FEA Mechanical simulation (G)
******
FEA mechanical simulations (G) are performed for tungsten monoblock by imposing the following boundary conditions:
• Thermal stress obtained from FEA thermal simulation (C).
• Coolant pressure.
• Temperature dependant heat flux is derived based on the 1D modelling approach which is like that one employed for ITER cooling system.
The thermal properties such as thermal expansion coefficient, thermal conductivity and specific heat are obtained from literature. In particular, the thermal conductivity (f(dpa, temperature)) of tungsten armour are obtained from the effective thermal conductivity derived from the RVE thermal simulations (F) modelled with irradiation-induced defects. While, the thermal conductivity (f(dpa, temperature)) of copper interlayer and CuCrZr coolant pipe are obtained both from literature and based on some assumptions.
