Abstract
A method of quantitative finite-element verification of stability of design and technological solutions of new generation portable radiographic equipment to the factors of transport accident at the stage of automated design of mathematical solid model of the shutter-type radiation head using software packages: "ZENIT-95" and "LS-DYNA" is proposed for consideration. The need for virtual quantitative assessment of stability of developed gamma detector components to emergency transport conditions at the design stage is largely due to the need to reduce costs for full-scale prototyping of technical solutions and test emergency tests. At the same time, production of prototypes equipped with radionuclide emitters without substantiating confirmation of the consistency of design solutions to extreme transportation conditions is certainly risky. Minimization of risk of making incorrect technical decisions at the stage of designing of radiographic control facilities of new generation with confirmation of consistency of design solutions to conditions of emergency transportation can be provided with the use of systems of automated design in 3D format and program-calculating modules "LS-DYNA" and "ZENIT-95" by finite-element calculations method. The object of the quantitative analysis of stability of the main functional unit of portable gamma detector to the transport accident factors by the finite element calculations method is a mathematical solid model of the radiation head conditionally containing radionuclide radiator and virtually exposed to transport accident factors: fall from height onto a target; thermal effects of fire. The 3D model of the WG as the main functional part of the gamma detector represents a logically connected system of elements, the state of which can be described by a set of differential equations, the solution of which using digital technology determines the stresses, strains and zones of thermal effect, allowing a quantitative assessment of mechanical strength and thermal stability of the structural solutions of the product. The results of finite element analysis in the software package "LS-DYNA" with a quantitative assessment of structural and strength stability of the radiation head of a gamma detector when falling from height, as well as the results of stability to thermal influence by the example of a finite element model of the radiation head in the software package "ZENIT-95" are presented.
