Residual Stress Analysis in Containers for Transport of Radioactive Materials

Article Preview

Abstract:

During verification of safe operation of containers for radioactive waste is possible to use analytical, numerical and experimental methods of mechanics. Determination of residual stresses was one part of analysis. The residual stresses in container body can be induced during their production, overloading during operation, radiation or by thermal processes. In the paper are presented results from analysis of residual stresses in containers by using strain-gage hole-drilling method.
