1.0 INTRODUCTION

1.1 Background Information This calculation addresses United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) request for additional information (RAI) # 199/156 (Reference 3) pertaining to Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) Browns Ferry Units 1 and 2 extended power uprate (EPU) licensing application.

In the stress assessment of the Unit 1 steam dryer, TVA has employed submodel analysis approach to determine a stress reduction factor (SRF) and apply it to the shell analysis stress in the full shell model steam dryer analysis. NRC has noted that the submodel analysis approach is different from a typical substructure analysis approach, as employed in the general purpose finite element code such as ANSYS (References 4 & 5). This calculation validates the submodel analysis approach by specifically addressing the following issues:

1. An analysis of the problem using a typical substructure analysis approach.
2. An analysis of the problem applying the submodel analysis approach, by applying "loads" to match the stress intensity along a line common to the full shell model and the shell submodel.
3. An analysis of the problem applying the submodel analysis approach, by applying "displacements" to match the stress intensity along a line common to the full shell model and the shell submodel.
4. A comparison of the results obtained in (1) using the typical substructure analysis approach with those in (2) and (3) using the submodel analysis approach.

1.2 Validation Methodology The submodel analysis approach will be validated using two analysis options: (1) static analysis and (2) dynamic time history analysis. In both the static and dynamic time history analyses, the submodel analysis approach will be compared with the typical substructure analysis approach.

In addition to the requested comparison of the two approaches, the following additional analyses are performed to provide more benchmark comparison:

  • Perform a static analysis using a full solid model, which models in the detailed weld configuration. This full solid model analysis provides the most accurate information, since this does not include any inherent assumption or approximation associated with substructure or submodel analysis techniques.

In the static analysis, two submodels are developed: one submodel is 1/2 the size of the full model, and the other is 3/4 the size of the full model. The two different sized models will provide some additional data for comparison, and establish if the size of the submodel influences the analysis results.

1.3 Nomenclature The key terminology used in the calculation is defined as follows.

Submodel This refers to a subpart of the full model that has been developed for use in either the substructure analysis or the submodel analyses.

Substructure Analysis Substructure analysis refers to a typical analysis approach, as employed in the general purpose finite element codes such as ANSYS. In this approach, the displacements from the full model analysis are interpolated and mapped onto the nodes on the appropriate submodel boundaries. These nodal displacements along the boundaries and any loads applied to the local region determine the solution of the submodel.

Submodel Analysis In a submodel analysis, two submodels are created: one is based on shell elements and the other solid elements. The shell submodel is used to match the stress profile in the submodel with the corresponding stress profile of the full shell model. This matching of stress profile is an iterative process. This is performed by applying loads or displacements, typically along a line. When a close match of the stress profile is achieved, the established loads or displacements can then be applied to the corresponding solid submodel stress analysis. Appropriate boundary conditions are required to be applied to the submodel boundaries. A stress reduction factor (SRF) is calculated by comparing the solid submodel result to the corresponding full shell model result. The SRF is then applied to the appropriate stresses in the full model shell analysis.

Stress Reduction Factor (SRF)

This refers to the ratio of the maximum solid submodel linearized stress intensity and the maximum full shell model stress intensity, at the location of interest. Mathematically, SRF is defined as "Solid Submodel Maximum Linearized Pm + Pb Stress Intensity (along solid submodel stress paths) / Full Shell Model Maximum Pm + Pb Stress Intensity".

Structural Integrity Associates, Inco 3.0 FINITE ELEMENT MODEL DEVELOPMENT There are a total of 6 finite element models used in this study:

1. The full shell model (see Figure 3-1). This model is used to establish the Shell Baseline Analysis.
2. The full solid model (see Figure 3-2). This model is used to establish the Solid Baseline Analysis.
3. The shell submodel #1 (see Figure 3-3). This shell submodel is 1/2 the size of the full shell model. This model is used in the submodel analysis to match the stress intensity along the weld line.
4. The solid submodel #1 (see Figure 3-4). This solid submodel corresponds to the shell submodel as shown in Figure 3-3. This model is used to establish the stress reduction factor (SmF.
5. The shell submodel #2 (see Figure 3-5). This shell submodel is 3/4 the size of the full shell model. This model is used in the submodel analysis to match the stress intensity along the weld line.
6. The solid submodel #2 (see Figure 3-6). This solid submodel corresponds to the shell submodel as shown in Figure 3-5. This model is used to establish the stress reduction factor (SRF).

A typical finite element mesh of the shell model is shown in Figure 3-7, and a typical finite element mesh of the solid model is shown in Figure 3-8.

Detailed weld configurations are modeled in the solid finite element models. The top two edges of the vertical plates are fixed, and the two vertical edges are free, i.e. not restrained(see Figure 3-1).

The boundary conditions are identified for each of the finite element model in the figures.

3.2 Finite Element Mesh Shell Finite Element Model The shell finite element model is modeled using SHELL63 elements. A regular mesh size of 0.25" is used for the shell finite element models. The full shell model consists of approximately 7,800 nodes and 7,600 shell elements. The following Figure 3-7 shows the finite element mesh for the shell finite element models.

Solid Finite Element Model The solid finite element model is modeled using SOLID45 elements. The solid finite element models generally maintain the same element size of 0.25". In the transition regions around the weld, finer element sizes are used. Six layers of element are modeled across the plate thickness, therefore, providing adequate discretization through the plate thickness to capture the stress variations across the thickness. The entire model consists of approximately 86,000 nodes and 76,000 solid elements.

The following Figure 3-8 shows the finite element mesh for the solid finite element models.

In addition, linearization stress paths are also taken from the weld toe to the opposite surface of the connected parts. The stress paths used for the stiffener solid model are shown in the following Figure 3-9 and Figure 3-10.

1. Vertical Load A uniform vertical load of 24 lb is applied along Edge C (see Figure 3-1). This load will generate primarily bending stress on the horizontal plate. In the submodel analysis, applied displacements will be used to match the stress intensity along the weld line.
2. Horizontal Load A uniform horizontal load of 480 lb is applied along Edge C in the Z direction (see Figure 3-1).

This load will generate primarily membrane stress on the horizontal plate. In the submodel analysis, applied loads will be used to match the stress intensity along the weld line.

Static Analysis Objectives The two static load cases accomplish the following objectives:

  • Applying Displacement in Submodel Analysis This is accomplished in the Load Case #1.
  • Applying Load in Submodel Analysis This is accomplished in the Load Case #2.
  • Full Solid Finite Element Baseline Analysis This analysis provides a direct comparison with the full shell finite elemnt baseline analysis.

This analysis removes any inherent approximation and assumption that is associated with the substructure and submodel analyses.

Submodel #1 and Submodel #2 Two submodels are used for substructure and submodel analyses. Submodel #1 is 1/2 the size of the full model, and submodel #2 is 3/4 the size of the full model. This different size will highlight the discrepancies, if any, in the substructure and submodel analyses.

4.2 Dynamic Analysis Load Cases Two dynamic load cases are applied:

I. Vertical Load A harmonic uniform vertical load of 24 lb, applied along Edge C (see Figure 3-1). The freqeuncy of the load is set at 25 Hz. The maximum magnitude of this load is similar to the corresponding static analysis load case.

2. Horizontal Load A harmonic uniform horizontal load of 480 lb is applied along Edge C in the Z direction (see Figure 3-1). The frequency of the load is set at 25 Hz. The maximum magnitude of this load is similar to the corresponding static analysis load case.

Dynamic Analysis Objectives The two dynamic load cases accomplish the following objectives:

" Applying Displacement in Submodel Analysis This is accomplished in the Load Case #1.

  • Applying Load in Submodel Analysis This is accomplished in the Load Case #2.
  • Comparing the effectiveness of substructure analysis and submodel analysis.

6.2 Structural Damping Values For the purpose of this study, assume that the structural critical damping value is 4%.

The damping used in the dynamic transient analysis is the Alpha and Beta damping, also known as the Rayleigh damping and is defined by Rayleigh damping constants x and P3. The damping matrix, C, is calculated by using these constants to multiply the mass matrix, M, and the stiffness matrix, K:

C = aM + P3K The values of a and P3 are calculated from modal damping ratio, 4i, which is the ratio of actual damping to critical damping for a particular mode of vibration, i. If oi is the natural frequency of the mode i, a and 03 satisfy the relation:

4i = a/2o~i + 3,oi/2 (Reference 4, Structural Analysis Guide, Section 5.9.3)

Therefore, given 4 and a frequency range between wi and coj, two simultaneous equations can be solved for ax and P3.

In this analysis, the frequency range is 2.0 Hz and 28.2 Hz, which cover the frequency range from mode #1 to mode #I0(see Table 6-1 and Table 6-2). The calculated values are:

ax

= 0.939 P = 4.216E-4 The calculations of ax and P3 are documented in the spreadsheet Damping.xls (described in Appendix A).

6.3 Time History Analysis Integration Time Step The accuracy of the transient dynamic solution depends on the integration time step. For the Newmark time integration used herein, it is recommended that using approximately twenty points per cycle of the highest frequency of interest results in a reasonably accurate solution. That is, iff is the frequency (in Hz), the integration time step (ITS) is given by:

ITS

= 1/(20J)

(Reference 4, Structural Analysis Guide, Section 5.9.1)

The modal analysis shows that the highest major mode is 28.2 Hz, in the vertical direction (see Table 6-1). The applied harmonic load frequency is set at 25 Hz (see Section 4.2). Therefore, conservatively use 50 Hz as the highest frequency of interest.

Figure 6-6 Substructure Analysis using Shell Submodel #2 Stress Plot for Load Case #1 Observation The maximum stress intensity of 1,564 psi is significantly lower than the full shell baseline analysis maximum stress intensity of 2,100 psi. The stress pattern is also different. The maximum stress intensity for the substructure analysis is located along the edge, not at the weld line.

In this analysis, only the displacements at the boundaries are mapped from the full shell model to the submodel. The shell internal displacements, influenced by the dynamic inertia effects, are not captured in the substructure analysis. Without imposing the dynamic characteristic displacements within the submodel boundaries, the substructure analysis is not able to duplicate the stress pattern of the full shell model.

8.0 DISCUSSIONS The comparisons of the SRF and the different analyses lead to the following observation and deduction.

8.1 Static Analysis Substructure Analysis Using Shell Submodels The substructure analyses using the shell submodels show that the results are the same as the full shell model. The maximum stress intensities from both the shell submodel and the full shell model analyses are the same. The stress plots of both the submodel and full model analyses also show that the stress patterns are the same.

Substructure Analysis Using Solid Submodels The substructure analysis using the solid submodel predicts higher SRF than the SRF computed in the full solid model baseline analysis (see Table 7-1 and Table 7-2). The reason that they are different is because the shell model is more flexible than the solid model, which models in the detailed weld configuration.

The local region of the solid model that models in the weld configuration becomes stiffer than the corresponding region in the shell model. When the displacements from the more flexible shell model analysis are applied onto the more rigid solid submodel, higher stresses are computed for the solid submodel.

To better predict the local stresses using the substructure analysis, the boundaries of the submodel need to be extended to a reasonable distance. This is evident when the submodel #1 and submodel

  1. 2 substructure analysis results are compared. When the boundaries are extended from submodel #1 to submodel #2, the SRF is lowered (see Table 7-1 and Table 7-2).

Submodel Analysis The study shows that when the matching of the stress intensity profile along the high stress weld line is achieved, the submodel analysis is a reasonable approach for calculating the SRF. For Load Cases

  1. 1 and #2, the submodel analyses have computed SRFs that show good agreement with the full solid model baseline analysis.

The SRFs computed using submodels #1 and #2 are very similar. This similarity in SRFs demonstrate that after satisfactory stress intensity profile matching, the computation of SRFs is not sensitive to the size of the submodel.

8.2 Dynamic Analysis Substructure Analysis Using Shell Submodels The maximum stress intensity calculated using a substructure shell analysis is significantly lower than the maximum stress intensity computed using full shell baseline analysis. The stress patterns of the two analyses are also different.

In the substructure analysis, only the displacements at the boundaries are mapped from the full shell model to the submodel boundaries. The shell internal displacements, caused by the dynamic inertia effects, are not captured in the substructure analysis. Without imposing the dynamic characteristic displacements at regions within the submodel boundaries, the substructure analysis is not able to duplicate the stress pattern of the full shell model. This results in predicting lower shell submodel stresses at the weld line.

Substructure Analysis Using Solid Submodels Similar to the substructure analysis using shell submodel, the substructure analysis using. solid submodel also does not capture the internal displacements at regions within the submodel boundaries, and therefore the full dynamic inertia effects of the structure have not been accurately represented. This also results in predicting lower solid submodel stresses at the weld line.

Consequently, the SRF computed using the substructure analysis shows an unreasonably low value (see Table 7-3 and Table 7-4).

Submodel Analysis Similar to the static analysis, the study shows that when the matching of the stress intensity profile along the high stress weld line is achieved, the submodel analysis is a reasonable approach for the calculation of the SRF.

For both Load Cases #1 and #2, the SRFs computed using the submodel analysis are significantly higher than the SRFs computed using the substructure analysis. However, they demonstrate reasonable agreement with the SRFs computed in the static analysis.

9.0 CONCLUSION

S The comparison study documented in this calculation fully addresses the issues identified in the RAI 199/156 from NRC (Reference 3).

Two Load Cases have been considered in this calculation:

Load Case #1 This load case examines the scenario where the weld is subjected to mainly bending action. To match the stress profile, imposed displacements are used. This is similar to the submodel analysis approach used to determine the stresses at the bottom of the skirt/drain channel junction.

Load Case #2 This load case examines the scenario where the weld is subjected to mainly membrane action. To match the stress profile, imposed loads are used. This is similar to the submodel analysis approach used to determine the stresses at the intersection between the bottom of the inner hood, stiffener and base plate.

Two analysis options have been evaluated: the static analysis and the dynamic time history analysis.

Together these analyses show that the SRFs computed using the TVA submodel analysis technique are accurate and acceptable.

In conclusion, this comparison study validates the submodel analysis approach adopted for the steam dryer stress analysis.
