Finite Element Modeling of Superconducting Magnet

In this paper, the computation of magnetization of a strand constituted of two superconducting square bars immersed in a uniform magnetic field is studied. The numerical results are obtained from the program developed with the FEM. Bean´s critical state model is carried out to characterize the electrical behavior law of superconducting materials. The magnetization cycle, the magnetic field and the current density distributions are presented. The influence of strand length on the electromagnetic coupling phenomena in the superconducting square bars is also considered. The obtained results are in good agreement with the theoretical results.
