Lorentz Forces Coil is pressed into support structure due to radial Lorentz force. Both the inner and outer solenoids are under net compression (on purpose to avoid local tensile stress). Formation of a gap would result in a larger compressive force in the support structure relative to the coil No gaps between coils and support structure Radial forces (MN) Axial forces (MN)
Mechanical Analysis of Six Different Scenarios Combined magnetic and mechanical calculations. Two bonding scenarios: fully bonded and frictionless contacts between coil windings and support structure. Six scenarios: Normal operation, misalignment along axial / off-axis orientations, rotational misalignment, and seismic activity along axial direction and off-axis directions. Modeling assumption: twin solenoid is hanging on inner support rings. 8
Von Mises Stress in the structure (case 1) Case 1. Gravity + Lorentz force (Normal operation) Fully bonded (frictionless) Coils: ≤ 80 (80) MPa Spokes: ≤ 90 (95) MPa Support structure: ≤ 75 (85) MPa 9
Von Mises Stress in the structure (case 2) Case 2. Gravity + Lorentz force + 20 mm axial misalignment ( 8 MN repulsion) Fully bonded (frictionless) Coils: ≤ 80 (80) MPa Spokes: ≤ 100 (105) MPa Support structure: ≤ 75 (85) MPa 10
Von Mises Stress in the structure (case 3) Case 3. Gravity + Lorentz force + 20 mm off-axis misalignment ( 4 MN repulsion) Fully bonded (frictionless) Coils: ≤ 80 (80) MPa Spokes: ≤ 90 (95) MPa Support structure: ≤ 75 (85) MPa 11
Von Mises Stress in the structure (case 4) Case 4. Gravity + Lorentz force + 2 degree rotation (1 GNm torque) Coils: ≤ 85 (85) MPa Spokes: ≤ 125 (100) MPa Support structure: ≤ 85 (100) MPa 12
Von Mises Stress in the structure (case 5) Case 5. Gravity + Lorentz force + Seismic along gravity direction (1.2g along off-axis direction) Coils: ≤ 80 (80) MPa Spokes: ≤ 70 (75) MPa Support structure: ≤ 75 (75) MPa 1g + 1.2g 13
Von Mises Stress in the structure (case 6) Case 6. Gravity + Lorentz force + Seismic activity (1.2g along axial direction) Both solenoids are supported by stops Coils: ≤ 80 (80) MPa Spokes: ≤ 90 (95) MPa Support structure: ≤ 75 (85) MPa 1.2g 14
Von Mises Stress - Summary Superconducting coils have to withstand 80 MPa. For example: ATLAS solenoid conductor yield strength at 4.2 K = 146 MPa. Forces on spokes and support structure depend on level of misalignment, but can all be handled safely considering realistic misalignments!

Conclusion Twin Solenoid Design The mechanical and thermal behaviour of the system is challenging but certainly doable. NbTi can be used as a superconducting material, but with limited temperature margin Direct cooling of conductor is preferable. Field integral at η = 0: 35 Tm inside the solenoid and 12 Tm in between the solenoids. 25
