Deformation Behavior of Doubly Curved SS400 Thick Metal Plates by High Frequency Induction-Based Line Heating

Abstract:

Line heating-induced deformation behavior of an SS400 thick plate was investigated through both numerical analysis and experimental counterpart by applying induction heating (IH) as a heat source. The drastic increase of temperature gradient upon increasing input power could mainly be predicted by numerical analysis, which attributes to the amount of permanent bending deformation of the thick plate. After plotting the amount of vertical deformation as a function of various positions from top surface of the plate, we found that the higher input power, the more thermomechanical deformation can be generated, regardless of the purposed doubly curved shapes such as concave and saddle-type plates. Also there is good agreement between the numerical analysis and experimental measurement in terms of the transverse curvature.
