A. Dallocchio - A. BertarelliWorkshop on Materials for Collimators and Beam Absorbers Introduction Thermally Induced Vibrations   The interaction between high energy particle beams and solids provokes, on the hit structure, a non-uniform temperature distribution that gives birth to thermal stresses and deformations.   In case of short beam pulses, a very fast heating process occurs: mass inertia cannot be neglected   Dynamic thermo-mechanical phenomena on structures having direct interaction with particle beams (beam targets, collimators and windows) can be usually included in the so called Thermally Induced Vibrations

A. Dallocchio - A. BertarelliWorkshop on Materials for Collimators and Beam Absorbers General Assumptions   Given that the time scale is of the order of nanosecond (1ns each bunch) heat conduction Fourier law is still holding. This should be true down to time scales of a few picoseconds.   Since stresses are well below the Elastic modulus, the hydrodynamic theory is not compulsory (no shock waves). It is possible to treat the problem following the rules of thermoelasticity: a FEM model with implicit scheme of integration can be used to simulate thermally induced vibrations.   A preliminary estimation is necessary in order to set the integration time step. Although the implicit method is intrinsically stable, the Courant principle of stability should be applied to avoid numerical damping (typical of implicit codes).

A. Dallocchio - A. BertarelliWorkshop on Materials for Collimators and Beam Absorbers Simple predictions Once expected temperature increase is know, simple formulas may be applied to predict plasticization … Assuming that no expansion at all occurs, we can simply evaluate compressive strains and linear elastic stresses … … maximum stress is well above the proportional limit of OFE-Copper (~50 MPa), hence, after the thermal shock, plastic strains will be remaining. Area where residual plastic strains are expected Permanent Deflection Mechanism Compressive residual strains on the 3-mm thick plate are eccentric with respect to the neutral axis of the metal support, leading to a permanent deflection, away from the beam axis.

A. Dallocchio - A. BertarelliWorkshop on Materials for Collimators and Beam Absorbers Conclusions   The Analytical method has proved very useful in anticipating and interpreting results of FEM simulations (frequencies, oscillation amplitude and modal shapes)   The problem can be solved in three steps: Transient thermal simulation allows to calculate temperature distribution as a function of time Dynamic structural analysis can be solved with nodal temperature T(x,y,z,t) applied as nodal load at different time steps Static structural analysis: on a long time scale, temperature gradients vanish and the system is in static equilibrium between plastic residual stresses and elastic forces.   Simulation results are in good agreement with experimental measurements. Differences found in oscillation amplitudes may be explained by the approximations of the FE model (no damping, friction coefficient, material properties…) and energy distribution input (FLUKA uncertainties). Also, uncertainties may be present in LDV measurements (problems with calibration factor? ).   An implicit FE model can been successfully used to study thermally-induced vibrations on the short time scale and predict residual deformations on the long time-scale.
