Clamping force vs. Tightening torque TIGHTENING TORQUE (Ma) CLAMPING FORCE (Fv) Ma [Nmm] = Fv ·(0. 159·P + 0. 578·d₂·µg + 0. 5·d. Km·µk) = ~ 3·Fv [N] M 16 • P = thread pitch (2 mm) • d 2 = thread diameter (16 mm) • µg = friction coefficient of the thread (0. 15) • d. Km = average diameter of the bolt head (22. 16 mm) • µk = friction coefficient of the bolt head (0. 15) dkm 9

FEA Aim 1. Calculate the axial force necessary to hold the assembly on the tooling during the EBW process 2. Calculate the deformation involved in the process Hypothesis The problem is considered as a static structural and no dynamical effects were taken into account (e. g. rotational speed 0. 004 rad/s) Model and initial clamping force range for further studies Maximum 50 k. N Minimum 0. 3 k. N FE-model including: -All copper parts (Cu-OFE) of PETS -St. Steel PETS flanges, minitank and tooling The initial gap of 50 µm is reduced to zero. High deformations of minitanks occur. Friction forces between adapter disks and mock-up bars are lower than mock-up bars weight (the contact is not in the designed area)
Loading & Boundary Conditions Clamping force 1 st position 2 nd position Bearing condition -The selected ball bearing allows 10 (0. 17°) of rotation -Rotation due to gravity is allowed -Translation d. o. f. is fixed Gravity Fixed (Motor chuck) Fixed Gravity
Results – Axial force of 1 k. N Δgap max 1 µm Δdeflection 10. 5 µm
Results – Axial force of 2. 5 k. N Δgap max 2 µm Max. Stress 3 MPa Δdeflection 10. 8 µm
Conclusions ü On the basis of FEA performed, the selected clamping force is 2. 5 k. N, which corresponds to a tightening torque of 7. 5 Nm ü According to the results, the reduction of initial flanges gap (50 µm) due to the applied load is negligible. ü The results show that larger clamping forces do not have significant influence on the transversal deflection of PETS. Anyway, this elastic deflection will be completely recovered once the structure is supported on the designed supports for TM 0. ü The highest stresses occur around the contact area close to the edge inside the adapter disk. For a clamping force of 2. 5 k. N the maximum value is less than 3 MPa (σY = 69 MPa)

FEA ü A static thermal and structural analysis with a temperature variation from 20 °C to 1020 °C was carried out for the accelerating structure ü The thermal expansion is constrained only by the springs, which are situated on the opposite sides of the fixed lateral support ü All the connections were considered ideally frictionless to reduce the computational time Tooling for the 1 st brazing step Free surfaces constrained by the springs Fixed surfaces connected to the lateral support (without springs) For the springs a constant stiffness of 20 N/mm was used Supported on the ground

Results – stresses Max. 0. 1 MPa Stress due to thermal expansion
Conclusion ü On the basis of the FEA the displacements and the stresses due to thermal expansion have been calculated ü The transversal displacement of the manifolds is approximately 5 mm ü The axial displacement of the whole structure is approximately 5 mm ü During the brazing process the calculated stresses are below the copper yield strength at 1020 °C (σY = 7. 5 MPa) Future work - Transient thermal analysis to model the temperature history Thermal and structural simulations for the brazing of 4 AS Structural analysis for the AS intermediate EBW tooling
