Finite Element Analysis of IH Module
The purpose of this work is to find the stresses and deflections in the major structural components of a proposed inner hadronic (IH) module. The module uses a small diameter (nominally 3 inch i.d.) inner tube with 1/8 in wall thickness which supports 38 tons of calorimetric instrumentation both when the module is lifted by one endplate, as required for installation into the EC cryostat, and when the module is in its operational orientation. In addition to this loading, the assembly procedure includes an axial preloading which will produce a force equivalent to a uniform pressure of 20 psi on the module endplates. It is important to understand the module stresses under these loads. This work is primarily to establish the feasibility of the proposed design, and does not consider weld design, tolerances, and other important design details.
