Abstract:
The Materials Development Laboratory at Fermilab has been conducting experiments on the mechanical properties of superconducting coils. Two of these measurements were designed to measure the elastic modulus of actual SSC coils in an effort to increase the precision of previously reported data The first experiment utilizes a fixture redesigned for increased stiffness, in an attempt to reduce uncertainty in the data. As in the previous fixture of this type, the inner coil radius has been left unconstrained. The second fixture constrains the coil on all sides, allowing for the determination of the radial and azimuthal components of the cured coil modulus....
