Abstract
An approximate method of estimating hysteresis losses in hard super-conductors of complex geometry is described. It is based on approximating contours of current penetration by polygons and adjusting the polygons so that the vector potential is the same at all the corners; this corresponds to zero flux crossing the contour between corners. Two examples are worked: for a square-sectioned conductor and for a pair of closely spaced thick strips carrying antiparallel currents.Keywords
