Abstract

The invention discloses a nonlinear characteristic three-dimensional simulation calculation method of a fuel assembly compression system. The problem that an irradiation effect which critically influences a fuel assembly and a compression system of the fuel assembly is not considered in the prior art, and accordingly load calculation of the compression system is not accurate is solved. The method comprises the steps that according to the four nonlinear phenomenon including geometric nonlinearity, material nonlinearity, state nonlinearity and the irradiation effect in the compression system, three-dimensional simulation is conducted, and the compression load of a corresponding moment in the life period of the compression system is obtained through three-dimensional coupling numerical analysis. The method has the advantages that the compression load at any moment in the full-life period of the compression system can be calculated, and the safety, reliability, economical efficiency and the like of the fuel assembly are improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of simulation calculation of a reactor fuel assembly compression system, in particular to a three-dimensional simulation calculation method for nonlinear characteristics of the fuel assembly compression system. Background technique [0002] Existing reactor fuel assemblies usually consist of a number of fuel rods, guide tubes, spacer grids, lower nozzle parts, and upper nozzle parts containing a compression system, such as figure 1 shown. The compression system is arranged on the top of the fuel assembly, axially compresses the fuel assembly, keeps it in contact with the lower core plate, and compensates for the radiation growth of the fuel assembly and the thermal expansion difference of the fuel assembly relative to the internal components. If the load of the compression system is too small, the fuel assembly cannot be compressed, and if it is too large, it will cause the fuel assembly to bend and affect the contro...
