Effect of tape non uniformities on end-to-end V-I characteristics of superconducting tape

This code evaluates the influence of non-uniformities of (Ic,n) along a superconducting tape, modeled as a series of non-linear resistances, each characterized by its Ic and n. In particular, it calculates the effect of the statistical distributions of Ic and n of these segments on the end-to-end Ic and n of the tape. The code is developed for normal and Weibull distributions, but it can be easily adapted to be used with other types of statistical distributions and with measured data.

This model was shared by Francesco Grilli, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology.
