Abstract
A simple model is presented that can describe the electro-mechanical state of a multifilamentary wire. An elastic cylinder model is used to derive the strain state analytically. Axial and transverse forces came a position dependent critical current density in the wire. The integral critical current of such a wire is calculated. The effect of two different parameters, the hydrostatic and the deviatoric strain, on the critical current is compared. The critical current reduction of a model wire due to various external loads in a Nb 3Sn wire is analysed. Finally the position of the superconducting filaments is considered
