  1. Molybdenum-99 Group Meeting February 14, 2011 Kyler Turner1 1University of Missouri, Columbia, MO Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering University of Missouri-Columbia

  2. Benchmarking Progress • Analytical and Numerical Comparison • A simply supported model was used for the comparison • An Abaqus model using reduced integration elements was used for the comparison. • The boundary conditions were a “roller” type. Table 1. Analytical and numerical comparison

  3. Investigating Uniform and Non-Uniform Heating • Using the verified 3-D to analyze uniform and non-uniform heating in the plate target has now begun.

  4. Curved Composite Reactor Control Blade • Control Blade • The blade is used to control the neutron flux in the University of Missouri Research Reactor. • During reactor operation the neutron flux and gamma flux produce internal heat generation. • The structure consist of a central area made of Boral with aluminum cladding surrounding the Boral. Composite sandwich of Aluminum and Boral. Cutaway of the composite structure. Four areas with internal heat generation. Aluminum Boral

  5. Curved Composite Reactor Control Blade • Curved Blade Behavior • During heating the blade will deform and flatten. It is believed this occurs because of the different material properties in within the composite structure. • The figure shows the deflection in the y direction. Y
