The 60K load-lock model is shown in Figure-1. Five proposed design
variations were modeled, as listed below:

132. F.Mirshams 4/28/06
• The assumed model boundary conditions are shown in Figure-2. Only 1/2 of the actual assembly was
modeled, taking advantage of symmetry in the geometry, and boundary conditions.
• The maintenance access opening’s bolted-in cover plate is not considered structurally significant,
thus it is not included in the model.
• Load-Lock chamber and lid-cover are made of Aluminum 6061-T6, with the following properties:
– Elastic Modulus = 10.0e+6 psi
– Poisson’s Ratio = 0.33
– Density = 0.0981 lb/in**3
• The computed deformation plots, and deformation animation movies are displayed in the follow up
slides.

FEA Modeling of 60K/50K Ceramic Assemblies / Camlock CB Hole Size Study
• Two proposed design variations were modeled, per CAD files listed below:
• 1. CAD file: “60K 125 taper 17 shaft 8 cbored camlocks”
• 2. CAD file: “50K assembly larger camlock cbores”
• Two levels of structural modeling were performed for each assembly, as follows:
• 1. The ceramic assembly was modeled as fully-bonded parts composing a single ceramic piece. Thus no possible gapping
or slippage between assembly parts were allowed in the model.
• 2. The ceramic assembly was modeled as separate piece parts in non-bonded frictionless contact, using ANSYS surface to
surface contact elements. Thus assembly parts could flex individually causing gaps to form.
• The assumed model boundary conditions are shown in the follow up slides. Only ¼ of the actual assembly
was modeled, taking advantage of symmetry in the geometry, and boundary conditions.
• Locating pins & camlock fasteners are not considered structurally significant, thus they were not included in
the model.
• Assembly parts are made of COORSTEK / AD-96 Ceramic material with the following properties:
• Elastic Modulus = 44.0e+6 psi
• Poisson’s Ratio = 0.21
• Density = 0.135 lb/in**3
• The computed Maximum Principal stress plots are displayed in the follow up slides.

FEA Modeling of 25K Ceramic Assembly
• The FEA model is created per CAD file listed below:
• CAD file: “25K IPS Support Ceramics”
• Two possible loading configuration for the ceramic plates, by the Susceptor, were modeled:
• 1. Susceptor’s weight is supported evenly between the outer ceramic plates load pad areas
• 2. Susceptor’s weight is supported evenly by the outer ceramic plates load pad areas, and an Aluminum shim at the main
ceramic plate’s center hole
• The assumed model boundary conditions are shown in the follow up slides. Only ¼ of the actual assembly was modeled, taking
advantage of symmetry in the geometry, and boundary conditions. Locating pins & camlock fasteners are not considered
structurally significant, thus they were not included in the model.
Ceramic assembly parts are made of COORSTEK / AD-96 with the following properties:
• Elastic Modulus = 44.0e+6 psi
• Poisson’s Ratio = 0.21
• Density = 0.135 lb/in**3
Center shim is made of Aluminum-6061 with the following properties:
• Elastic Modulus = 10.0e+6 psi
• Poisson’s Ratio = 0.33
• Density = 0.0981 lb/in**3
• The computed deformation & Maximum Principal stress plots are displayed in the follow up slides.
