It is supposed to be the first fusion device designed for testing the integrated technologies, materials, and physical aspects necessary for development of the commercially available fusion-power plant. One of the important components of the project is optical diagnostic systems with collecting mirrors. These mirrors have to provide stability of optical systems under severe loads of different types that could possibly arise in the tokamak. The collecting mirrors of several ITER diagnostics have a large scale and should be installed into diagnostic ports. Thermal stress analysis of the mirror updated design is aimed to obtain deformation and rotation values of the mirrors’ reflecting surfaces in order to conduct ray tracing analysis and to edit mirrors alignment to provide correct functioning of the optical systems. The maximum temperature values of the Divertor Thomson Scattering collecting mirrors were estimated for the normal operation mode. The FE model of the second mirror takes into account all the force boundary conditions, basic kinematic boundary conditions and constraints. Boundary conditions taken for the simulation were applied on surfaces contacting with the diagnostic rack. Thermally stressed state was calculated and corresponding displacement and rotation distributions were obtained.}, title = {Structural analysis of large-scale SS collecting mirrors for ITER diagnostics}, volume = {168}, year = {2021} }
