Summary

The strain dependence of the critical current of surface-coated bismuth-2212 tapes is reported. Two methods are used in the measurements. The effect of bend strain on the critical current is obtained by a stepped cone apparatus. Peak stress or strain dependence of the critical current and the effect of the number of strain cycles on the critical current is also studied on multiple samples by employing a new in situ stress/strain device. The results show that the number of strain cycles does not significantly affect the critical current. Rather, the critical current of the tape depends only on the level of peak strain.
