Abstract
In order to describe the tensile strength and elongation to failure of multifilamentary Nb3Sn superconducting composite materials with small amounts of Nb3Sn showing multiple fracture, approximate calculation methods are proposed. In the proposed calculation method, the concept of shear-lag analysis and the plastic instability approach for metallic composites are employed. The experimental results are fairly well described by the present calculation methods.
