  1. NCSX Vacuum Vessel Stress Analysis Peer Review Fred Dahlgren 22 April 2004

  2. Purpose of analysis: To varify the adequacy of the vessel design and assure the design criteria are met. • Method: Finite element analysis using MSC/Nastran, Static(sol 101), Buckling(sol 105). • Assumptions: -Vessel & port configuration as of 10 April ‘04 Pro-E models. -Material of shell & port nozzles and cover plates fabricated from Inconel 625 Annealed – Grade 1 sheet per ASTM B 443. -Material properties (Linear elastic, isotropic material properties) taken from the Huntington Alloys International Inconel 625 product bulletin. -Rigid vertical structural support to eliminate rigid body modes. (Elastic supports not yet included in the model) -Preliminary static model loads assume isothermal, 1-g gravity, 1 Atmosphere external pressure @14.7psi. -Disruption loads are derived from Spark ver.20b inductive solutions for a stationary center plasma and a plasma displaced 10 cm vertically up from its central equilbrium position.

  3. Material Properties(@ 300 deg.C - 572 deg.F): -Youngs Modulus 28.1e6 psi -Shear Modulus 10.8e6 psi -Poissons’ Ratio 0.289 -Density 0.305 lbs/cu. in. -Coeff. of Thermal Exp. 7.3e-6 in./in.-deg.F • Material Properties (@ 20 deg.C – 70 deg.F): -Youngs Modulus 30.1e6 psi -Shear Modulus 11.8e6 psi -Poissons’ Ratio 0.278 -Density 0.305 lbs/cu. In. -Coeff. of Thermal Exp. 7.1e-6 in./in.-deg.F

  4. Values from Pro-E Model used Material Thicknesses for VV model ( inches): Shell 0.375 Port 2 0.125 Port 3 0.125 Port 4 0.500 Port 6 0.250 Port 7 0.125 Port 8 0.125 Port 9 0.125 Port 10 0.125 Port 11 0.125 Port 12 0.500 Port 15 0.125 RF-Turret 0.188* Port 17 0.125 Port 18 0.125 Main Flange Dimensions: 0.65 wide x 0.85 deep, 0.375 weld

  6. Run 120bbe3: 1 Atmosphere External Pressure Only DISPLACEMENTS FOR 1 ATMOSPHERE LOADING

  7. Peak Shell Displacement .125”

  8. Peak Tresca Stress @ Vertical Restraint 18 ksi

  9. Peak Tresca Stress @Outer Surface Z2 15.2 ksi

  10. Run 120bbe3: Tresca Stresses in the flange and weld areas are 1 to 7 ksi

  11. Added 3rd Rib .5 x 1” high Added 2 Ribs .5 x 1” high Attempts to stiffen the shell locally – not very effective

  12. Peak shell deflection 0.085 for 0.5” thk. Shell & 1 Atmosphere Load

  13. Run 120bbe3g – 1 Atmosphere External Pressure + 1g Gravity Loading

  14. Peak Stress @ turret/shell 20.9 ksi Stress @ Support 18.3 ksi Tresca Stress From 1 Atmosphere + Gravity Loading

  15. Run 120bbe3gf Cantilevered Loading Of Ports: A cantilevered load, at various port ends, was applied via a concentrated weight of 500lbs to simulate a 250lb load at the end of the port extension ( 2x length =2x load) * Actual port end deflection with the port extension will be higher (~4x for 2x length). Max. deflection* 1.26”

  16. 34.2ksi Tresca Stress Outer Surface Tresca Stress From 500lb Cantilevered Load on Port Ends

  17. Inner Surface Tresca Stress 46.8 ksi Due To 500lb Cantilevered Load @ port18/turret intersection

  18. Run 120bbegf-2 with turret wall 0.375” thick Tresca Stress reduced below 22ksi In the turret and weld region Stress & deflection still high in nozzle 27.3ksi - ~1” displacement @end Increase nozzle thickness to .188”?

  19. Run 120bbe3-buckle – Pre-load: 1 Atmosphere, Eigenvalue extraction method: Lanczos Buckling Eigenvalue = 12.99 - for 1 Atmosphere loading

  20. Allowable Stresses For Inconel 625 – Section VIII, Division 1 - ASME BPVC 575 deg.F Bake-out

  21. Status: -The preliminary static runs for normal operations are completed. -A run with the bakeout thermal distribution and one with the normal operating temperature distribution are in work but not complete. -Runs with disruption loads are not yet completed. -A 360 degree model will be used to evaluate asymmetric loading conditions and evaluate any global buckling conditions. Conclusions: -Stresses from the normal runs in the shell and ports are below the allowable stress with the exception of the Port18 cantilevered loading requirement. Recommend either thickening the turret wall and port nozzle to reduce stress at the nozzle/port intersection and to reduce vertical deflections of the port, or implement a radially compliant vertical nozzle support off the cryostat. Port15 also needs support. -Shell displacements are generally low with the exception of the area between port2 and port9 which indicate a displacement of 0.125” total. Recommend thickening or reinforcing the shell locally to reduce these deflections.
