Mechanical Engineering	A new procurement strategy to challenge the supplier constraints created when using a fully developed reference design G. E. Howell , N. Baker , S. Davies , M. Garcia-fernandez , H. C. Huang , S. M. Scott , A. Walters , K. Zhou MEDSI2018 DOI: 10.18429/JACoW-MEDSI2018-THOPMA04 Open Access Show Abstract ▼ Abstract: A common procurement strategy is to produce a fully optimised reference design that makes assumptions about the manufacturing process and supplier capability. This approach can restrict the opportunities for some companies to include their own specialist manufacturing capability to provide a more effective and cost efficient solution. A new approach is suggested following the recent experience at Diamond Light Source. The manufacture of high stiffness welded fabrications up to 13m in length for the I21 RIXS Spectrometer is used as an example. The I21 RIXS Spectrometer design was optimised for stiffness and control of vibration. The use of Finite Element Analysis enabled different design options and compromises to be explored utilising the supplier's capabilities. The final design was tested during manufacture to verify the FEA model. With the I21 RIXS Spectrometer commissioned the data collected shows the final stability performance of the system including detector stability over full experiment durations has met the scientific goals of the design.

Electrical Engineering Mechanical Engineering	Design and FEA of an innovative rotating SiC filter for high-energy X-ray beam Walter Tizzano , Thomas Connolley , Steve Davies , Michael Drakopoulos , George Howell MEDSI 2018 DOI: 10.18429/JACoW-MEDSI2018-THOAMA04 Open Access Show Abstract ▼ Abstract: I12 is a high-energy imaging, diffraction and scattering beamline at Diamond. Its source is a superconducting wiggler with a power of approximately 9kW at 500 mA after the fixed front-end aperture; two permanent filters aim at reducing the power in photons below the operating range of the beamline of 50-150 keV, which accounts for about two-thirds of the total*. This paper focuses on the design and simulation process of the secondary permanent filter, a 4mm thick SiC disk. The first version of the filter was vulnerable to cracking due to thermally induced stress, so a new filter based on an innovative concept was proposed: a water-cooled shaft rotates, via a ceramic interface, the SiC disk; the disk operates up to 900 degrees C, and a copper absorber surrounding the filter dissipates the heat through radiation. We utilised analysis data following failure of an initial prototype to successfully model the heat flow using FEA. This model informed different iterations of the re-design of the assembly, addressing the issues identified. The operational temperature of the final product matches within a few degrees C the one predicted by the simulation.	Dec 2018
I12-JEEP: Joint Engineering, Environmental and Processing	I12: the Joint Engineering, Environment and Processing (JEEP) beamline at Diamond Light Source Michael Drakopoulos , Thomas Connolley , Christina Reinhard , Robert Atwood , Oxana Magdysyuk , Nghia Vo , Mike Hart , Leigh Connor , Bob Humphreys , George Howell , Steve Davies , Tim Hill , Guy Wilkin , Ulrik Pedersen , Andrew Foster , Nicoletta De Maio , Mark Basham , Fajin Yuan , Kaz Wanelik Journal Of Synchrotron Radiation 22 DOI: 10.1107/S1600577515003513 PMID: 25931103 Open Access Show Abstract ▼ Abstract: I12 is the Joint Engineering, Environmental and Processing (JEEP) beamline, constructed during Phase II of the Diamond Light Source. I12 is located on a short (5 m) straight section of the Diamond storage ring and uses a 4.2 T superconducting wiggler to provide polychromatic and monochromatic X-rays in the energy range 50150 keV. The beam energy enables good penetration through large or dense samples, combined with a large beam size (1 mrad horizontally x 0.3 mrad vertically). The beam characteristics permit the study of materials and processes inside environmental chambers without unacceptable attenuation of the beam and without the need to use sample sizes which are atypically small for the process under study. X-ray techniques available to users are radiography, tomography, energy-dispersive diffraction, monochromatic and white-beam two-dimensional diffraction/scattering and small-angle X-ray scattering. Since commencing operations in November 2009, I12 has established a broad user community in materials science and processing, chemical processing, biomedical engineering, civil engineering, environmental science, palaeontology and physics.
