Stress Analysis of Specimens for in-Pile Creep Tests of Parabolic Graphite Beams

PDF Version Also Available for Download.

Description

The irradiation-induced creep of graphite is being investigated in experiments that consist of loading parabolically shaped cantilever beams at the free end and measuring the resulting deflections with time. A series of stress analyses was made to verify the applicability of the elementary strength-of- materials approach for obtaining relations between stress and creep strain from the load-deflection data. The results of the analyses, which included a theory- of-elasticity solution, an evaluation of the effect of shear, and a bending analysis using an actual stress-strain diagram for graphite, show that an elementary strength-of-materials approach is adequate to predict the initial or … continued below

The results of the analyses, which included a theory- of-elasticity solution, an evaluation of the effect of shear, and a bending analysis using an actual stress-strain diagram for graphite, show that an elementary strength-of-materials approach is adequate to predict the initial or elastic stresses. Preliminary results from the in-pile experiments indicate that the creep strains are linear with stress; thus the initially linear bending stress distribution given by the elementary theory remains unchanged during creep.
