• Purpose of analysis:To varify the adequacy of the vessel design and assure the design criteria are met.
• Method:Finite element analysis using MSC/Nastran, Static(sol 101), Buckling(sol 105).
• Assumptions:-Vessel & port configuration as of 10 April ‘04 Pro-E models.
-Material of shell & port nozzles and cover plates fabricated from Inconel 625 Annealed – Grade 1 sheet per ASTM B 443.
-Material properties (Linear elastic, isotropic material properties) taken from the Huntington Alloys International Inconel 625 product bulletin.
-Rigid vertical structural support to eliminate rigid body modes. (Elastic supports not yet included in the model)
-Preliminary static model loads assume isothermal, 1-g gravity, 1 Atmosphere external pressure @14.7psi.
-Disruption loads are derived from Spark ver.20b inductive solutions for a stationary center plasma and a plasma displaced 10 cm vertically up from its central equilbrium position.

Allowable Stresses For Inconel 625 – Section VIII, Division 1 - ASME BPVC
575 deg.F Bake-out
![Page 23: NCSX Vacuum Vessel](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56815156550346895dbf7908/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Status:
-The preliminary static runs for normal operations are completed.
-A run with the bakeout thermal distribution and one with the normal
operating temperature distribution are in work but not complete.
-Runs with disruption loads are not yet completed.
-A 360 degree model will be used to evaluate asymmetric loading conditions and
evaluate any global buckling conditions.
Conclusions:
-Stresses from the normal runs in the shell and ports are below the
allowable stress with the exception of the Port18 cantilevered loading requirement.
Recommend either thickening the turret wall and port nozzle to reduce stress at the
nozzle/port intersection and to reduce vertical deflections of the port, or implement
a radially compliant vertical nozzle support off the cryostat. Port15 also needs support.
-Shell displacements are generally low with the exception of the area between port2
and port9 which indicate a displacement of 0.125” total. Recommend thickening or reinforcing
the shell locally to reduce these deflections.
