Structural Response of DEMO Divertor Under Electromagnetic Loading
摘要
This paper illustrates a methodology for evaluating the Dynamic Amplification Factor (DAF), useful to assess the structural behaviour of the DEMO divertor under electromagnetic loads. The purpose is to determine a conservative DAF in order to justify the usage of DAF-amplified static analyses instead of more demanding (from a computational point of view) dynamic analyses, allowing for faster structural assessments and optimization processes. The proposed approach allows to amplify the structural quasi-static response conservatively, to estimate the maximum dynamic response. The methodology is of general validity and can be used even when some relevant variations on the structure are made.
