Abstract
We studied the mechanical properties of bulk Y–Ba–Cu–O superconductors by applying cyclic loads using a three-point bending test setup. X-ray tomography was used to monitor the presence of cracks inside the sample. We also evaluated the adhesive forces between the epoxy resins and bulk Y–Ba–Cu–O superconductors using the tensile test. X-ray tomographic observations showed that cracking was mainly formed along the cleavage plane, although the stress was applied perpendicular to this plane. We confirmed that a strong adhesive force between the resin and bulk materials was responsible for the improvement of the mechanical properties of bulk materials.
