Abstract
The transportation of nuclear waste and new nuclear fuel is an important aspect in sustaining the generation of electricity by nuclear power. The design of packages that satisfy regulatory requirements for normal operating and accident conditions is a complex engineering challenge. The ancillary equipment used to constrain the packages to their conveyance, a tie down system, is part of a multicomponent system used to transport packages. Traditionally, the individual components of the transport system have been designed in isolation. This approach does not account for the interaction between components of the system such as the conveyance, tie down system and package. The current design process for tie down systems is well established but, due to its heuristic development, suffers from uncertainties over which loading conditions should be applied. This paper presents a method for collecting measured acceleration and strain data that can be used to derive customised load cases for the design of tie down sys...
