The differences in thermal contraction of the composite materials in a cable in conduit
conductor (CICC) for the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER), in …

The strong strain sensitivity of the critical properties of Nb 3 Sn is well established. However,
the roles played by both the reversible strain sensitivity and the susceptibility to brittle …

The quench process in a superconducting magnet is inherently transient and three-
dimensional (3D). In many cases, such as magnets protected by active protection systems …

Variations in the transport current of a superconducting magnet cause several types of
transitory losses. Due to its relatively short time constant, usually of the order of a few tens of …

Dynamic simulation of superconducting magnets is critical for the design of quench
protection systems to prevent potentially damaging temperatures and high voltage from …

Hysteresis losses of five Nb 3 Sn International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor
reference strands were investigated by means of magnetization loop measurements in a …

In the AC loss simulation, it is a huge challenge to model the twisted wire at the filament
level, due to the complex structure as well as long-time computation consumption. In this …

Quench-back is a complex but fascinating effect that could occur in canted-cosine-theta
(CCT) magnets: the fast discharge after quench of the superconducting coil induces …

Chinese fusion engineering test reactor (CFETR) is designed to bridge gaps between the
fusion experimental reactor ITER and the demonstration reactor (DEMO). Phase II of CFETR …

Tokamaks aim at producing energy by thermonuclear fusion heating a hydrogen plasma up
to 150 million K and confining it with an intense magnetic field created by magnets carrying …
