This report presents the measured elastic-plastic-creep responses of eight simply supported type 304 stainless stee". beans and circular plates that were subjected to time-vary : \g loadings at elevated temperature. The tests were penc ... J to provide experimental benchmark problem data suitable for assessing inelastic analysis me*hods and for validating com puter programs. Beams and plates exhibit the essential fea tures of inelastic structural behavior; yet they are relatively simple and the experimental results are generally easy to interpret. The stress fields are largely uniaxial in beams, while multiaxial effects are introduced in plates. The speci mens tested were laterally loaded at the center and subjected to either a prescribed load or a center deflection history. The specimens were machined from a common well-characterized heat of material, and all the tests were performed at a tempera ture of 593°C (1100°F). Test results are presented in ternr of the load and center deflection behaviors, which typify the overall structural behavior. Additional deflection data, as well as strain gage results and mechanical properties data for the beam and plate naterial, are provided in the appendices. Each test consisted of four phases, except that beams B9 and B7 and plates CP5 and CP4 were not subjected to precreep cycling.

CONF-870901-13 D238 002783 A batract The Large Coil Task (LCT) it an international collaboration of the United States, EUR ATOM, Japan, and Switxerland to develop large superconducting magnets for fusion reactors. The testing phase of LCT was completed on September 3,1987. All six coils exceeded the design goals, both as single coils and in six-coil toroidal tests. In addition, a symmetric torus test was performed in which a maximum field of 'i T was reached in all coils simultaneously. These are by far the largest magnets (either in sise, weight, or stored energy) ever to achieve such a field.

The international Large Coil Task (LCT) has designed, built, and is testing six different toroidal field coils. Each has a 2.5-x 3.5-n D-shaped bore, a current between 10 and 18 kA, and is designed for •
