Electromagnetic load calculation of the ITER machine using a single finite element model including narrow slits of the in-vessel components

The dynamical mechanical properties of tungsten under compression at working temperature range of divertors

“…After analyzing the trend of stress-strain curves at various temperatures, the thermal softening exponent m can be fitted as a function of the current absolute temperature T, seen in Eq. (9). The new predicted stress-strain curves were drawn in Fig.…”

“…Most researchers utilized DINA to simulate the plasma in VDEs in order to calculating electromagnetic loads of the vacuum vessel and the in-vessel components. By using the same method but a new method to simplify modeling process, Sunil Pak et al have done much effective electromagnetic load calculation work on the ITER machine [9]. In their study on slow downward VDEs, it is indicated that the vertical forces exerted on the 20 sector of the divertor model get up to 5 MN from 0 MN in a linear way during about 400 ms, and decay to 0 MN in a negative exponent way during the following 700 ms.…”
