Description

This paper presents the SPX1 project calculations, performed on 1/3 core with the aid of the series of 3D codes described in Session 2. The main criteria, related to contact forces, head bowings and handling forces, are fulfilled. Some parametric studies on the mechanical equilibrium are also presented. The main parameters are: the axial pad level, the subassembly stiffness and the pad local stiffness. (author)
