  1. Far Detector AssemblyBlock Pivot Table Design ReviewWBS 2.9.1.4 Dave Pushka April 2nd 2008

  2. Block Pivot Table Requirements • Provide a Horizontal Surface for Block Assembly • Move a Completed Block from the assembly area to its position on the detector • Rotate a Completed Block from a horizontal to a vertical position • Disengage from a Placed Block, Return to Assembly area and repeat. • Specifics are in NOvA note 113 version 5 from 7/2007 (new requirements included in version 6 are not addressed in this talk) Dave Pushka

  3. Block Pivot Design Status • Last Analysis Work Performed in late December 2007 • Big Picture Largely Complete, was working on details: • Pivot Bearing Support on Table and Vertical Side Support to ensure the bearing housing is sufficiently rigid. • Connection between pallet and table. • Reduce weight (cost) for the lower side support weldment. • Quantify lateral load capability for seismic criteria (UBC zone 0). • I have performed the analysis, images, and conclusions presented here unless otherwise noted.

  7. Block Pivot Table Design & Fabrication Process Steps • Write Requirements Document (Done and re-done, recent changes not incorporated in the design presented in this talk). • Develop Conceptual Design (Done). • Prepare Cost Estimate based on the conceptual design (Done). • Conduct Internal Review (This Review on April 2nd) • Perform Engineering analysis to size members and develop the final design. Generate engineering notes (In progress). Identify and correct any safety or performance hazards. • Prepare part fabrication drawings and perform the peer review of the engineering notes concurrently. (In process - usually performed by one person checking one engineering note). • Initiate independent review of the design (usually performed by a committee and involves presentations as well as the signed off fabrication drawings and checked engineering notes). Identify and correct any safety hazards. • Fabricate components (includes parts provided by outside vendors and in house shops) • Assemble components at FNAL to confirm proper fit up, test pivot operation with a section of the table, test horizontal drive operation. Test operating procedure. Identify and correct any safety or performance hazards. • Disassemble and ship components to far detector location • Re-assemble and test at far detector. Re-test operating procedure. Identify and correct any safety or performance hazards at the far detector location. Dave Pushka

  8. Component Analysis Status • Detector Assembly Table • Deflections when Vertical Due to Cantilevered Block using beam elements • Local Deflections when Horizontal due to uniform Pressure on Surface, several iterations performed (Wands, Lee, Pushka) using solids • Large Scale deflections modeled using beam elements (Pushka) and solid elements (Wands) • Upper Support Frames – Static loading Condition to calculate stress and deflections. Four iterations performed using solid elements. Present design is satisfactory but not as efficient as it could be. • Lower Support Frame – One condition, Static loading condition, using solid elements. • Pivot Cylinders – Loads as a function of extension completed included in TDR. • Kneeling Cylinders – Only one condition, Static loads determined • Horizontal Drive Elements – Required drive traction estimated, used to specify the hydraulic motor and urethane tire. • Rear Table Support – Hand calculations used to size members for static loading condition based on AISC 9th edition ASD • Pallet – Beam element analysis completed for local and large scale deflection (Pushka) , Repeated with solid elements for same conditions (Lee). • Rolling Elements – Hand calculations performed to size elements • Rail – matched to rolling elements • Internal Review Remains In Progress Today.

  10. Design Status of Key Components • All Key Components have been modeled. Geometry is understood. • All Key Components have been thru at least one analysis iteration. The Table and the Upper Supports have received multiple analysis iteration. Nearly all components have been shown to be suitable for the intended loads. Individual weldments are transportable by truck. • Engineering notes and Analysis note have been written. • Fabrication drawings have been started. Table Weldment fabrication drawings complete. • Cost estimates have been prepared. Weldment costs are estimated based on the present weights of the parts. Purchased components are based on budget pricing received from vendors. Dave Pushka

  11. Issues • Table Flatness and weld distortion: • I believe the weld distortions can be controlled to meet the flatness tolerance (3/8”) over the whole surface. Other people don’t. Until this is prototyped… • Why a plate structure? • If 60 inch deep wide flanges beams were commercially made, they would be used here. Deflection is inversely proportional to the depth, so for the same weight (cost), use a deep section to minimize deflection. Look at a steel highway overpass bridge girder. • Lateral Loads for the quasi-static dynamic loading, seismic criteria. • Calculations remain to be formally written. • Details of bearing pivot housing, cylinder connections, need additional analysis, including fatigue.

  12. Block Pivot Table Risks and Mitigations • Table Surface Not Flat Enough • Use self leveling epoxy grout to fill in the low areas. • Pivot Bearings Bind • Replace Bearings, Commercial, Off the shelf plain bearings • Hydraulic Cylinders Leak, • Replace Cylinder Seals – Standard Issue with Hydraulics • Rolling Elements Fail to Roll Properly • Replace Roller Elements and inspect rail surface • Rail Surface Wears Prematurely • Replace Rail Surface with properly hardened material • Hydraulic Drive Units Fail to Drive Satisfactorily • Replace Drive Units – Commercially produced and stocked unit • Hydraulic Power Unit Fails to Operate Properly • Replace Power Unit(s) – Packaged, off the shelf item Dave Pushka

  13.
