Multi-Body Dynamic Analysis Computer Program For the Prismatic Core of a HTGR

摘要

A computer program has been developed for the prismatic core of a HTGR (High Temperature Gas-Cooled Reactor). The program was not completed yet; however, the modulized feature of the program makes it possible to test the completed modules for the lateral and vertical forces. Example problems were defined to verify the developed computer program by comparing with theoretical and a commercial code results. The developed computer program showed very good agreements in the comparison. In the near future, the program will be completed and the seismic response of the HTGR core will be simulated.
