Application of Limit Analysis in Pipe Radial Stops of Nuclear Power Station

As a new technology in safety analysis of equipment,the limit analysis is an important plasticity failure analysis method in the area of engineering intensity design.The limit bearing capacity of pipe radial stops in nuclear power station is evaluated by adopting the limit analysis.The application of limit analysis in evaluations of equipment is illustrated in details by using of the above-mentioned example.The definitions and methods can be extended to elastic-plastically finite element analysis of other equipment in nuclear power stations.
