Abstract
Since Bi2Sr2Ca1Cu2O8+x(Bi2212) wires are subject to mechanical loadings, degradation of critical current will occur. The effect of compressive loadings on the critical current of Bi2212 wire is studied by considering micro-buckling of filament. A Bi2212 wire is regarded as a unidirectional filament-reinforced composite in the theoretical analysis. By considering the influence of inclusion, the micro-buckling wavelength can be derived by using a two-dimensional model. Based on the experimental results, the critical current is fitted as a function of buckling wavelength. It is found that the decrease of the critical current is directly proportional to the reciprocal of square of the buckling wavelength. Change of micro-buckling wavelength with material parameters is discussed. A critical strain in the wire with a filament bridge is analyzed using the finite element method.
