Project CARDS Technical Information Record: Parametric and Sensitivity Analysis and Determination of Response Spectra for Horizontal, Vertical and Rotational Motion of a Radioactive Material Shipping Package Relative to the Motion

摘要

The generation of the response spectra was coupled to a parametric and sensitivity analysis. Support accelerations and tiedown forces are presented as functions of time. The parametric analysis found that the horizontal acceleration of the support and the MAR (max absolute relative) horizontal acceleration are relatively insensitive, while the corresponding vertical accelerations are highly sensitive to changes in 4 of the 13 parameters, and the corresponding rotational accelerations are highly sensitive to changes in 8 of the 13 parameters. The tiedown forces are moderately sensitive to changes in 3 of the parameters. (ERA citation 06:011382)
