Research from the Plasma Science and Fusion Center Dataverse by Chiesa, L.; Allen, N.C.; Takayasu, M. investigates the mechanical characteristics of Twisted Stacked-Tape Cable (TSTC) conductors for high-temperature superconductors. The dataset likely contains experimental results from tests on YBCO tapes from two suppliers and several TSTC samples under transverse loads at 77 K. The work was last updated on 2026-06-03.
Use Cases
- Modeling mechanical degradation in superconducting cables based on transverse load test results.
- Comparing the performance of YBCO tapes from different suppliers under operational-like electromagnetic loads.
- Designing high-field magnets using TSTC conductors based on localized vs. uniform loading condition effects.
Strengths
- Experimental data includes tests at high magnetic fields ranging from 4 T to 20 T.
- Analysis covers YBCO tapes from two different suppliers, allowing for comparative study.
- Mechanical testing simulates loads similar to natural electromagnetic forces during operation.
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
- Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
