Validation and study of the design and simulation model of the ProtoDUNE cryostats

A strain gauge analysis on the DP-ProtoDUNE (NP02) cryostat was performed in order to validate the detector design and dimensions. Due to the positive outcome of this and further analyses a robust and predictable structural behaviour of the ProtoDUNE cryostat can be conrmed. A pressure test yielded no danger of weakening the cryostat structure, which varies the correct design and dimensions, allows the improvement of current predictions of FEA models and safety capabilities. Within this Summer Student Project a generic plotting toolkit was created in order to generate monitoring means for a stable and automatised monitoring of data. Due to the generality of the code, this toolkit holds the potential to be adapted to an outreach beyond the ProtoDUNE experiment.
