摘要

Mechanical and electrical measurement equipment has been constructed for the cyclic testing of embedded conductors similar to UWMAK-TF conductor designs. The test rig uses 23 strain gages on a circular disk structure which cyclically strains the conductor at liquid helium temperature. The first sample tests indicate that B stage fiberglass-epoxy adhesive is a weak adhesive for the copper-epoxy-stainless steel bond.
