Abstract
Several interesting characteristics in the strain force measurement of the supporting structure of the modified D-shaped toroidal coil for 1 kWh exper imental SMES (ESK) have been observed. A simple analytical model is develop ed to simulate the measured characteristics. With this model, the mechanica l behavior of the superconductor in the coil is studied. Calculated results based on this model show good agreement with the observed characteristics. Mechanical losses of the superconducting coil are also discussed using thi s model.
