Objectives:
• Determine deflections of C1 under gravity loads for RTV mount
• Determine stresses in C1, elastomer, and cell for -20C temp swing
Models:
• 1/2 geometry model
• 3mm RTV elastomeric bond (radial and axial directions)
• Invar cell, FS lens
• Assume a perfectly rigid barrel
Load cases:
• gravity along optical axis
• gravity across optical axis
• steady-state temperature change of -20C

Conclusions:
• Gravity deflections seen here are probably negligible
• Thermal stresses are very low relative to yield for all three materials
• The RTV mount provides stiff yet thermally compensating support
• This FEA model is readily adapted to other geometry and materials
• Although 90mm central thickness of C1 appears to be OK for mounting and thermal loads, it will very difficult to fabricate and test. The RTV mount can easily accommodate a thicker lens.
