TLDR
In this article, the authors present the basic uniaxial-strain scaling relationship and focus on its application to Nb3Sn conductors, and propose a general scaling relation which unifies the usual temperature scaling relation with this strain-scaling relation.

Unified scaling law for flux pinning in practical superconductors: I. Separability postulate, raw scaling data and parameterization at moderate strains*

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors introduced the unified scaling law (USL) for the flux-pinning force per unit conductor length in practical high-field superconductors, where K(t,?0) is a temperature-and-strain dependent prefactor.

A probe for investigating the effects of temperature, strain, and magnetic field on transport critical currents in superconducting wires and tapes

TL;DR: In this article, a variable-temperature probe has been developed to study the effect of strain on the transport properties of superconducting wires and tapes in high magnetic fields, by soldering it to a thick coiled spring and twisting one end of the spring with respect to the other.

Flux vortices and transport currents in type II superconductors

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors considered the effects of lattice rigidity on the summation of pinning forces and showed that a summation based on statistical arguments uses the same approximations and leads to the same results as a dissipation argument.

Scaling laws for flux pinning in hard superconductors

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the peak in Fp scales as [Hc2(T)]2.5 if the temperature is changed; the maximum value of Fp occurred at the same value of reduced field regardless of temperature.

Flux pinning mechanisms in type II superconductors

TL;DR: In this article, expressions for flux-pinning in type II superconductors are derived from considerations of the nature of the interaction between individual flux-lines and pinning-centres, and of the geometry of th...

Hysteresis in Superconducting Alloys-Temperature and Field Dependence of Dislocation Pinning in Niobium Alloys

TL;DR: In this paper, critical current and pinning-force densities in a series of niobium alloys subjected to severe plastic deformation have been determined from measurements of complete hysteretic magnetization curves on alloys with Ginzburg-Landau parameter $\ensuremath{\kappa}$ between 1.3 and 13 at temperatures from the critical temperature ${T}_{c}$ down to $0.14{T}
