Abstract

The structural mechanics design involved in the Tokmak superconducting magnet system was detailed described in this chapter with mechanics engineering point of view. This chapter mainly used the asymptotic homogenization method to calculate the equivalent elastic properties of cable-in-conduit conductor (CICC) conductor in superconducting magnet system. The analysis is done in this chapter that can provide the necessary parameters for the mechanical calculation of the magnet structure and heat transfer analysis. What’s more, this chapter elaborates the structural design of superconducting magnet system of tokamak device, and gives the characteristics of stresses the system suffered during physical experiments and the criteria of mechanical calculations. Besides, the optimization of some structure is detailed analyzed in this part, such as the mechanical analysis of the insulation structure in magnet system.
