INVESTIGATION OF INDUCTION HEATING OF NON-FERROMAGNETIC METAL HALF-SPACE WITH CORRUGATED SURFACE: THE EXCITING MAGNETIC FIELD IS PERPENDICULAR TO THE PLANE OF THE CORRUGATED PROFILE

Abstract

In this paper the electromagnetic field of a metal half-space with corrugated surface is investigated in the case where the exciter magnetic field is perpendicular to the plane of the corrugated profile. The partial differential equation of the two-dimensional field computation was solved using linear base functions, exactly fulfilling the differential equations, while the coefficients were determined to fulfil the boundary conditions approximately. A computer program was made to analyse the effect of different parameters.
