The goal of the Wendelstein 7-X (W7-X) stellarator project is to demonstrate that this type of machine is a viable option for a fusion power-plant. At present the W7-X experiment is in the assembly phase at the Max-Planck-Institut for plasma physics in Greifswald, Germany. The reliable prediction of the structural behavior of the W7-X machine is only possible by employing complex finite element (FE)...
The Wendelstein 7-X stellarator is presently under construction at the Max-Planck-Institute for Plasma Physics in Greifswald with the goal to verify that a stellarator magnetic confinement concept is a viable option for a fusion power plant. The superconducting magnet system has to fulfill demanding requirements regarding magnetic field, loads, manufacturing and assembly. The magnet support system...
The attachment system of the Wendelstein 7X (W7-X) superconducting coils joins the coil casing support blocks to similar blocks on the main coil support structure using a high strength stud connection. The joint has to withstand the deadweight and the large electromagnetic loads from the coils; it is designed to comply with the large coil deformations during operation and works at 4 K at the allowable...
