Gravity sag of sandwich panel assemblies as applied to precision cathode strip chamber structural design
- Lawrence Livermore National Lab., CA (United States)
The relationship between gravity sag of a precision cathode strip chamber and its sandwich panel structural design is explored parametrically. An algorithm for estimating the dominant component of gravity sag is defined. Graphs of normalized gravity sag as a function of gap frame width and material, sandwich core edge filler width and material, panel skin thickness, gap height, and support location are calculated using the gravity sag algorithm. The structural importance of the sandwich-to-sandwich ``gap frame`` connection is explained.
