Abstract
A sequentially coupled thermal-stress procedure has been proposed for the strength evaluation of a typical Floating Nuclear Power Plant (FNPP) tank, which is of great importance for the nuclear security. At first, a novel 3D model has been developed for the required estimation of temperatures in tank's void spaces, followed by the calculation of the steady state temperature on the entire FNPP tank. Then, the calculation of stress distribution in the FNPP tank has been carried out using ABAQUS for given thermal and structural loading, which have been compared with the criteria provided in ASME codes.
