Abstract
REBCO tapes, known as second generation (2G) high temperature superconducting (HTS) tapes, are promising for their application in high field magnets and high current cables. However, in practical applications 2G HTS tapes always need to be bent, which causes the degradation of critical current. Therefore, it is necessary to study the bending characteristics of 2G HTS tapes. Studies have been carried out regarding easy bending and hard bending characteristics, but there has been no research into the characteristics of out-of-plane bending with different bending angles. This paper theoretically analyzes the out-of-plane bending with different bending angle characteristics of 2G HTS tapes and deduces the strain formula of different bending modes. Experiments on the bending characteristics of 2G HTS tapes were performed in liquid nitrogen. The experiments verified the theoretical calculation, and the results have significance for the applications of 2G HTS tapes.
