Infos

The report presents the numerical analysis of two one meter drop tests of a single ductile cast iron cask on a steel bar. This analysis is a follow-up to the analysis 1. The cask comes from the CASTOR family with machined cooling fins in a region where impact occurs. In the first test, the impact is on the cask s cooling fins whereas in the second test the impact is in an area where the fins have been locally machined away. The numerical analysis is based on an explicit dynamic analysis using the commercial finite element code ABAQUS extended with Python scripts to allow a parametric description of the problem. The report describes two sets of analyses. First a comparison to the model used in 1 was carried out together with advanced parameter variation simulations (advanced sensitivity analyses) and then the responses of the basic model are compared with the experimental results provided by GNS.
