E.m. forces and support structure E.m. forces in straight section directed outwardly – Max. “accumulated” stress of 100 MPa Horizontal bladders pressurized to 30 MPa – Insertion of a shim in hor. load keys of 0.6 mm Shell  from 65 (293 K) to 185 (4.2 K) MPa Axial force: 2.8 MN – LHC (8.3 T, 1 aperture): 0.25 MN – HQ (170 T/m): 0.8 MN Axial piston used to pre-load the rods – 60 mm diameter Rod  from 150 (293 K) to 260 (4.2 K) MPa 18/09/2012 Paolo Ferracin9

Coil stress 2D and 3D mechanical model Goal: contact pressure (or tension <20 MPa) between pole turn and pole pieces – From straight section to hard- way and easy-way bent Coil peak (equiv.) stress – MPa – Maximum stress moves to low field region at full field 18/09/2012 Paolo Ferracin MPa 134 MPa 154 MPa -139 MPa
