The thermostressed state of electrically conductive bodies subjected to an external electromagnetic field

A technique is proposed for mathematical and numerical modeling of thermomechanical processes in electrically conductive bodies subjected to an external electromagnetic field. The initial relations for the determination of the electromagnetic field are the Maxwell equations. The stress and strain states of the body are described using the equations of nonisothermal elastoplasticity. The model takes into account the coupling of the electromagnetic and thermal fields. All physical and mechanical parameters of the material depend on temperature. The process of high-temperature induction treatment of a ferromagnetic cylinder is considered as an example __________ Translated from Prikladnaya Mekhanika, Vol. 41, No. 12, pp. 13–25, December 2005.
