Results of Eddy Current Analysis Of the DCLL TBM June 23, 2005 M. Ulrickson Presented on the TBM Conference Call Sandia is a multiprogram laboratory operated by Sandia Corporation, a Lockheed Martin Company,for the United States Department of Energy’s National Nuclear Security Administration under contract DE-AC04-94AL85000.
Summary • There is a considerable torque about the center of the TBM • There is a large twisting force trying to make a propeller blade • The grids and the back plate have the greatest forces • Forces are in the range of 100-1000 MN
Background Info • Time slice shown is at the time of maximum eddy current (20 ms into a 40 ms linear decay) • The units on the plots are force density (N/mm3) • The force pattern is very complex and must be input into a finite element program to calculate stresses and loads. • A fully time dependent calculation will have to be done eventually.
