핵연료 부품 설계개선 및 부품설계 최적화와 관련하여 Holddown Spring 설계해석 방법을 조사하고 기존 해석방법을 보완한 개선된 해석방법을 제시하였다. 이 개선된 스프링 해석방법을 이용하여 기존 17$\times$17 국산핵연료의 Holddown Spring 및 직선형 Holddown Spring 특성해석을 시도하여 시험결과와 비교하였다. 이들 해석결과 개선된 해석방법에 의한 스프링 특성의 예측은 시험값에 잘 일치함을 보인다. 또한 최대응력에 기초한 스프링 판 두께 최적화로써 직선형 스프링의 두께에 대한 최적화를 실시하여 그 특성을 검토하였다.

Based on the Euler beam theory and the elastic strain energy method, the elastic stiffness formula of the holddown spring assembly consisting of several leaves was previously derived. Even though the previous formula was known to be useful to estimate the elastic stiffness of the holddown spring assembly, recently it was reported that the elastic stiffness from the previous formula deviated greatly from the test results as the number of leaves was increased. The objective of this study is to extend the previous formula in order to resolve such an increasing deviation when increasing the number of leaves. Additionally, considering the friction forces acting on the interfaces between the leaves, we obtained an extended elastic stiffness formula. The characteristic test and the elastic stiffness analysis on the various kinds of specimens of the holddown spring assembly have been carried out; the validity of the extended formula has been verified by the comparison of their results. As a result of comparisons, it is found that the extended formula is able to evaluate the elastic stiffness of the holddown spring assembly within the maximum error range of + 12%, irrespective of the number of the leaves.

A failure analysis of holddown spring screw was performed using fracture mechanics approach. The spring screw was designed such that it was capable of sustaining the loads imposed by the initial tensile preload and operational loads. In order to investigate the cause of failure, a stress analysis of the top nozzle spring assembly was done using finite element analysis and a life prediction of the screw was made using a fracture mechanics approach. The elastic-plastic finite element analysis showed that the local stresses at the critical regions of head-shank fillet and thread root significantly exceeded than the yield strength of the screw material, resulting in local plastic deformation. Primary water stress corrosion cracking life of the Inconel 600 screw was predicted by using integration of the Scott model and resulted in 1.42 years, which was fairly close to the actual service life of the holddown spring screw.

A lifetime prediction of holddown spring screw in nuclear fuel assembly was performed using fracture mechanics approach. The spring screw was designed such that it was capable of sustaining the loads imposed by the initial tensile preload and operational loads. In order to investigate the cause of failure and to predict the stress corrosion cracking life of the screw, a stress analysis of the top nozzle spring assembly was done using finite element analysis. The elastic-plastic finite element analysis showed that the local stresses at the critical regions of head-shank fillet and thread root significantly exceeded than the yield strength of the screw material, resulting in local plastic deformation. Normalized stress intensity factors for PWSCC life prediction was proposed. Primary water stress corrosion cracking life of the Inconel 600 screw was predicted by using integration of the Scott model and resulted in 1.78 years, which was fairly close to the actual service life of the holddown spring screw.

영광 3,4호기용 원전연료에 사용되는 구조용 부품들 중에서 coil형 Holddown spring을 포함한 Upper end fitting assembly, Lower end fitting 등을 국내에서 제조할 수 있는 제조공정이 대우 정밀(주)에서 개발되었다. 이 공정에서 제조한 시제품들에 대하여 기계/구조적인 설계 관점에서 요구되는 제 조건들의 만족 여부를 구조강도 및 특성시험을 통하여 검증하였다. 검증시험 결과 주조제품인 Holddown plate 및 Lower end fitting은 주조물에서 요구되는 제기준과 기계/구조적인 설계 관건에서의 구조적 강도요건을 만족하고 있었고 coil형 Holddown spring의 특성이 설계 요구범위내에 있음이 확인됨으로서 향후 생산될 원전연료에는 금번에 개발된 공정으로 제조될 부품들이 사용필 수 있으리라 전망된다.

The previous elastic stiffness formulas of leaf type holddown spring assemblies(HDSs) have been corrected and extended to be able to consider the point of taper runout for the TT-HDS and all the strain energies for both the TT-HDS and the TW-HDS based on Euler beam theory and Castigliano'stheorem. The elastic stiffness sensitivity of the leaf type holddown spring assemblies was analyzed using the derived elastic stiffness formulas and their gradient vectors obtained from the mid-point formula. As a result of the sensitivity analysis, the elastic stiffness sensitivity at each design variable is quantified and design variables having remarkable sensitivity are identified. Among the design variables, leaf thickness is identified as that of having the most remarkable sensitivity of the elastic stiffness. In addition, it was found that the sensitivity of the leaf type HDS's elastic stiffness is exponentially correlated to the leaf thickness.
