Stability is one of the key issues in the design of a superconductor, and indeed deserves
much attention in the magnet design and analysis. Stability-oriented design procedures and …

Superconductor stability is at the core of the design of any successful cable and magnet
application. This chapter reviews the initial understanding of the stability mechanism, and …

A zero-dimensional stability model has been developed for cable-in-conduit
superconductors. The model is effective in simulating the multivalued stability behavior in …

In a previous experiment on the stability of cable-in-conduit superconductors, we sometimes
observed multivalued stability margins, which we attributed to strong heating-induced …

Keystoned superconducting Rutherford cables are widely used in accelerator magnets like
in the LHC at CERN. An essential requirement in the cable design is its stability against local …

A new numerical model and calculation method for stability simulation of a cable-in conduit
conductor (CICC) has been developed. In this model, the governing equations are a one …

An analysis procedure has been developed for non-uniform current effects in
superconducting cables that contain many individual strands in limited electrical contact with …

Stability margin, ac response (losses and current distribution) and protection issues (hot-
spot temperature and maximum quench pressure) are the three primary aspects considered …

The stability of a forced-flow cooled superconducting coil is investigated by use of numerical
simulation. A numerical code to integrate the simultaneous partial differential equation …

Under fast magnetic field variations, ac losses are deposited in a Cable in Conduit
Conductor (CICC). The corresponding power losses are transferred to helium thanks to the …
