This Document Does Not Contain Continuum Dynamics, Inc. Proprietary Information 5.2 Load Combinations and Allowable Stress Intensities The stress ratios computed for CLTP at nominal frequency and with frequency shifting are listed in Table 9. The stress ratios are grouped according to type (SR-P for maximum membrane and membrane+bending stress, SR-a for alternating stress) and location (away from welds or on a weld). The tabulated nodes are also depicted in Figure 14 (no frequency shift) and Figure 15 (all frequency shifts included). The plots corresponding to maximum stress intensities depict all nodes with stress ratios less than 4 or 5 as indicated, and the plots of alternating stress ratios display all nodes with SR-a<5.

For CLTP operation at nominal frequency the minimum stress ratio is identified as a maximum stress, SR-P=1.34, and is recorded on the bottom of the vertical plate joining the innermost vane banks. However, this location is only weakly responsive to acoustic loads as can be seen from the high alternating stress ratio at this location (SR-a>16.5 at all frequency shifts).

This is true for all three nodes having the lowest values of SR-P, all having SR-a>5.1 at all frequency shifts.

The minimum alternating stress ratio at zero frequency shift, SR-a=3.00, occurs on the weld connecting the inner hood and hood support.

The effects of frequency shifts can be conservatively accounted for by identifying the minimum stress ratio at every node, where the minimum is taken over all the frequency shifts considered (including the nominal or 0% shift case).

The resulting stress ratios are then processed as before to identify the smallest stress ratios anywhere on the structure, categorized by stress type (maximum or alternating) and location (on or away from a weld). The results are summarized in Table 9b and show that the lowest stress ratio, SR-P=1.34, occurs at the same location as in the nominal case and retains virtually the same value. Moreover, the next three lowest SR-P locations are the same as in Table 9a. The lowest alternating stress ratio, SR-a=2.89 occurs at the common intersection point of the bottom of the inner hood, hood support and base plate (see Figure 15f). Hood supports are also involved in locations 3-5, 10-11 and 15. The next lowest SR-a location involves the lifting rod support brace (Figure 15g) involving locations 2 and 7. The remaining low alternating stress ratio locations occur on: (i) closure plates (locations 9 and 16); (ii) tie bar ends or their immediate vicinity (locations 12 and 14); or (iii) the hoods.

The estimated alternating stress ratio at EPU operation is obtained by scaling the corresponding value at CLTP by the square of the ratio of the steam flow velocities at EPU and CLTP conditions. Since this ratio, (UEpu/UcLTp)2=1.178 2=1.388, the limiting alternating stress ratio at any frequency shift for EPU is estimated as SR-a=2.89/1.388=2.08. This value qualifies the Unit 2 dryer at EPU conditions with considerable margin. The limiting stress ratio, SR-P, is dominated by the static load and has a weaker dependence on power. When this node is reanalyzed with the MSL signals increased by 1.388, the limiting SR-P reduces to 1.32 at EPU.

In summary, the lowest alternating stress ratio occurs at the base of the inner hood support where it is welded to the middle base plate and vertical vane bank support. Its value, SR-a=2.89 at the -5% frequency shift indicates that stresses are well below allowable levels. The lowest stress ratio associated with a maximum stress is SR-P=1.34 at CLTP. This value is dominated by the static component and is only weakly altered by acoustic loads (it reduces to 1.32 at EPU).

Since acoustic loads scale roughly with the square of the steam flow, the limiting alternating 63 This Document Does Not Contain Continuum Dynamics, Inc.

The plots corresponding to maximum stress intensities depict all nodes with stress ratios less than 4 or 5 as indicated, and the plots of alternating stress ratios display all nodes with SR-a~5.

This Document Does Not Contain Continuum Dynamics, Inc. Proprietary Information 5.3 Frequency Content and Filtering of the Stress Signals The frequency contribution to the stresses can be investigated by examining the power spectral density (PSD) curves and accumulative PSDs for selected nodes having low alternating stress ratios. The accumulative PSDs are computed directly from the Fourier coefficients as Z((Onn E(On) =

Zk~

6 (0k)12 where &(c0k) is the complex stress harmonic at frequency, ok. Accumulative PSD plots are useful for determining the frequency components and frequency ranges that make the largest contributions to the fluctuating stress.

Unlike PSD plots, no "binning" or smoothing of frequency components is needed to obtain smooth curves. Steep step-like rises in Y((o) indicate the presence of a strong component at a discrete frequency whereas gradual increases in the curve imply significant content over a broader frequency range.

From Parsival's theorem, equality between Y(oN) (where N is the total number of frequency components) and the RMS of the stress signal in the time domain is established.

The selected nodes are the ones having the lowest alternating stress ratios (at a weld) in Table 9b. These are:

Node 85723 - located on the inner hood/hood support/middle base plate junction.

The associated PSDs are shown in Figure 16a.

Node 89649 - located on the lifting rod brace/vane bank end plate connection.

The associated PSDs are shown in Figure 16b.

Node 99529 - located on the weld joining the inner hood and hood support. The associated PSDs are shown in Figure 16c.

Node 99212 - located on the weld joining the outer hood and its end plate. The associated PSDs are shown in Figure 16d.

Node 87780 - located on the weld joining the closure plate to the outer closure plate to the outer vane bank. The associated PSDs are shown in Figure 16e.

These are the nodes labeled 1-3, 8 and 9 in Table 9b and accompanying Figure 15f-i.

In each case, since there are six stress components and up to three different section locations for shells (the top, mid and bottom surfaces), there is a total of 18 stress histories per component.

Moreover, at junctions there are at least two components that meet at the junction. The particular stress component that is plotted is chosen as follows. First, the component and section location (top/mid/bottom) is taken as the one that has the highest alternating stress. This narrows the selection to six components. Of these, the component having the highest Root Mean Square (RMS) is selected.

The first node (85723), is dominated by a broad peak centered at 71 Hz. The frequency shifted curves do not differ significantly from the non-shifted results. Judging from the PSD curves, it appears that in the non-shifted case there are two peaks about 71 Hz, with one - the 85 This Document Does Not Contain Continuum Dynamics, Inc.

L( (J)n) = L la( (J)k)12 k=l where a(wk) is the complex stress harmonic at frequency, (J)k. Accumulative PSD plots are useful for determining the frequency components and frequency ranges that make the largest contributions to the fluctuating stress.

Unlike PSD plots, no "binning" or smoothing of frequency components is needed to obtain smooth curves. Steep step-like rises in L(w) indicate the presence of a strong component at a discrete frequency whereas gradual increases in the curve imply significant content over a broader frequency range.

From Parsival's theorem, equality between L((J)N) (where N is the total number of frequency components) and the RMS of the stress signal in the time domain is established.

The selected nodes are the ones having the lowest alternating stress ratios (at a weld) in Table 9b. These are:

The first node (85723), is dominated by a broad peak centered at 71 Hz. The frequency shifted curves do not differ significantly from th~ non-shifted results. Judging from the PSD curves, it appears that in the non-shifted case there are two peaks about 71 Hz, with one - the 85

This Document Does Not Contain Continuum Dynamics, Inc. Proprietary Information lower frequency one - being dominant. When the signal is shifted, the forcing on the lower frequency mode is reduced and that on the higher frequency mode increases. Interestingly, the combined effect is to effectively shift the peak frequency upward even though the signal is shifted downward (as is clear by comparing some of the other peaks). This is effect is readily explainable in the context of the complex multi-modal system being considered here. Frequency shifting has a more pronounced effect on node 89649 which has dominant frequencies at 13.4 Hz, 19.6 Hz and 136 Hz. The lower frequency peaks grow, but do not shift significantly with the +10% frequency shift. The higher frequency peak appears to shift and attenuate with the frequency shift in the signal.

The third node is dominated by a 45.4 Hz peak.

This dominance appears to be spatially localized meaning that the number of locations on the dryer where this is the dominant frequency, are few. However, the same frequency peak shows up in the limiting location at node 85723 which also involves the inner hood suggesting that the inner hood is responsive to acoustic signals at this frequency. The stress response at node 99212 is also characterized by a single dominant the dominant peak, this time at a frequency between 69 and 71 Hz. This frequency characterizes most of the surface on the outer panels of the outer hood on the MSL C/D side. Finally for node 87780, the dominant stress contributions occur at higher frequencies.

Without frequency shifting the dominant frequency is 180.0 Hz which coincides with a multiple of electrical noise (60 Hz - note however, that the electrical noise is filtered).

At the +7.5% shift the dominant frequency is at 184.5 Hz which corresponds to 171.6 Hz in the original non-shifted signal.

When the signal is shifted, the forcing on the lower frequency mode is reduced and that on the higher frequency mode increases. Interestingly, the combined effect is to effectively shift the peak frequency upward even though the signal is shifted downward (as is clear by comparing some of the other peaks).

6. Conclusions A frequency-based steam dryer stress analysis has been used to calculate high stress locations and calculated / allowable stress ratios for the Nine Mile Point Unit 2 steam dryer at CLTP load conditions using plant measurement data. A detailed description of the frequency-based methodology and the finite element model for the NMP Unit 2 steam dryer is presented. The CLTP loads obtained in a separate acoustic circuit model [3] including end-to-end bias and uncertainty for both the ACM [3] and FEA were applied to a finite element model of the steam dryer consisting mainly of the ANSYS Shell 63 elements, brick continuum elements and beam elements.
The measured CLTP loads are applied without filtering of low power data. The resulting stress histories were analyzed to obtain maximum and alternating stresses at all nodes for comparison against allowable levels. These results are tabulated in Table 9 of this report. The minimum alternating stress ratio at nominal operation is SR-a=3.00 and the minimum alternating stress ratio taken over all frequency shifts is SR-a=2.89. The stress ratio associated with maximum stress intensities varies weakly with frequency shift and assumes a minimum value of SR-P=l.34 both with and without frequency shifting.
Since flow-induced acoustic resonances are not anticipated in the steam dryer, the alternating stress ratios at EPU operation can be obtained by scaling the CLTP values by the steam flow velocity squared,.
Under this approach, the limiting alternating stress ratio becomes SR-a=2.89/1.388=2.08. For the node with the limiting maximum stress ratios at CLTP, the corresponding limiting value at EPU is SR-P=1.32.
Given that the alternating stress ratio SR-a obtained at EPU remains above 2.08 at all frequency shifts together with the comparatively small dependence of SR-P upon acoustic loads, the Unit 2 dryer is expected to qualify at EPU conditions.

This Document Does Not Contain Continuum Dynamics, Inc. Proprietary Information Sub model Node 101175 The sub-model for this node located at the top of the vertical weld joining the closure plate to the vane bank is shown in Figure 19a and involves five different components. The extracted forces are shown in Figure 19b. The shell sub-model stress distribution is shown in Figure 19c with a maximum (i.e., the maximum taken over all components and surfaces - top, bottom and middle) stress intensity stress at the location of 3362 psi. The corresponding solid sub-model together with mesh details and the stress distribution resulting when the same loads used in the shell sub-model are applied, are shown in Figure 20.
Finally, the stress intensity linearization paths and corresponding linearized stresses extracted from the solid model are shown in Figure 21 and tabulated in Table 11.
The limiting linearized stress in the solid sub-model is 2088 psi. Comparing this value against the one obtained in the shell sub-model (3362 psi) yields the stress reduction factor: 2088/3362 = 0.62.

This Document Does Not Contain Continuum Dynamics, Inc. Proprietary Information Sub model node 91605.
The sub-model for this node located on the weld connecting the closure plate to the hood is shown in Figure 22a and involves two different components - the hood and closure plate. The extracted forces are shown in Figure 22b. The shell sub-model stress distribution is shown in Figure 22c with a maximum (i.e., the maximum taken over all components and surfaces - top, bottom and middle) stress intensity stress at the location of 3176 psi.
The stresses in the comers are neither singularities nor due to constraint forces (they arise regardless of where the model is supported). When the sub-model mesh is refined these stresses do not grow. Instead they essentially retain their coarse level values but extend over a smaller range (i.e., over one element). A mathematical explanation for this behavior indicates that the localized stress is due to the local imbalance (due to discretization error) in the applied shear loads. Thus to equilibrate the applied in-plane stresses on the edges a jump in element stress is required.
The same behavior generally occurs when non-equal shear stresses are applied near the comer.
The solid sub-model, mesh and stresses are shown in Figure 23 and, the stress intensity linearization paths and corresponding linearized stresses extracted from the solid model are shown in Figure 24 and tabulated in Table 12. The limiting linearized stress in the solid sub-model is 2254 psi, which, when compared against the one obtained in the shell sub-model (3176 psi) yields the stress reduction factor:
2254/3176 = 0.71.
