THE ABSTRACT

It is possible to forecast a behavior of cathode construction in operation by computer modeling. Computer modeling permits to determine metal construction design data of iron casing and lining and conditions of cell burning and operation.

Strengthening calculation at given working load shows a high share of the plastic deformation regions for side sheet and bearing ribs, This conclusion is in accordance with calculation by ascertain more exactly method when loading quantity is determined during the process of calculation. For strengthening elements of end face the pared-down calculation results in understated values.
