Summary

C. J. Densham (RAL),UKNF Meeting,January 2005.

Introduction

•The target is bombarded at up 50 Hz by a proton beam consisting of ~1ns long bunches in a pulse of a few micro-s length.

•The target material exposed to the beam will be ~ 20cm long and ~2cm in diameter.

•Energy density per pulse ~ 300 J/cc.

•Thermaly induced shock (stress) in target material (tantalum).

•Knowledge of material properties and stress effects: measurements and simulations!

NF R&D Proposal

Codes used for study of shock waves

• Specialist codes eg used by Fluid Gravity Engineering Limited – Arbitrary Lagrangian-Eulerian (ALE) codes (developed for military)

Developed for dynamic e.g. impact problems ALE not relevant? – Useful for large deformations where mesh would

become highly distorted Expensive and specialised

• LS-Dyna

Uses Explicit Time Integration (ALE method is included)

– suitable for dynamic e.g. Impact problems Should be similar to Fluid Gravity code

• ANSYS

Uses Implicit Time Integration Suitable for ‘Quasi static’ problems

Implicit vs Explicit Time Integration

Explicit Time Integration (used by LS Dyna)

•Central Difference method used

•Accelerations (and stresses) evaluated

• Accelerations -> velocities -> displacements

•Small time steps required to maintain stability

•Can solve non-linear problems for non-linear materials

•Best for dynamic problems

Implicit vs Explicit Time Integration

Implicit Time Integration (used by ANSYS) -

• Finite Element method used

• Average acceleration calculated

• Displacements evaluated

• Always stable – but small time steps needed to capture transient response

• Non-linear materials can be used to solve static problems

• Can solve non-linear (transient) problems…

• …but only for linear material properties

• Best for static or ‘quasi’ static problems

“Cylindrical bar 1cm in radius is heated instantaneously

Study by Alec Milne Fluid Gravity Engineering Limited

Alec Milne:“We find that these models predict there is the potential

for a problem […]. These results use 4 different material models. All of these show that the material expands and then oscillates about an equilibrium position. The oscillations damp down but the new equilibrium radius is 1.015cm. i.e. an irreversible expansion of 150 microns has taken place. The damping differs from model to model. The key point is all predict damage.”

ANSYS benchmark study: same conditions as Alec Milne/FGES study i.e.ΔT = 2000 K

The y axis is radial deflection (metres)

PART II LS-Dyna results

•General purpose explicit dynamic finite element program

•Used to solve highly nonlinear transient dynamics problems

Advanced material modeling capabilities

Robust for very large deformation analyses

• LS-Dyna solver

Fastest explicit solver in marketplace

More features than any other explicit code

Material model used in the analysis

•Temperature Dependent Bilinear Isotropic Model

'Classical' inelastic model

Nonlinear

– Uses 2 slopes (elastic, plastic) for representing of the stress-strain curve

– Inputs: density, Young's modulus, CTE, Poisson's ratio, temperature dependent yield stress, ...

•Element type: LS-Dyna Explicit Solid

First studies

•Because the target will be bombarded at up 50 Hz by a proton beam consisting of ~1ns long bunches in a pulse of a few micro-s length we have studied:

•The effect of having different number of bunches in a pulse;

• The effect of having longer bunches (2 or 3 ns);

• The effect of different length of a pulse.

Geometry: NF target

20cm

Boundary conditions: free

Uniform thermal load of 100K

(equivalent energy density of ~ 300 J/cc)

Tinitial = 2000K

Characteristic time = radius / speed of sound in the tantalum

BUT,

- At high temperatures material data is scarce…

- Hence, need for experiments to determine material model data (J.R.J. Bennett talk):

- Current pulse through wire (equivalent to ~ 300 J/cc);

- Use VISAR to measure surface velocity;

- Use results to 'extract' material properties at high temperatures...

- and test material 'strength' under extreme conditions....

Summary

• Results (NF):

•The effect of having different number of bunches (n) in a pulse: at the level of 10-20% when n=1 -> n=10

• The effect of having longer bunches (2 or 3 ns): No

• The effect of different length of a pulse: Yes

• Results (test, wire):

• Estimate of surface velocities needed for VISAR measurements
