Abstract
Abstract The DPP-2 shipping package (DPP-2) has been under development by the Y-12 National Security Complex (Y-12), Oak Ridge, TN. The Transportation Technologies Group (TTG) of Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), at the request of the Y-12, performed physical testing of the DPP-2 as part of Y-12's effort to obtain US Department of Energy (DOE) Type B certification for this package. The certification testing included sequential drop and crush testing of several prototype units in many different orientations. Structural finite element analysis (FEA) was a heavily relied upon tool used during the design, development and certification of the DPP-2. Initially, FEA was used to rule out various design concepts. Once a more mature design had been arrived at, FEA was employed to determine testing orientations which would create maximum damage to the test units. Finally, FEA has been employed to answer certification reviewers' questions regarding items not explicitly covered by physical testing. Because current...
