Misc. Attach plates (my design) to the stator core of the machine

AI Thread Summary
The project involves assembling a stator core made of laminated electrical steel, an adhesive insulation tape, and a sheet of electrical steel. The adhesive tape will be applied to the inner diameter of the stator core, followed by the placement of the electrical steel plate, which consists of multiple strips. The assembly process requires careful alignment of the core's poles with the plate's fingers, ensuring they match in number. Given the potential for heat generation due to eddy currents, organic adhesives may not be suitable, suggesting the need for a mineral cement and a mechanical locking mechanism to secure the components. Additionally, the plate must be designed to collapse and expand in diameter for easy insertion into the core, which may involve making a cut or a 'z' bend at the joints between the sub-plates. Efficient techniques and tools for this assembly process are sought.

I am working on an electrical engineering project. However, I have come across a specific mechanical engineering problem. I have attached an image to describe what I want to do. I have primarily a stator core (made out of electrical steel laminated sheets) named part number "1". I have a double-sided adhesive insulation tape named part number "2". Lastly, I have a sheet of electrical steel, which I call a plate, named part number "3". The part number 2 will be put on the inner diameter of part number 1. After that, part number 3 will be put on the inner diameter of part number 1, which already has the part number 2. The part number 3 is made up of multiple strips (as you can see in the figure). Can you guys tell me the most efficient and precise way of putting these parts together, like I described above? You are welcome to give the suggestions regarding techniques or the tools. You are welcome to ask any follow-up questions.

I expect it will take more than double-sided tape2 to stop plate3 moving on core1. Plate3 will get hot due to eddy currents. That makes organic adhesives questionable. Maybe you will need a mineral cement and some form of mechanical lock.

There would need to be some way to align the poles of core1 with the fingers of plate3. I assume the poles are equal in number. Plate3 would need to be made to collapse, then expand in diameter, so it could be inserted, then unrolled or expanded onto the inside of core1. That would require one cut, or a 'z' bend in each joiner between the sub-plates of plate3.
 
Some time ago I posted this Raspberry PI DIY Mass Spec using Raman Scattering. It's was something of a cumbersome project though, needing a 3D printer and special heat-resistant plastic giving of carcinogenic fumes during printing. To be blunt it was also not very mobile and interpreting the results was further cumbersome Recently though, I've been told that Arduino, and it's various sensor packages, has matured to the point where it's a usable alternative. Now I realize that a cigarette...
Thread 'Nonlinear rubberband type thing - "k" dropping fast as it is stretched'
What materials can I try in order to get a curve of displacement versus force that looks somewhat like this.. (of course, there would be a small kink around the origin where the ends of the rubberband are closer together than its length, which is not shown here). I am looking for something that will last at least 100 stretch cycles and is not messy, so for example liquid based colloidal stuff won't be suitable. Is there something one can whip up using silicone and some additive, say? Or...
