Scientific paper

A theoretical framework is presented, which allows to explain many experimental facts related to pinning and cross-flow effects between flux tubes in type-II superconductors. It is shown that critical state principles, in the manner introduced by C. P. Bean for parallel vortex lattices, may be used to describe the observed behavior. We formulate a least action principle, giving place to a variational interpretation of the critical state. The coarse-grained electrodynamic response of the superconductor is solved by minimizing the magnetic field changes, for a current density vector constrained to belong to some bounded set (Delta). It is shown that the selection of Delta determines the specific critical state model in use. Meaningful choices of Delta are discussed in view of the related physical mechanisms.
