Abstract: The buckling analyses of type-II superconducting strip under applied perpendicular magnetic field and/or distributed uniform mechanical load are investigated in this paper. Based on the Bean critical state model, the electromagnetic body force is firstly given. Then, based on the classical plate theory and two-point initial value method, the critical buckling states of the superconducting strip with different boundary conditions are analyzed. Numerical results show the effects of both the thickness and boundary conditions of superconducting strip on the corresponding critical buckling loads. The present work should be helpful to the research and application of superconducting thin strips.

Keywords: Superconducting thin strip, electromagnetic body force, buckling, critical buckling load
