At present, airframes are mainly composed of monolithic components, instead small parts joined using welding or riveting. Ribs, stringers, spars, and bulkheads can be included in this category. After milling, they assembled to the aircraft skins, which have also been milled. The aim these is obtain a good strength-weight ratio, owing their homogeneity. milling structural part implies removing up 95 per cent weight from raw block material. Therefore, main objective achieve highest removal...

Abstract The numerical simulation of the induction heating process can be computationally expensive, especially if ferromagnetic materials are studied. There several analytical models that describe electromagnetic phenomena. However, these very limited by geometry coil and workpiece. Thus, usual method for computing more complex systems is to use finite element solve set equations in multiphysical system, but this easily becomes time consuming. This paper deals with problem solving a coupled...
