4. Update of thermomechanical study of the horn – beam power 1.3 MW
Themomechanical results were presented during the annual meeting in Strasbourg. This is a nonlinear analysis and the results do not scale with the beam power. Some new results are discussed for the beam power of 1.3 MW.
Temperature distribution in the horn for the specified energy deposition. The case of one horn with 1.3 MW beam power.
Maximum temperature 350 K should be acceptable.

7. Coupled magneto-solid analysis of a simplified plane model of the horn
Assumption – cylindrical geometry with infinite length along the axis (plane-strain assumption)
Previous study used the analytically calculated magnetic field and the analytical expression for the magnetic pressure (which is only valid for a simplified geometry) X Y Z

8. Coupled magneto-solid analysis of a simplified model of the horn
Plane model of the horn:
300 kA current flows in the positive axial direction in the inner conductor and returns through the outer conductor.

9. Results of static analysis
Magnetic flux vs. radius. Good agreement with analytical solution, but additional accuracy studies are needed.

10. EUROnu WP2 Cracow meeting, 14.10.2010
Hoop and axial stress vs. radius, respectivelly in the inner and outer conductor. The higher absolute value corresponds to the hoop stress.
Inner conductor is in compression (maximum hoop stress about 7 MPa).

11. Response to a single current pulse – coupled magneto-solid results
Dynamic stress due to a rectangular current pulse of magnitude 300 kA and 100 s duration:
On the inner conductor: 10 MPa
On the outer conductor: 2.5 MPa
The stress levels calculated using the coupled-field analysis are very comparable to those obtained with the magnetic pressure method.

12. 3D model of the horn used in the magneto- solid analysis
Coupled magneto-solid analysis is more versatile as it is capable of handling complex geometries.

13. New horn geometry as proposed by C. Bobeth
The thermo- and magneto-mechanical studies have been initiated for this new geometry. Especially the non-linear analysis of the cooling system requires considerable effort.

14. Status of the report in Krakow (P.Cupiał and A. Wróblewski)
The results are available for the (old?) baseline geometry. The thermomechanical study using the new geometry has just started.
Sections almost finished on: horn cooling; thermo- and magneto-mechanical dynamic analysis. The description is for the baseline geometry and 1.3 MW beam power with the graphite target.
Section still under development: horn and target integration conceptual drawings.
For future work: should the design with AlBeMet target be considered from the mechanical point of view?
