Description

Numerical calculations of the mechanical stress and strain distribution were performed for the stellarator configurations WVII-X-1D and Helias-4-8. The amount of required structural material was investigated, in order to keep the stresses and strains inside the coils and the associated structure within technical limits. Force density is shown to be similar for all coil configurations studied, although the magnitude and direction of the net force of the coils vary considerably. Structural design suggestions are made
