Engineering Principles for Superconducting Magnet Systems

Martin N. Wilson presents superconductivity as an engineering-design problem, building a quantitative foundation for magnet systems across a wide range of scales. The material extends from smaller magnets used in research settings to large installations associated with thermonuclear fusion and magnetohydrodynamic power generation. Stabilization receives sustained attention because of its relationship to system reliability, while field and stress calculations are treated as essential parts of the design process. First published in revised form in 1987, this is a technically focused physics and engineering reference centered on the practical demands of designing superconducting magnets.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Engineers designing or evaluating superconducting magnet systems
  • Physicists working with superconducting-magnet applications
  • Students seeking a quantitative reference on magnet design, stabilization, fields, and stresses

Book overview

This book is the first to treat the engineering of superconductivity. It provides a complete theoretical basis for the quantitative engineering design of superconducting magnet systems, from the small instrument magnets used as everyday research tools to the very large magnet systems used to work on thermonuclear fusion and magnetohydrodynamic power generation. The author devotes particular attention to the problem of stabilization, a crucial factor in the design process due to its bearing on the overall reliability of the completed system, and also describes the essential features of field and stress calculation. Engineers and physicists involved in the design of systems utilizing superconducting magnets will welcome this publication.
