According to NEI 07-13 R8, in aircraft impact analysis for new plant design, global structural damage of the target structure can be evaluated analytically using one of the following methods of evaluation:
1) Force time-history analysis method. 2) Missile-target interaction analysis method.
It depends on the availability of data on the dynamic characteristics and the intended level of detail of analysis. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect on the analytical results of the aircraft impact analysis method. Several impact analyses using various method were performed for the simplified external SC wall of the APR+ nuclear power plant structure.
