Abstract
The purpose of the mechanical calculation is to investigate stress and
safety factors in the lifting frame used to transport the
R.P.C. and M.D.T. chambers together into the ATLAS pit at CERN.
These lifting frames have to comply with the
CERN SAFETY CODE D1 (Rev.)
The numerical analysis was done by the
I-DEAS Finite Element Analysis software.

SUMMARY:
As one of the experiments, intergrated in de Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN near Geneva, the
ATLAS-detector will be operational in 2006.
The detector is assembled with several sub-experiments with characteristic unique subdetectors.
The Resistive Plate Counters (R.P.C.) and Monitored Dr)ift Tube muonchambers (M.D.T.) become as
a set transported together into the ATLAS-pit.
For the outer (96) R.P.C./M.D.Ts, it is planned to do this operation with a lifting device
This lifting device have to be according CERN safety code as noted in EDMS 335726 Rev. D1

There will occur 3 different loads on the frame: (See figure 1 and 2)
1. Compression forces (FH1 and FH2) in the hollow sections L= 2*L1= 4315 mm and
L=2*L2=2360 mm.
2. A bending moment (Mb1) will occur because of the weight of the hollow section.
3. A bending moment (Mb2) (Fh*a) will occur because of the distance from the chain
connection and gravity axis of both hollow sections.
NOTE: Because of the moments and compression force we have to check for BUCKLING-effects.

On top of the beam the maximum tension is : -9,9 -20,4 -3,5 = -33,8 N/mm2 (compressive stress)
On the bottom side the maximum tension is : +9,9 +20,4 -3,5 = +26,8 N/mm2 (tension stress)

In accordance with other lifting parts (chains, lifting belts, fittings etc., which have safety factors from
4 till 7 it would be desirable to have for the lifting frame a safety factor in this range.

On top of the beam the maximum tension is : -7,3 -9,1 -2,1 = -18,5 N/mm2 (compressive stress)

Note: This safety factor is a worst case scenario, because in real this tension is divided along the crosssection of the tube.
Another calculation using secans-formula gives a higher safety factor.
In spite of this we use a hollow section tube 80.80.5 for the lifting frame..
This is mainly given by beam geometry imperfections (f.i. straightness) , currency aspects, etc.
The tubes (part 02-drwg. AMP -AQ-01) are identical as those calculated above.
However, they are shorter and subject to lower forces, thus safer concerning (Euler)buckling.
A buckling calculation is not relevant in this case.
