Conceptual Simulation for baseline support To understand how the baseline supporting system behaves Risto Nousiainen, CERN BE-RF – Helsinki Institute of Physics – VTT 28/02/2021
Baseline support simulation “Supporting point of view” • How does a snake behave ? – a modal analysis might bring insight how the supports tend to move in time domain • 1 st approach, a shell element model – Computation is light, but idealization heavy • Baseline materials Risto Nousiainen, CERN BE-RF – Helsinki Institute of Physics – VTT 28/02/2021
Idealisation All structural parts are bonded with line-line contacts (to sustain linear model) “Supporting point of view” Linear rod modeling: With “spring” idealisation Normal stiffness = EA/L One of the heaviest idealisations apart from the use of shell elements for relatively thick shells Support rods Φ 60 mm (steel) Linkage rods Φ 30 mm (steel) Risto Nousiainen, CERN BE-RF – Helsinki Institute of Physics – VTT 28/02/2021
Boundary conditions Meshing SHELL 181 Gravity is the only loading condition Large wall thicknesses. . . Element is optimal for thin or moderate Shell thickness… Fixed to ground Risto Nousiainen, CERN BE-RF – Helsinki Institute of Physics – VTT But results provide good insight on the overall behavior 28/02/2021
Results Structural – 10 µm 2 nd Mode Raises question if the stiffness decays when increasing number of girders Perhaps not yet a correct shape due to idealisation Modes’ Hz values not relevant in this simulation 1 st Mode Lateral stiffness will be an important issue Risto Nousiainen, CERN BE-RF – Helsinki Institute of Physics – VTT 28/02/2021
Conceptual simulation on AS structure’s thermomechanical behavior To understand better how the baseline AS fiducialisation behaves Risto Nousiainen, CERN BE-RF – Helsinki Institute of Physics – VTT 28/02/2021
Introduction • Background • We have a baseline for the installation and building up of the alignment references for pre-alignment before the operation of accelerator • Behavior of the AS has been estimated via FE Analyses in steady state conditions during operation • Question? • What happens between pre-alignment and operation during conditioning, when the temperature of the supports increases roughly by 5 -10 °C? • Objective • On what level do pre-alignment references sustain accuracy with regards to accelerating structures? Risto Nousiainen, CERN BE-RF – Helsinki Institute of Physics – VTT 28/02/2021
MB RF structure support • Accelerating structure, support and alignment references need to be integrated in the simulation Module design FE idealisation V-Support Girder is omitted in the simulation Models have same dimensions Risto Nousiainen, CERN BE-RF – Helsinki Institute of Physics – VTT 2 D - simulation 28/02/2021

Highlighted topics for the RF structure supporting system Keypoints being looked at momentarily relating to supporting system Risto Nousiainen, CERN BE-RF – Helsinki Institute of Physics – VTT 28/02/2021
Highlighted topics • Cradle connection, pre-alignment system and the linkage of fiducialisation to supporting system – H. Mainaud-Durand • Beam parameters of drive beam require continuous contact through the beam interconnections. Drive beam line interconnections - C. Carion • Accelerating structure support is exposed to high temperature variations while the position of the beam line should be sustained within few µm and the sufficient stiffness of the supports should be maintained regardless to many integration constraints (such as vacuum) • Girder material affects the concept of RF structure fidusialisation through thermal behavior and flexibility of production methods. Also girder design shall provide sufficient interfaces for items such as alignment, installation and fiducialisation equipment – N. Gazis • Supporting system for special type modules • Overall weight of the RF structure support + RF network including girder has an upper limit due to linear movers Risto Nousiainen, CERN BE-RF – Helsinki Institute of Physics – VTT 28/02/2021

Snake support, bearing contacts + relaxed weight limit - Clearances in the bearings - Line or point contacts (? ) àReduces stiffness In ro p l a iti s n & co s + Shorter “lever arms” because of smaller radius of bearings (compared to linking rods) - Eventually hard to totally avoid sliding friction Contact surface sphere Risto Nousiainen, CERN BE-RF – Helsinki Institute of Physics – VTT 28/02/2021
Alternative supports • Electronically controlled snake – – Each girder sits on its own support Support positions free in longitudinal direction Continuity of beam line provided by reference measurements More data acquisition but girder length could be extended. ! DB continuity + no such weight limit ! Clearances in the bearings + longer girder ?
