  Current and field profiles, and magnetization and AC losses are calculated
for an array of infinitely long superconducting tapes arranged vertically in a
perpendicularly applied magnetic field. Calculations are based on the critical
state model. The finite thickness of the tapes and the effects of demagnetizing
fields are considered. The influence of the magnetic coupling of the filaments
in the magnetic properties of the arrays are studied. The general model can be
applied to an arbitrary arrangement of tapes as long as there is reflection
symmetry with respect to the vertical central plane.
