Abstract:Cable-in-conduit conductors made of Nb 3 Sn strands, as envisaged in high-field magnets for fusion applications (e.g., the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) project), have been shown to be prone to degradation of their current transport capability when subject to high electromagnetic forces (coming from the combination of a high current and a high magnetic field), particularly under cyclic loading. Although some optimization of the cable layout can be envisaged to mitigate this effect, th… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
