Originally scheduled for EUSPEN International Conference and Exhibition at CERN 2020, the tutorial on Thermal Effects for Ultrastable Systems has been rescheduled to take place during ICE 2021 which will be hosted by TU Denmark in Copenhagen.
This tutorial will provide the framework required when designing mechanical systems with high immunity against thermal effects, i.e. temperature drifts and/or thermally induced elastic distortions. It will span basic and advanced concepts, practical evaluation tools and methods, as well as control strategies. A particular emphasis will be placed on the usage of an integrated approach, allowing to develop compact thermal elastic models sufficient to provide an understanding of the key parameters governing each problem. Such models can not only be used to decide on the severity of individual sources of disturbance but are also mandatory when designing practical mitigation solutions, either passive or active.
The approach will be illustrated with applications ranging from simple academic test cases and widespread components such as flexure-based translation stages, up to more advanced opto-mechanical systems.
From these examples, it will be demonstrated that the design of high-performance systems relies on a small set of concepts and rules, which can be effective for fulfilling ordinary or less conventional customers’ requests.
Intended audience: This is a beginning to intermediate level course, with material ranging from basic to complex, to provide both an overview and references for further study. The intended audience is graduates, postgraduate engineers/physicists, plus industry technical staff having a first experience in systems for which thermal stability aspects are relevant, and aiming at strengthening their insight so as to reduce guesswork for future projects.
