摘要

Superconducting materials are always severely restricted in practical engineering applications due to their carryingcurrent degradation under mechanical loads.Based on Ekin's exponential model and Weibull's distribution function,we propose an empirical degradation model for describing the mechanical deformation influence on the critical-current of Bi-based superconducting multi-filamentary composite tapes under axial loading.The critical currents of superconducting tapes depending on the axial strain are investigated analytically.It is shown that the predictions by the developed degradation model agree with the experimental data,in the processes of axial mechanical loading and unloading on the samples.The effect of the critical tension and compression damage strains on the normalized critical currents is also discussed.
