How is Structural capacity determined by simplified linear elastic analysis or by Code provisions?
Direct Answer
Option B: both (a) and (b)
Structural capacity assessments under the IGF Code require consideration of both plastic deformation and buckling when utilizing linear elastic analysis. These criteria ensure that the containment system maintains its structural integrity under maximum design loads, preventing permanent distortion or instability that could compromise the safety of the fuel system.
