β¦ Synopsis
The magnetic flux penetrating a superconductor is represented as a set of flux lines, interacting with each other through a realistic potential derived from Ginzburg-Landau theory and with a random pinning potential. The effects of temperature are simulated by a stochastic Langevin force. Initial calculations have been confined to a one-dimensional model. The current-voltage characteristics of the model have been investigated for a range of temperatures and of relative pinning and interaction strengths and a sharp de-pinning transition has been observed.

The invited talk was given by the author. ## Study of tlux motion and resistance in the new superconductors is of interest both for achievement of usefully low resistance at usefully large current densities, and for conceptual understanding of the idealized resistive behavior in the zero current
We study a vortex line motion in type-ll superconductors which is driven by vortex line tenston, Lorentz force, pinning force and thermal fluctuations. On the basis of the local stochastic differential equation for the vortex motmn with no torsion approximation, several computer s~mulations are perf
A model for vortex depinning and motion is presented, which takes into account the inhomogeneity of a real type-II superconducting sample. The model is based upon a mechanism in which the flux-line lattice is depinned by synchronous shear around vortices, which are too strongly pinned to be broken.
