Measurements of US stave using ESPI and capacitive sensors
30th August 2012
• Three main tests carried out:
1. Vibrational modes (ESPI)2. Cool down measurements Z direction (Capacitive sensors)3. Cool down measurements X direction (Capacitive sensors)

Conclusion: In the Z direction during cool down the whole stave is moving away from the sensors and it is also tilting more along the top edge. It is tending to tilt more along the right hand side than the left hand side.
In order to counteract the movement of the right hand side of the stave in Z direction, blocks were used to minimise the amount of movement allowed, free movement in X direction maintained.

Provisional Conclusions
1. Normal modes don’t exhibit nodes at bracket locations.
2. Stave movement highly dependent on end supports.
