Effect Of Moisture Absorption On The Sinter Quality Of Central Solenoid (Cs) Coil Pack, Zeshaan Sher Mohammed
Effect Of Moisture Absorption On The Sinter Quality Of Central Solenoid (Cs) Coil Pack, Zeshaan Sher Mohammed
Masters Theses
Fusion energy has been said to be the solution to all the world’s energy problems. The International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) is the flagship project to demonstrate the feasibility of fusion energy. The Central Solenoid (CS), an important component of the reactor, is needed to induce plasma current, initiate, ramp-up, ramp-down, and sustain plasma in a very controlled manner. In order to achieve this, the CS coil packs must be manufactured under controlled conditions. The CS conductor is an advanced cable-in-conduit Nb3Sn superconductor. The CS cable will be made in long continuous sections but with thousands of meter of cable …
A Concise Model Of 3x7 Wire Rope Used In Cable Guardrail Systems, Cody S. Stolle
A Concise Model Of 3x7 Wire Rope Used In Cable Guardrail Systems, Cody S. Stolle
Department of Mechanical and Materials Engineering: Dissertations, Theses, and Student Research
Wire rope is a versatile, flexible, high-strength member that is used in many mechanical systems. However, due to the complexity of wire rope, analytical investigations have been relatively limited. Previous attempts to create simplified models of wire rope were not validated with physical testing and used a cumbersome beam-and-shell or beam-and-solid method for simulating the wire rope. An improved LS-DYNA model of 19-mm diameter 3x7 wire rope commonly used in roadside cable guardrail installations has been developed. A Belytschko-Schwer beam element was selected along with material *MAT_166. Since wire rope displays internal damping due to friction of strands and wires, …
Shear Testing Of 28 Mm Hollow Strand "Tg" Cable Bolt, Peter Craig, Najdat I. Aziz
Shear Testing Of 28 Mm Hollow Strand "Tg" Cable Bolt, Peter Craig, Najdat I. Aziz
Faculty of Engineering - Papers (Archive)
Cable bolts were introduced to the coal mining industry in the early 1980’s mainly for roadway reinforcement as a secondary means of support. Their application is dictated by the nature of the stratification, ground stress conditions and the size of the opening. Double shearing tests were carried out on the 28 mm hollow strand Jennmar “TG” cable bolt, two tests were conducted to evaluate the shearing characteristics of the bolt and to gain a better understanding of the shearing behaviour of the cable. The first test was limited by a 50 mm travel on the testing machine and produced a …
