A 162.5 MHz superconducting half-wave resonator (HWR) with geometry beta of 0.09 is being developed for Injector II of China Accelerator Driven Sub-critical System (CADS) Project at the Institute of Modern Physics (IMP). The HWR section composed of 16 HWR cavities will accelerate the proton beam from 2.1 MeV to 10 MeV. The RF and mechanical coupled analysis are essential in geometry design in order to predict the deformation of the cavity walls and the frequency shift caused by the deformation. In this paper, the detuning caused by both bath helium pressure and Lorentz force is analysed and a tuning system has been investigated and designed to compensate the detuning by deforming the cavity along the beam axis. The simulations performed with ANSYS code show that the tuning system can adjust and compensate the frequency drift due to external vibrations and helium pressure fluctuation during operation.
