Elastoplastic deformation of bodies interacting through contact under the action of pulsed electromagnetic field

Abstract

A formulation is presented for the problem of elastoplastic deformation of the system of electrically conductive bodies under the action of pulsed electromagnetic field. The numerical technique for solving the problem is based on the finite element method. Deformation of bodies interacting through contact during the pulsed magnetic treatment of materials is analyzed. The influence of the manufacturing and design parameters of the inductor–workpiece system on its stress-strain state is investigated.
