This study presents a series of Finite Element Analysis (FEA) runs conducted on Shell Type A, exploring the effects of varying the Elastic Modulus (E) and thickness ratios. The initial run established E at 193 GPa, with subsequent modifications examining different thickness ratios leading to E values of 152 GPa, 111 GPa, 124 GPa, and 137 GPa. Stress plots for each run illustrate the response of Shell A under different conditions, highlighting key differences in behavior between thin wall regions and the rest of the shell. All findings contribute to understanding the mechanical performance of modular coil systems.

FEA Studies for the Shell A Thin Wall Region: • Run #1: Original run having E=193 GPa • Run #2: Modify E of shell A by a thickness ratio of 1.18/1.5. The E of shell A become 152 GPa. (Note: The actual model shell thickness is 1.375”) • Run #3: E’s of shells B and C are 145 GPa, the value given by the specification. By modifying the thickness ratio of 1.05/1.375 for the shell A, the E of shell A becomes 111 GPa • Run #4: E of shell is 145 GPa except in the shell A thin wall regions, where E=111 GPa • Run #5: All shells having E=145 GPa, the value given by the specification. • Run #6: E of shell is 145 GPa except in the shell A thin wall regions, where E=124 GPa based on thickness ratio of 1.18/1.375. • Run #7: E of shell is 145 GPa except in the shell A thin wall regions, where E=137 GPa based on thickness ratio of 1.30/1.375
