Abstract:

In order to ensure the normal operation of the low-background experimental chamber and prevent structural collapse, a structural safety analysis was conducted using Abaqus software. Initially, a simplified model of the experimental chamber was established based on the finite element method. This was followed by static load response analysis under extreme conditions, seismic load response simulations, and buckling analyses. Finally, the stress response and buckling critical loads of the oxygen-free copper sections with varying thicknesses were calculated to determine the permissible limit wall thickness of the experimental chamber. The results indicated that, under static pressure, the weakest regions of the chamber were the top of the oxygen-free copper section and the transition area of the circular end cap, with a critical buckling load of 0.307 MPa and a permissible limit wall thickness of 5.1 mm.

Key words: low background experimental cavity, structural safety analysis, earthquake response simulation, buckling analysis, limit wall thickness
