Abstract :
A two-dimensional numerical model coupling the various physical phenomena (electromagnetic and thermal) taking place in the induction heating process has been developed and coupled with an optimization and optimal control analysis. We present a general cost function related to most of the industrial objectives. The optimal control theory related to the cost function as well as with the direct model equations is then presented along with some very promising results
