Abstract
In coal boilers or in steel ladles, the refractory linings
anchored (or not) to the steel structure (casing) are submitted
to important thermal loading (heating and cooling) which
conducts to lining cracking (due to the difference between
the thermal expansion coefficients). In a first time a 3D
approach allows to analyse the problem at the anchor scale: a
smeared crack model allows to compute the damage in the
castable. But since a boiler contains thousand of anchors, it is
not possible to compute a complete structure with this model.
So, a second approach was developed with a two-layer shell
equivalent to the anchored lining and the casing. This model
was identified with an inverse method, using results from the
first approach and validated by a bending test performed on a refractory lining specimen. The damage computing of a structure shows that it is very important to take into account
the expansion joints.
