We present an exact solution of the critical-state model for a cylinder of elliptic cross section, and derive the equations for the constant-{ital B} contours. A method of obtaining magnetization curves is presented for the case where the critical current density {ital J}{sub {ital c}} is a general function of the field. The explicit cases of {ital J}{sub {ital c}} decaying exponentially with the field, and also according to Kim's model, are solved. Numerical results are presented for the exponentially decaying {ital J}{sub {ital c}}. The relevance of this calculation to the problem of sandpiles is discussed.
