The analysis of bending processes in $Nb_{3}$ Sn Cable-in-Conduit Conductors
$Nb_{3}$ Sn 도관 케이블 도체의 굽힘변형 해석
Abstract
Cable-in-Conduit Conductors (CICC) have been used for fabrication of nuclear fusion magnets. Bending process is included in fabrication of superconducting magnet such as termination of conductors. Because of plastic deformation by bending process, there can be a large residual stress and change of shape in bent conductors. Void volume fraction in conductors is also changed by bending process. In this study, Commercial code was used to analyze the bending process at various bending curvature radius. The calculated residual stress of conductors bent at less than about 40cm curvature radius exceeded the allowable stress.
