Summary
A series of tests evaluating the survivability of several radioactive material shipping containers, when subjected to high-speed impacts, was conducted. An objective of the program is to develop both analytical and empirical models or techniques which will predict the damage to containers as a function of container type, impact velocity, impact attitude, and target hardness; these analytical and experimental techniques are described. Simple structural models were used in the analyses. The analyses proceeded from simple linear spring-mass representations of the container and target, through non-linear and finite element models. Various parametric studies were made using these techniques to derive container damage estimates based on impact velocity and target hardness. The tested containers have been evaluated with respect to structural damage, leak rate, and content losses. Based on the data from two different containers, the effect of the target, stated as impact speed resulting in approximately equivalent structural deformations, is reported.
