Bending Strain Effect on the Critical Current of Jointed BSCCO Tapes

  • Published : 2009.11.12

Abstract

In this study, the effect of bending strain on the transport property and critical current of lap and butt-jointed BSCCO tapes have been investigated. The samples were joined using a mechanically controlled jointing procedure. In order to ensure a uniform pressure application at the joint part, a single point contact has been devised and also to achieve a uniform thickness at the joint interface.
