Abstract :
An optimization study aimed at minimum weight under certain constraints on module size and weight has been carried out. This study includes a structural material survey of materials with high specific strength and modulus, and an analysis of the effectiveness of coil configuration parameters on the value of E/M, energy stored per unit mass. Some typical structure problems, such as buckling in the bucking cylinder, are also discussed
