Description

The mechanical analysis of the Conceptual Design of the ITER TFMC led to identify some critical areas in the coil and in the structure. The Engineering Design incorporates a sliding surface in the coil joint area and profiled wedges in the structure to homogenize the stresses. When the LCT Coil is operated at full current, the current in the TFMC will be limited to 70 kA, in order to keep maximum stresses within acceptable limits. (author)
