This paper presents results of finite element analysis of induction heating problems considering temperature dependence of material characteristics. In this analysis, we have used the three-dimensional finite element method in order to correctly express induction heating coil's shapes and to make clear its effects on temperature distributions. The heat-conducting problem and the eddy current problem are coupled, and solved by using the step-by-step calculations.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
