CRASHC: a two-dimensional code to compute the response of axisymmetric shipping containers to end-on impacts
Description:
Safety evaluation of radioactive material shipping containers entails determining their response to severe impact conditions. In this paper a computer code for obtaining the nonlinear response of axisymmetric shipping containers to end-on impact is described. The nonlinear equations of motion are derived with the finite element method. Large displacements and nonlinear strain and material properties are considered. The resulting computer code, CRASHC, is then used to simulate several impact tes…
