mockup discussion

Europe/Zurich

 

Fuji papers

 

  • We should aim to use the fuji in each location (MP, Pole, outer radius, and between layers, even if shear could most probably invalidate the last two readings)
  • In the AL mock-up, both in the one with merged inner and outer layers, all soft layers will be included in the Al body. In the location where fuji papers will be applied, a stainless steel shim will be placed and it will be swapped with fuji based on the goal of the measurement

 

Strain gauges

 

  • Strain gauges will be applied in the inner radius as was done in the 11T collaring campaign
  • Concerning the strain gauges to be applied at the pole level, multiple solutions have been discussed, namely
    • Increasing the thickness of the outer layer loading plate, to use it as a uniform surface for strain measurements
    • Employing strain gauges only in the outer radius, benchmark them with DIC as a double validation of the DIC reading on the inner layer
    • Apply the strain gauges in the inner layer on the Cu wedge

 

Collaring tool

 

  • The top tool's thickness will be the same as that of the 11T collaring campaign, and it will be clamped to the top compressive plate of the UTM.
  • The bottom tool will be aligned to the center of the UTM on the bottom plate, and will be glued to it for the full duration of the testing campaign.
  • For the use in 927, the collaring tool will be stiffer
  • The collaring tool should not exceed the mockup's length by more than a few centimeters per side, as it would invalidate DIC readings.

 

Collars

 

  • The "horns" will be raised, and some iron will be shaved off where it will most probably saturate.
  • The "nipples" will be switched with a 0.2mm washer.
  • Available lifting tools will be checked and adapted accordingly.
