Integrity Evaluation of Compressor Bearing Under Blade Loss Event
A structural assessment was performed for the burner under seismic loading, initially for a local model including part of the membrane wall, and later extended to a full boiler model. The objective was to evaluate the dynamic structural behavior under earthquake excitation.
- Static preliminary analysis to evaluate self-weight and preload effects
- Modal analysis to identify natural vibration modes in the seismic frequency range
- Response spectrum analysis to estimate structural response under earthquake excitation
- Weld stress verification according to AD 2000 regulations
