2. Summary
During the shipping of the cold mass, support used to hold up cold mass
Cold Mass supported at three locations
Support post held and isolated at the internal shipping frame
Cold mass has a mass of 15,590 kg
Load of 53,731 N at front and back posts
Load of 49,188 N at middle post
Post must survive 5G of acceleration
Does this value include any safety factors
Calculations include built in safety factors

3. 53,731 Vertical and Horizontal load, Scaled
Summary
M12 Bolt
Shear Limit = g
53,731 Vertical and Horizontal load, Scaled
M14 Bolt
Shear Limit = g
M10 Bolt
Shear Limit = g

4. Overdesigned Consideration
To determine the feasibility of the post to absorb the load, the post was overdesigned
Minimal amount of space available to absorb forces
Post thickened to fill in whole area

5. Simulation Setup Four simulations performed Vertical Load,
Horizontal and Vertical Load
At 1G, 3G, and 5G loads

8. 5G Loads

9. External Support
Some bolts may be used external of the support post to absorb the force of the movement
Assuming:
5G load
Weight of 21,234 kg
AISC calculations
ASD factor of 2
12 bolts to absorb load
3 locations
4 bolts per location
Minimum bolt diameter of 1.5 inches would be optimal
