Recommendations for Improved Welding Procedures for Thick Steel Plates Through Thermo-Mechanical Analysis

Dimitrios Lignos

Welding of steel plates is accompanied by residual stresses that increase as the constraint provided by the welded components becomes greater. Consequently, crack initiation has been reported after welding thick plates due to the high residual stresses dev ...

Millimeter-wave beam scattering by edge-plasma density fluctuations in TCV

Timothy Goodman, Ivo Furno, Paolo Ricci, Stefano Alberti, Benoît Labit, Marcelo Baquero Ruiz, Fabio Riva, Oulfa Chellaï

In magnetically confined fusion devices, the use of millimeter waves (mmw) at the electron cyclotron (EC) frequencies ranges from plasma diagnostics to plasma heating, current drive and core confinement preservation. For large tokamaks such as ITER, numeri ...

Determination of the Fast-Ion Phase-Space Coverage for the FILD Spatial Array of the ASDEX Upgrade Tokamak

Lorenzo Stipani

The fast-ion phase-space coverage of the ASDEX Upgrade Fast-Ion Loss Detectors (FILD) has been estimated and the results are presented here. To that end, a numerical tool has been developed to determine particle orbits that can be accepted by each detector ...

Dependence of density fluctuations on shape and collisionality in positive- and negative-triangularity tokamak plasmas

Stefano Coda, Zhouji Huang

The effects of plasma shaping, in particular of the triangularity delta, on plasma turbulence, in terms of relative density fluctuations, have been studied in the TCV tokamak. It has been found that for inner wall limited L-mode plasmas, negative triangula ...

PLASMA SHAPE AND FUELING DEPENDENCE ON THE SMALL ELMS REGIME IN TCV AND AUG

Benoît Labit, Antoine Pierre Emmanuel Alexis Merle, Umar Sheikh, Pedro Andres Molina Cabrera, Roberto Maurizio

A series of experiments has been conducted at AUG and TCV to disentangle the role of fueling, plasma triangularity and closeness to a double null (DN) configuration for the onset of the small ELM regime. At AUG, the role of the SOL density has been revisit ...

On the Prediction of Hot Tearing in Al-to-Steel Welding by Friction Melt Bonding

Jean-Marie Drezet

Aluminum alloy AA6061 was welded to dual-phase steel 980 (DP980) by the friction melt bonding (FMB) process. Hot tears have been suppressed by controlling the thermomechanical cycle. In particular, the welding speed and the thermal conductivity of the back ...

Fatigue Strength Upgrading of Cover Plate Ends by Welded Extensions in Existing Steel Bridge Girders

Alain Nussbaumer, Dimitrios Lignos, Vasileios Grigoriou

This paper investigates the fatigue upgrading of typical cover plate joint connections in existing steel bridge girders through cover plate extension. The upgraded detail is created by removing the existing transverse end weld, then welding the extension t ...

Modelling of JET DT experiments in ILW configurations

Numerical scan at constant shows that core and scrape-off layer (SOL) radiations do not depend on the plasma current (I-p). Whereas the SOL radiation increases with seeding, the core radiation, however, does not continue to increase with seeding but rolls ...
