Abstract
In this study, the dynamic characteristics of a reactor coolant pump (RCP) which can be used for APR1400 nuclear power plant are investigated using an equivalent simplified solid model. An effective simplified solid mass model to preserve the behavior of the RCP is presented. The equivalent simplified solid model for the dynamic analysis is developed from the detailed FE model of RCP through iterative runs. The results show that the fundamental frequency of RCP resides around 11Hz in the bending mode.
