Thermo-mechanical parametric studies of Fixed Mask 1 and Photon Shutter 2 for APS front ends

摘要

Fixed Mask 1 (FM1) and Photon Shutter 2 (PS2) are two of the critical elements on the front end of the beamlines at the Advanced Photon Source (APS) now under construction at Argonne National Laboratory (ANL). FMl and PS2 use an enhanced heat transfer tube developed at ANL. Due to a high localized thermal gradient on these components, inclined geometry is used in their design to spread the footprint of the x-ray beam. Complete closed form solutions for steady state conditions have been developed for the analyses of the thermal and thermo-mechanical behavior of FMl and PS2. A modified Manson-Coffin fatigue relation is proposed to predict the predict the thermal fatigue. The maximum temperatures and maximum effective stresses have been parametrically studied. Fatigue-failure life predictions are presented for the FM1 and PS2 designs.
