METHOD AND DEVICE FOR EVALUATING DAMAGE CAUSED BY SECONDARY STRESS TO VACUUM VESSEL, TERMINAL DEVICE, AND MEDIUM

Disclosed are a method and device for evaluating damage caused by secondary stress to a vacuum vessel, a terminal device, and a medium, to perform following steps: obtaining secondary stress of a vacuum vessel that passes a primary-stress failure evaluation; obtaining structural damage parameters of the vacuum vessel when determining, based on evaluation parameters for the primary-stress failure evaluation of the vacuum vessel and the obtained secondary stress, that the vacuum vessel meets a precondition for a progressive deformation; and determining, based on the obtained structural damage parameters, whether the vacuum vessel meeting the precondition for the progressive deformation experiences structural damage due to the progressive deformation. In this way, a vacuum vessel of a nuclear fusion reactor can be evaluated based on damage caused by the secondary stress.
