Analysis for Deformation of a Nuclear Reactor Grid Structure
Abstract
A general procedure is presented for determining the deformation (slopes and deflections) of a grid support structure for a nuclear reactor. Use is made of the Rayleigh-Ritz method which utilizes an infinite series of polynomials. The grid structure consists of two circular perforated plates separated and interconnected by a large number of tubes. The holes are distributed in a hexagonal manner with respect to the center of the plates. Tubes pass through each hole and serve as supports for loads acting on the top end of every tube. The edges of the plates are peripherally supported and may have any degree of restraint ranging from fixed to simple supports.
