Research of Shear Force during Spent Fuel Reprocessing Shearing Process

The process of a power reactor spent fuel reprocessing pilot plant had been completed after many years of scientific research experiment and engineering construction, while the commissioning results indicated that some technological problems exist in a few key equipments, especially the shearing machine. As the main design basis it is needed to obtain accurate shear force so as to improve research of shearing machine. In this paper, shearing fracture process and shear force have been simulated in ABAQUS software, also a sample type of shear machine has been realize to do the shearing experiment. Through the study, simulation result is verified reliable comparing with the experimental data and the research method using computer simulation combined with experiment verification is significance to the research of spent fuel reprocessing.
