Cornell is building a next generation, space-frame, endplate for LP2.
It is interchangeable with the LP1 endplate delivered in 2008.

Several studies have preceded this design.
2010-11-11 FEA of ILD equivalent plate design
radius 1.8m, thickness 100mm, material 6% X0
support at inner and outer field cages deflection = 0.22mm for 2.1 mBar

Study of space-frame solid model predicts favorable rigidity/material.
Measurements of existing endplate validate the FEA.

Sections of the LP2 endplate were constructed and measured,
validating the FEA and
demonstrating the equivalence of the “equivalent plate” design.

bolt-on interchangeability with the LP1 endplateAccepts current Field Cage Termination.Accepts current Module Backframes.
Does not have “fun holes”; must use the mounting holes to the field cage.

The LP2 endplate accepts LP1 2008 Module Backframes.
Revised Mounting Brackets are being manufactured to adapt to the LP2 endplate.
Clearance around the strut mounts is required.
Lightened Module Backframes have about 50% mass and provide more access to the back of the pad board.
These require a different Mounting Bracket.

Assembly will require a flat plate (shown) and positioning fixtures.These are in-design, and will go into manufacture in about 2 weeks.

All parts are expected to be completed by the end of August 2011.
Construction may be completed by the end of October 2011.

Previous FEA studies concentrated on longitudinal rigidity.
This does not directly address our concerns.
More important is the accuracy and stability of the mounting locations.
One of the endplates will be kept at Cornell for further testing.
In particular, I am interested in transverse rigidity and long term stability and if transverse strain will result in deformations at other locations.
Future FEA will investigate issues related to larger modules.

Personnel and Funds
Equipment funds no new funds, I am not saying how much is left.
We are currently requesting another extension beyond July 31.
Salary Funds expected 3rd year, starting August 31, 2011, ~30-40%
The annual report is accepted (Tuesday); new funds are “pending”.
