Typical transport packages used in Germany are equipped with wooden impact limiting devices. 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.

Commercial, off-the shelf propane cylinders are subjected to high safety regulations. 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.

15 identical off-the-shelf propane cylinders (m = 11 kg liquid propane) were underfired. The infrared Radiation of the Explosion, that occurred in the aftermath of the vessel failure, was recorded using four bolometers. These measurements are compared with an estimation of the Maximum intensity gained by an Analysis of the Video data, an Extended Version of the Stefan-Boltzmann law and a BLEVE model.
BAM as competent authority regarding assessment of mechanical and thermal design, activity release and quality assurance aspects of SNF and HLW transport packages developed a thesaurus of experience feedback topics from recent approval procedures. The list is structured according to the European PDSR guide. It involves issues, which from BAM point of view, needed clarification during last package design assessment procedures. The list contains issues from operation (e.g. deactivation of handling lugs not intended for package handling), maintenance (e.g. leak tightness of impact limiting devices) to technical assessment (e.g. formation of hydrogen by radiolysis and its impact on pressure and ignitability, consideration of ageing mechanisms, thermo-mechanical assessment, impact of gaps between content and flask, spent fuel behaviour) as well as to general and specific safety analysis report requirements (e.g. report structure and required data).

Packages for the transport of SNF and HLW are usually equipped with impact limiters to reduce the loads that result from the regulatory 9 m drop test. 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.
