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.

A model for the prediction of Nb3Sn critical current as a function of field, temperature, strain, and radiation damage

TL;DR: In this article, an empirical model is presented that predicts the critical current density (J/sub c/) of Nb/sub 3/Sn wires under the combined effects of temperature, strain, and radiation damage.

Evidence for weak link and anisotropy limitations on the transport critical current in bulk polycrystalline Y1Ba2Cu3Ox

TL;DR: In this paper, a current transfer model is proposed in which weak conduction along the c axis plays a role in limiting critical-current density at grain boundaries, and the effect of intrinsic conduction anisotropy is discussed.

A general scaling relation for the critical current density in Nb3Sn

TL;DR: In this paper, a scaling relation for the upper critical field (Hc2) with temperature (T) and A15 composition was proposed, which is more consistent than the usual Ekin unification of strain and temperature dependence.

Effect of axial strain on the critical current of Ag‐sheathed Bi‐based superconductors in magnetic fields up to 25 T

TL;DR: In this paper, the irreversible strain limit for the onset of permanent axial strain damage to Ag-sheathed Bi2Sr2Ca1Cu2O8+x and Bi 2Sr 2Ca2Cu3O10+x superconductors has been measured to be in the range of 0.2% −0.35%.

Effect of bronze on the compression of Nb3Sn in multifilamentary conductors

G. Rupp
- 01 Dec 1978 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the ratio of the maximum critical current to the initial critical current increases with the flux density and reaches a value of two at a flux density of 16 T for technical conductors.

The influence of tensile stress on the critical current of filamentary Nb 3 Sn magnet conductor

TL;DR: In this article, the influence of tensile stress on the critical current properties of filamentary Nb 3 Sn composites is investigated. But the results obtained for one type of composite show that the critical currents are reduced by tensile stresses up to 240-250MN/m2 (e~ 0.5%).

Kritisches Verhalten von V 3 Si und Nb 3 Sn unter uniaxialem Zug im transversalen Magnetfeld

TL;DR: In this article, the critical data of superconductivity, i.e. temperature, magnetic field and current, were investigated on V3Si-single cristals and V 3Si- and Nb3Sn-diffusion wires in transverse magnetic fields under uniaxial tension.

Effect of uniaxial stress on the superconducting transition temperature of monocrystalline Nb3Sn

TL;DR: In this article, the authors measured the stress dependence of the superconducting transition temperature (Tc) of single crystals of Nb3Sn oriented in the (001) direction and showed that Tc is about 1,000 times larger than that observed for elemental superconductors.
