Before continuing with Shell analysis… Advanced Analysis Overview • Sub-model • Fracture Calculation --- Linear Elastic Fracture Mechanics
Graded Approach Stress concentrations exhibited in routine analysis is expected to be resolved in the advanced analysis. Design Criteria Review of the MQXFA Magnets - April 2018 10
Grade III Sub-model • Sub-model will be performed when components exhibiting stress concentrations that cannot be readily resolved via routine mesh refinement studies in original routine model. • Sub-model is a separate model of the local region (area or volume) encompassing the stress concentration zone identified in the original model; • The fundamental basis is St. Venant’s principle: • if an actual distribution of forces is replaced by a statically equivalent system, the distribution of stress and strain is altered only near the regions of load application. • The sub-model boundary stresses must be compared with the original model stresses to verify that St. Venant’s principle is valid. 11
Sub-model - Validation on a simple test model Pa • In order to check if the cutting boundary is appropriate, the stress tensor on the cutting edges should meet the requirement: Cutting boundary L σij is the calculated stress tensor after refinement, and σB is the "Baseline" stress tensor from the original full model. L Lc L/Lc = 1. 45, Max( )=0. 015 L/Lc = 1. 1, Max( )=1. 2 σx σz σy xy 12
Sub-model---Validation Pa L Cutting boundary Lc L/Lc = 3, Max( ) < 1 E-3 L/Lc = 2. 15, Max( )=0. 003 σx σy σx σz σz xy σy xy 13

Determine the Most Conservative Crack Growth Direction • A systematic way to determine the most likely direction of a crack growth from a finite element solution: • Utilize sections through the point of the peak elastic stress, and normal to Max. principal stress. • In that plane, the crack will propagate in the most energetic direction (the direction of lowest stress gradient).
