Abstract The U.S. Magnet Development Program (US-MDP) explores high-field accelerator magnets compatible with operational conditions beyond the limits of Nb3Sn technology. The ongoing R&D High-Temperature Superconductors (HTS) suggests using Bi2Sr2CaCu2O 8 x (Bi-2212) as superconducting element. Bi-2212 Rutherford cables maintain a high critical current ( I C ) when exposed to a large external magnetic field. However, Bi-2212 exhibits an oversensitive stress–strain response when subject to large Lorentz forces. This paper reports on the magnetic and mechanical analysis of the Bi-2212 cosine-theta insert being developed at Fermilab for a hybrid magnet composed of two external layers of Nb3Sn and two internal layers of Bi-2212. We performed a FEM analysis of the insert to estimate the HTS stress state in the coil’s strands under magnetic and mechanical loads.
