Numerical modeling of transient heating of solid plate 3D structure

Abstract

The heating of flat metal products has an increasing importance in different technical applications. One of the most advanatageous heating methods is induction heating. The heat is generated within the workpiece itself. It provides high power densities and high productivity. For induction heating of flat metal products two methods are applied: the longitudinal and the tranverse magnetic flux heating. In our case we have applied tranverse flux heating. This paper presents certain results of electromagnetic field obtained by means of finite element method and transient thermal field obtained by finite difference method. The analysis is made by simulating the heating phenomenon while the sophisticated software has been employed.
