Research Program for Seismic Qualification of Nuclear Plant Electrical and Mechanical Equipment. Task 2. Correlation of Methodologies for Seismic Qualification Tests of Nuclear Plant Equipment.

摘要

The Research Program for Seismic Qualification of Nuclear Plant Electrical and Mechanical Equipment has spanned a period of three years and resulted in seven technical summary reports, each of which covered in detail the findings of different tasks and subtasks, and have been combined into five NUREG/CR volumes. Volume 2 presents a general method for correlating the severity of one seismic qualification motion of given dynamic characteristics to another motion, possibly of different dynamic characteristics. The method provides a method of measuring relative damage severity of two different motions in terms of a relative damage severity ratio.
