Mechanical analysis for ITER upper ELM coil

Mechanical analysis for ITER Upper ELM coil is divided into two sections, in the 1
^st
one a FE model is built and the critical components like the conductor and jacket are analyzed, while the 2
^nd
part analytically checks the bolt strength with the load from the previous step. Three areas representing this effort are presented: electro-magnetic, hydraulic-thermal and mechanical analysis of upper ELM coil. Electro-magnetic analysis provides the ohmic heat and electromagnetic force for hydraulic thermal and mechanical analysis respectively. Hydraulic thermal analysis is performed to get the temperature distribution of the upper ELM coil for further mechanical analysis. Mechanical analysis aids in the design of upper ELM coil while quantifying the stresses and machine loads which can be used to verify the bolts with regard to ASME and machine design handbook.
