Abstract

This work reviews the theory and experiments of vibrating high-temperature superconductors (period 1988-94). In particular we discuss results on the elastic coupling between the flux line lattice and pinning centres, magnetization measurements, flux diffusion, possible phase transitions and matching effects of the flux line lattice. Special emphasis has been devoted to the comparison of these results with results obtained by more conventional methods such as AC susceptibility, low-frequency torsional oscillators, I-V curves and surface impedance measurements.
