  15. Summary • With symm PF curr, if adding radius rods, with or without diamonds doesn’t have much difference. And non-uniformly distributed diamonds will produce asym effect in 360 degrees in coil displacement and stress. • With asym PF curr, results are also similar. • So diamonds are not necessary with the presense of radius rods. • Radius rods have very high loads, about 70,000 lbs for symm PF curr and 82,500 lbs for asym PF curr.
