| Title | Modelling, simulation and optimization of inductive pre- and post-heating for thermal cutting of steel plates |
| Host institution | Weierstrass Institute of Applied Analysis and Stochastics, Berlin, Germany |
| Brief description | The aim is the simulation of flame cutting of steel plates and the investigation of the influence of inductive pre- and postheating strategies for the problem of cut edge cracking. This involves the identification of the relation between temperature distribution and material strength and the computation of the heat profile based on different process parameters. |
