Links to Design Review Presentations

Thermal and Magnetic Stress Fatigue Analysis:

The following links go to different options of viewing a slide presentation on the thermal and magnetic stress analysis of the horn for the Horn Review that was on February 7, 2000.

This presentation covers the research on fatigue and the finite element analysis that went into designing the horn to survive 200e6 current pulses. The first part of the presentation covers how the allowable stress in fatigue was determined.

Modal Analysis and Implications for Spider Design:

The following links go to different options of viewing a slide presentation on the modal and vibration analysis of the horn for the Horn Review that was on February 7, 2000.

This presentation covers the Fourier analysis of the MiniBooNE horn pulse structure, the finite element modal analysis of the horn, and the implications for design of the "spiders".
