Magnetoelastic Energy Calculations for Finite Element Analysis of Superconductors

摘要

It has been shown that the high current density and magnetic flux density associated with superconductors can make the magnetoelastic energy a significant portion of the total energy in a structural system. The present work presents a procedure for evaluating this magnetoelastic energy for use in the finite element analysis of the structural dynamics and stability of the superconductor. A simple, special case of the element matrices is illustrated. (ERA citation 03:024834)
