About this Engineering article
Final structural and mechanical evaluation of the W7-X magnet support system by Jaksic, N; Simon-Weidner, J; Sapper, J is a Engineering article available to read on EtoBox.
The plasma fusion experiment WENDELSTEIN7-X (W7-X) of the stellarator family, which was developed at the Max-Planck-Institute for Plasmaphysik, is in the state of the final detail design. W7-X is planned for first operation in 2006. Currently the main components (coils, magnet support structure, vacuum vessel, ...) are ordered to be manufactured. This paper gives a summarization of the development of the magnet support structure during the last 10 years. Of course, the final design and its structural analyses are the main topic of the discussion. Finally, it is tried to summarize the cognitions won until now and based on this knowledge to give the recommendations for future activities.
It is typically read by researchers, students, and practitioners in Engineering.
