  1. Mechanics:
    1. Only SS is considered for mechanical components (Al introduces too much pre-stress during the cool-down)
    2. Glyn says that we have measured contraction coefficient for HTS tapes
    3. 3 steps of simulation: bolt pretension, cool-down, powering
    4. Jumps modelling à effectiveness is measured on displacements (knife movements)
    5. If we pin, we have more stress concentration, but not to dangerous à depends on the assembly procedure
    6. Impregnation à friction coefficient. Has been measured? Maybe Christian Shoerlien got something
    7. Pole: with pole lower mean, higher peak. Interesting to check the detach and the pressure on the coils
    8. Jumps: 2 pairs of jumps analysed. Local stress are induced to Lorentz forces.  Configuration v2 seems much better and v1. We should check bonded model and check the contacts and check compression/tension on several point on the contact surface. We should avoid spaces where the tape/spacers can move. Filler, maybe g10 can be used
    9. Sensitivity study: thermal contraction has a strong impact on the stresses à experimental measurement of CTE for impregnated stack
    10. How to put the external belt. It will be difficult to use a single piece. On CLAS torus they used bladder between external coil and external ring. We need few tenths of mm as gap to put filler (STD101G with glass fiber).

 

  1. Impregnation à
    1. Luca found papers that state that the crack of the resin bring a crack on the tape. We need to avoid crack in the resin and separate tapes from the resin
    2. Design of the mold started and check if we can do mechanical test with it

 

 

  1. Winding machine à progressing. Actually ready 3 spools ready at 100%. Labview interface ready, but calibration is still required.

 

  1. Raw material à buy material after iteration with Nicolas. Finalizing the mechanics with Jerome, checking the drawings with Diego and Tuukka.
There are minutes attached to this event. Show them.
