Firstly, fiberglass epoxy composite is chosen as con- struction material. The structural size of the torque tube is obtained by means of load analysis and theoretical calculation. Secondly, thermal leakage of the torque tube is calculated with both theo- retical method and 3D finite-element analysis （FEA）. According to the result of the thermal analysis and mechanical loads, the struc- tural stresses of the torque tube are also obtained by FEA method. Lastly, a low temperature test platform is developed to verify the strength and the thermal leakage of the torque tube. The results show that the maximal shear stress of the torque tube is 24.3 MPa and thermal leakage of torque tube is 10.5 W, which satisfy the design requirements of the HTS motor. The torque tube also works in good condition at full-power and full-torque testing of the motor. The design method is also applicable for other similar design of torque tube in other applications.展开更多

Experimental set-ups corresponding to the mathematicalmodel were designed and built for both tests above room temperature and at low temperatures. Afringe control technique was introduced for low temperature measurements to compensate rigid bodymovement. Thin sheet specimens of silicon and aluminum alloy (7075) were tested with the developedtechnique. The tested results are in good agreement with reported data and thus verify the validityof the developed technique. The thermal expansion coefficients of the tested materials ranged from2.5×10-6C-1 to 23.6×0-60C-1.展开更多
