- Summary
- In analyzing the response of loosely stacked hexagonal blocks during a seismic event in the High-Temperature Gas Cooled Reactor (HTGR), a spring-mass-damper model was used to approximate the velocity and the impact configuration of core blocks and a finite element model was used to estimate the dynamic stress, the coefficient of restitution, and the contact time for the impact of two or more blocks. The latter approach is discussed.
