Abstract
The authors provide a summary of the vacuum vessel structural analyses performed in support of the BPX (Burning Plasma Experiment) Conceptual Design Review held in March 1991. They present descriptions of the vessel finite element model and analysis results for the principal loadings associated with electromagnetic forces induced in the vessel walls by plasma disruptions. The structural analysis performed with the U6M model indicates that the BPX vessel is adequate, except for the need to provide minor reinforcement in various local areas Author(s) Dinkevich, S.
