The flux-pinning-induced singular stress field near the crack tips of a central crack is
investigated. A model is presented in this paper to estimate the effect of the electromagnetic …

We have magnetized the EuBaCuO ring bulk reinforced by a stainless steel ring during field-
cooled magnetization (FCM) at 50 K under the magnetic fields from 6.3, 7.3 or 8.3 T, in which …

Bulk high-temperature superconductors (HTSs) that act as a trap field magnet establish a
novel type of magnetic field source, which is significantly different from that of a permanent …

Bulk high-temperature superconductors exhibit outstanding electromagnetic properties and
are capable of trapping very large magnetic fields. However, bulk superconductors are …

In the present work we report the mechanical properties of ca (b)-planes of Ag-doped top-
seeded melt-grown YBaCuO (YBCO) pellets at different concentrations. Hardness and …

In the present work, the crack problem of a long cylindrical superconductor with a center
crack is investigated. The Bean and Kim model of critical state are considered, and the …

The interaction between a crack and an inclusion in a type-II superconductor is investigated
in this paper. Using the finite element method, the crack–inclusion problem can be solved …

In this work, the edge-crack problem is investigated for a long cylindrical high-temperature
superconductor (HTS) under electromagnetic force. The distributions of the current density …

The high-temperature bulk superconductors with high critical current density are brittle, and
can be damaged by large Lorentz forces and thermal stress during magnetization. Several …

We have measured the mechanical strain, ${\varepsilon} _ {\theta}= d {L} _ {\theta}/{L} _
{\theta}, $ using strain gauges adhered along the circumferential (θ) direction on the …
