| Abstract: | We determine the temperature fields and stresses formed in an infinite nonferromagnetic conducting plate of constant thickness under the action of a pulsed electromagnetic field specified by the values of the tangential component of magnetic vector on the surfaces. In the case of electromagnetic action obeying the law of damped sinusoid, we perform the comparative numerical analysis of ponderomotive forces, temperature, and components of the dynamic stress tensor for plates made of stainless steel and copper. It is shown that the influence of electric and thermal conductivity, thermal diffusivity, the coefficient of linear thermal expansion, and Young's modulus on the quantitative and qualitative behavior of the analyzed parameters as functions of time is significant. |
