Finite Element Analysis of Unanchored Structures Subjected to Seismic Excitation

The objective of this analysis is threefold: (1) to determine the residual stress distribution in two unanchored structures, the waste package and drip shield, subjected to seismic excitation; (2) to estimate the extent and spatial distribution of the area of the two structures for which the residual first principal stress exceeds certain limits; (3) to determine whether or not separation of interlocking drip shield segments occurs during the vibratory ground motion.
