Abstract :
Mechanical characteristics of the support system for the ATLAS (A Toroidal LHC Apparatus) central superconducting solenoid magnet have been investigated. The coil support system was designed with a unique triangular-shape configuration made of GFRP and with spherical bearings at the joints. A mechanical performance test has been carried out to simulate various operational conditions. This paper describes the mechanical design and test results
