Dynamic Characteristics Analysis of Steam Generator Tube of Nuclear Power Plant by Finite Elements

Article Preview

Abstract:

In nuclear power plants, the steam generator heat transfer tube is the weakest part of the primary circuit pressure boundary. Flow induced vibration is one of the main reasons for the failure of the heat transfer tube. In this paper, an ANSYS finite element software is used to carry out the modal analysis of the heat transfer tube, and to simulate the dynamic response of the heat transfer tube in the harmonic load based on the modal analysis.
