Abstract
Applying the plane strain approach, the flux-pinning-induced magnetostriction of a transversely isotropic functionally graded long rectangular superconducting slab is studied analytically. The effects of both the applied magnetic field and elastic property distribution on magnetostriction for different symmetric cases of the slab are shown graphically and discussed in detail. Results presented in this paper should have potential applications to the design of superconducting materials and devices.
