Mechanical Properties and Strain Effects in Superconductors

  • Chapter
Book cover Superconductor Materials Science: Metallurgy, Fabrication, and Applications

Part of the book series: NATO Advanced Study Institutes Series ((NSSB,volume 68))

Abstract

Superconductors within large-scale magnets can be subjected to high mechanical loads. These arise from three principal sources:

  1. 1.

    During fabrication, the conductor is subjected to both winding tension and bending strain. The latter can be particularly severe in dipole and quadrupole magnets, but also plays a role in small-bore high- field solenoids.
