface of the package, especially to packages with large impact limiters.
In this context, two main aspects are important: First, the realisation of a maximum puncture load applied to the package while no other component of the package has contact with the impact target. Second, the reduction of the risk of buckling and maximising the stiffness of the bar by a length which is as short as possible. In order to optimize the bar length, finite element calculations are often done by simulating the global behaviour of the package during the puncture test. The evaluation of the conducted puncture test regarding IAEA compliance is done by analysing deceleration measurements. The paper presents a possible approach to determine the length of the bar and the construction of a form-fitted connection to the target showing various examples of puncture tests.
