AI Article Synopsis
- Engineers often use finite-element analysis to assess how single crystals deform under bending or thermal loads at synchrotron beamlines.
- ANSYS Workbench is a popular software choice for these simulations, providing insights into displacements, strains, and stresses.
- A new method has been developed to extract local reciprocal lattice vectors for X-ray diffraction calculations, applied to a specific double-crystal monochromator project at the Diamond Light Source.
Article Abstract
Finite-element analysis is frequently used by engineers at synchrotron beamlines to calculate the elastic deformation of a single crystal undergoing mechanical bending or thermal load. ANSYS Workbench software is widely used for such simulations. However, although ANSYS Workbench software provides useful information on the displacements, strains and stresses within the crystal, it does not yield the local reciprocal lattice vectors that would be required for X-ray diffraction calculations. To bridge this gap, a method based on the shape functions and interpolation procedures of the software itself has been developed. An application to the double-crystal bent Laue monochromator being designed for the I12 (JEEP) wiggler beamline at the Diamond Light Source is presented.
