Abstract
Preliminary structural analysis and design is presented for the reaction chamber of a preconceptual light ion beam target development facility (TDF). The chamber consists of a capped, reinforced cylindrical shell submerged in a water shield. Axisymmetric response is determined for blast waves generated by target ignition. From the analysis, design curves are developed for dynamic displacements and flexural stresses of the shell wall. It is shown that the added mass effect of the water can substantially reduce the response and that a practical design is possible for a range of geometric parameters and materials.
