Photoelastic analyses of stresses in toroidal magnetic field coils

Description: Several two-dimensional photoelastic stress analyses were made on models of circular and oval toroidal magnetic field coils for fusion reactors. The circumferential variation of each coil's in-plane magnetic force was simulated by applying different pressures to 16 segmented regions of the inner surface of the models. One special loading fixture was used for the model of each shape and size. Birefringence and isoclinic angles were measured in a transmission polariscope at selected points o… more

Photoelastic and analytical investigation of stress in toroidal magnetic field coils

Description: A series of two-dimensional photoelastic stress analyses on circular and oval toroidal magnetic field coils for fusion reactors were made. The circumferential variation of the coil's magnetic force was simulated by applying different pressures to sixteen segmented regions of the inner surface of the models. Isochromatics and isoclinics were measured at selected points on the loaded model in a transmission polariscope using a microphotometer. Separate principal stresses were obtained using the c… more

Tensile creep behavior and cyclic fatigue/creep interaction of hot- isostatically pressed Si sub 3 N sub 4

Description: Tensile creep data are reported for a high-performance grade of hot isostatically pressed Si{sub 3}N{sub 4} that is currently being investigated as a candidate material for advanced heat engine applications. Specimens were tested in pure uniaxial tension at temperatures ranging from 1200 to 1370{degree}C. Creep strain was measured with an optical strain extensometer until creep rupture occurred, in some cases for periods in excess of 2000 h. To study the effects of various preloading material h… more
