Finite Element Analysis of Coupled Magneto-Mechanical Problems of Conducting Plates.

Abstract

In design problems for fusion reactor structures and other magnetically loaded devices, the field and the magnetic forces are usually calculated for static conditions only. The structural analysis is then handled as a separate problem. Recently, more attention is being given to the transient field problems, but little work has been done in understanding the nature of the dynamic magnetic forces and the mutual interactions between the field and the structure. This paper presents a study of the magnetic forces, the mutual interaction between fields, and the induced vibrations of long conducting plates. The finite element method is used for analysis. Some numerical results are presented. (Author)
