Effect of mechanical vibrations on the performance of superconducting magnets

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:7286672
An experimental investigation was made to determine the effects of a vibration environment on the critical currents of superconducting magnets and to determine a method of obtaining reliable performance of the magnets when subjected to vibrations. The degradation of the critical currents of the magnets was investigated within a vibration range of 100 to 2000 Hz with magnet accelerations up to 440 g. Results are presented.
