Abstract :
Several designs for the Superconducting Super Collider dipole magnet have been analyzed. The mechanical and electromagnetic features of each design is discussed. Electromagnetic and mechanical analyses were performed using hand, computer programs, and finite-element techniques to evaluate the design. It was found that a substantial increment of stresses in the end skin occurs if the end yoke is not welded to the skin. The magnitude of friction coefficients has a negligible effect on the skin stress. The margins of safety are 1.17 for a design using an end skin with a welded end yoke and 0.51 for a design using end skin lap-jointed to the end yoke
