Stress Analysis of a Tuner for an Electromagnetic Reverberation Chamber

Abstract

Structural analyses of a tuner for a large electromagnetic reverberation chamber are presented in this note. The analyses cover drive motor, highly stressed welds of the paddle assembly, torque in drive shafts, and weld fatigue life. The analyses have been conducted for normal operating conditions as well as for a variety of possible overload conditions. Recommendations for minor modifications are made, including the installation of a safety collar.
