Abstract
In the paper, a bi-objective optimization problem characterized by coupled field analysis is investigated. The optimal design of a pancake inductor for the controlled heating of a graphite disk is considered as the benchmark problem. The Pareto front trading off electrical efficiency and thermal uniformity is identified by means of a standard algorithm of evolutionary computing. A mesh-inspired definition of thermal uniformity is proposed.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
