Description
In the context of the High Field Magnet project, the 12 T program aims to design and manufacture a 2‑meter, 12 T, cosθ, double aperture dipole. To reach magnetic fields higher than 10 T in accelerator magnets, brittle epoxy‑impregnated Nb3Sn Rutherford cables are employed, which makes it difficult to predict the coil's mechanical limit and, in extenso, the magnet's performance. To tackle this challenge, expensive procedures are often implemented.
The 12 T mechanical design aims to prioritize intrinsically safe structures and minimize the number of components. This approach is intended to counteract issues stemming from fabrication tolerances and assembly tool misalignment. To prevent coil over-compression, mechanical stoppers are integrated within the magnet structure. The design is committed to eliminating the need to employ solutions that work well on a short demonstrator but are difficult to scale to long magnets that need to be produced in series.
This paper reports on the results of finite element calculations for the proposed design, with an emphasis on stress management and an investigation into the correlation between component tolerances and the stresses on the coil.
