8.9 Modeling Type-II Superconductors

The partial penetration of magnetic flux into Type-II superconductors may be simulated in QuickField using the nonlinear magnetics curve editor shown in Figure 8.10. Values are entered in the table at the right in this window and a continuous B-H curve is generated to fit to the tabulated values using a cubic spline fitting.

FIGURE 8.11 Flux penetration into a Type-ll superconductor with the nonlinear B-H curve given in Figure 8.13 for(a) B = 0.07 T (b) B = 0.2 T and (c) B = 0.7 T.

According to the B-H curve, the internal flux density is zero for magnetic field strengths below about. Figure 8.11 shows the penetration of flux into a Type-II superconductor with a square cross-section and the nonlinear B-H curve given in Figure 8.10. For an external flux density B = 0.07 T (a) there is no penetration of flux into the superconductor. Flux lines begin to penetrate the superconductor for B = 0.2 T (b) with greater flux penetration at B = 0.7 T (c).

Products & Services
Solenoid Valves
Solenoid valves are devices that use a solenoid to control valve activation.
Terminal Blocks
Terminal blocks are modular, insulated blocks that secure two or more wires together. Terminal blocks consist of an insulating body and a clamping device. Their flexibility allows wiring to be centralized and makes it easier to maintain complex control circuits.
PCB Terminal Blocks
PCB terminal blocks are modular, insulated devices that mount on printed circuit boards (PCBs) and secure two or more wires together. Some have integral pin terminals and mount through holes in the board. Others plug into PCB-mounted pin strips.
Air Cylinders
Air cylinders are pneumatic linear actuators that are driven by a pressure differential in the cylinder's chambers. They may be single-acting (with a spring return) or double-acting.
